Sticker | NITRO! (Lenticular) is a Counter-Strike 2 sticker introduced with the Season 5 content update in July 2026.

Visual Description

Bright blue, cyan, orange, and white colors contrast against darker outlines, ensuring the sticker remains highly visible on both tactical and brightly colored weapon skins.
History and Origin
Released during the July 2026 Season 5 update, NITRO! (Lenticular) belongs to Valve's collection of premium stickers featuring advanced visual effects.

Like other stickers, it becomes permanently attached after application and supports progressive scraping to produce a personalized worn appearance.
Popularity and Usage
The sticker is especially popular among players who enjoy racing-inspired inventories, futuristic cosmetics, and visually dynamic sticker crafts. It pairs naturally with blue, black, silver, and cyber-themed weapon finishes while also complementing mechanical and industrial designs. The changing lenticular presentation makes it a standout centerpiece for showcase weapons.
Price Formation Factors
Its market value depends on collector demand, the rarity of the Lenticular finish, overall supply, and long-term crafting trends.
