Sticker | Bolt Charge (Foil)

Sticker | Bolt Charge (Foil) is an Exotic sticker from the Elemental Craft Sticker Pack. It is the foil version of the most common design in the set and one of the three most expensive stickers in it.

What the Sticker | Bolt Charge (Foil) looks like

The design matches the paper version: a bundle of zigzags runs down and to the left in a sharp wedge, with short ragged branches off the main bolt. The paint is different, though. Instead of a yellow outline there are solid violet bolts with a dark purple core and a light lilac edge.

The foil gives a metallic gleam. As the weapon turns, the top layer catches the light and the edges of the bolts go almost white. On a black or dark gray body the sticker stands out at once. On light camo, the dense purple in the middle of the zigzags carries it.

The finish is foil, not holographic. There are no rainbow shifts, and the shine is even and mirror-like.

Where the Sticker | Bolt Charge (Foil) came from

The foil lightning appeared on October 2, 2024, when The Armory update brought the Elemental Craft Sticker Pack. The pack's theme is the elements: lightning, fire, water and a blast.

This sticker was not in capsules. Armory credits bought the pack.

Since July 8, 2026, the Armory no longer hands out Elemental Craft. Issuance is closed, no new copies appear, and supply is fixed.

How the sticker works

The sticker goes on any firearm, and there are five sticker slots on the weapon. The player picks the position and the rotation, so the lightning can lie along the receiver or on the handguard.

Neither knives nor gloves will take it. They have no slots for stickers at all.

The player adds scraping step by step, and it cannot be rolled back. On the final step the sticker vanishes from the weapon. The weapon's float does not change, and the sticker itself has no wear tiers. There is no StatTrak or Souvenir version, and it does not go into a trade-up contract.

What the Sticker | Bolt Charge (Foil) costs

The main reference point is the paper Bolt Charge. The foil version costs about nine times more. The design is identical, and the gap comes from the finish and the smaller supply.

Within the pack this sticker takes third place by price out of twenty-six. Only two items in the set rank above it, and everything else sits below, the paper version included.

It costs less than the pack's Lenticular variants, but an order of magnitude more than the paper lightning. In CS2 it gives no edge in play. The payment is for the foil and the closed supply.

Who it suits

• You want a lightning with a shine for a dark weapon, and the pack's Lenticular stickers are already too expensive.


• You are building a craft in a cool palette. Violet pairs well with blue and black.


• Your Elemental Craft collection should hold both the paper and the foil version of one design.


• A supply that can no longer grow matters to you.
