Sticker | Dust FA (Foil)

The Sticker | Dust FA (Foil) is an Exotic-rank sticker from the 10 Year Birthday Sticker Capsule. It is a playful "football league" of the famous map: gold lettering and a trophy in place of the usual weapon art.

What the Sticker | Dust FA looks like

On the left is a large "DUST 2" in chunky gold letters, with a small line reading "Football Association" beneath. On the right is a gold trophy topped with a soccer ball, and its edge covers part of the last digit.

There is no background, and the outline is cut around the letters and the trophy. The whole design is held in gold: light highlights on the facets, dark bronze shadows in the recesses.

The finish is foil, meaning metallic: the surface mirrors and gleams like polished metal. On a dark barrel the gold stands out at once, and on a light weapon it looks softer.

Where the Sticker | Dust FA came from

The sticker was in the 10 Year Birthday Sticker Capsule, an anniversary capsule themed on ten years of Counter-Strike. A precise release date is not given in our data, so we name no month or year.

The name points to the map Dust 2, long since a symbol of the game. The design is built as a joke for those who know the map: there is no official league behind it, but there is a recognizable trophy.

How the sticker works

The Dust FA sticker goes on any firearm. There are five sticker slots, and the player sets the position and rotation freely: the lettering can be turned along the barrel.

Knives and gloves do not take stickers.

Scraping on a sticker is added by hand and cannot be undone. The earlier look does not come back, and the last step removes the sticker from the weapon altogether. The weapon's float stays the same.

Stickers have no wears, no StatTrak and no Souvenir version, and trade-up does not apply to them.

What the Sticker | Dust FA costs

There is no other finish of this artwork to compare against: it has no paper or holographic version, only the metallic one. The set itself serves as the reference.

In the 10 Year Birthday Sticker Capsule this sticker stands tenth out of sixty-five, which puts it in the upper part of the list. Only nine entries cost more, and the other fifty-five cost less.

Buying this sticker for CS2 in this finish makes sense for the look and the collection: in CS2 a sticker changes neither aim nor damage. The metallic finish is the only one here, so the question of which version to take never arises.
