Charm | Backsplash

Charm | Backsplash is a High Grade charm from the Small Arms Charm Collection. It is a weapon charm: a miniature submachine gun clad in turquoise tile.

What the Charm | Backsplash looks like

The charm is a compact submachine gun covered in turquoise-green tile with white grout lines. The tile is uneven and streaked, like an old kitchen wall.

A dark metal ring is attached at the top. The palette is cool and uniform, all turquoise and mint, with the grout picked out in lighter lines.

Where the Charm | Backsplash came from

Backsplash belongs to the Small Arms Charm Collection. The charm category itself launched on October 2, 2024, together with The Armory.

Valve gives it no backstory and no commentary. The description only covers how charms are attached and removed.

How the charm works

Backsplash goes on weapons and on C4 skins. Knives and gloves cannot take it. The Charm Detachment tool takes it off, and it lands back in your CS2 inventory without a scratch.

A weapon has a single charm slot, and Sticker Slab claims it too, so you choose between the two. The tiled submachine gun is a 3D model with physics: it swings on its ring when you run or turn sharply.

Pattern number

Every copy of Backsplash has its own pattern number, which the inspect screen shows. The number changes nothing about the look. It stays a collector's marker.

What the Charm | Backsplash costs

Backsplash is priced on a par with four other charms in the Small Arms Charm Collection.

The money here goes to a piece of the set, not to Backsplash as such. Only Baby's AK costs less than those five.

Who it suits

Buying Backsplash for CS2 makes sense when:

• you want a weapon-shaped charm with a turquoise tile texture;


• you are completing the Small Arms Charm Collection and Backsplash is still missing;


• your weapon runs dark or warm, and you want a cool, contrasting accent.
