Sticker | Taste Buddy (Holo)

Sticker | Taste Buddy (Holo) is a holographic sticker of Remarkable rank from the Character Craft Sticker Pack. It is a mouth with a rainbow tongue sticking out.

What the Sticker | Taste Buddy looks like

An open mouth with a green-and-blue edge, two shiny eyes on top, and a dark interior with purple teeth. The tongue fills almost the whole lower part and is painted in rainbow streaks.

The tongue shimmers from purple and pink to red, yellow, green and blue. A highlight and a soft shadow are drawn in, and the teeth are lavender.

The holographic finish (Holo) adds a shimmer over the art: the color of the tongue changes as the weapon turns. On a dark barrel the sticker is bright, while on a light one the dark mouth and eyes stand out most.

The design is symmetrical and crisp: the mouth sits in the center, the eyes above it, and everything else is a thin outline. That is why the sticker reads even at a small size on a weapon.

The dark mouth and the black arc-shaped brows set off the rainbow tongue, so the hologram does not blend into the weapon's paint.

Where the Sticker | Taste Buddy came from

The sticker belongs to the Character Craft Sticker Pack. This is an Armory set: it was bought with credits and never sat in capsules. The set left the Armory on October 1, 2025.

Character Craft has twenty-five stickers, and the holographic finish sets the Taste Buddy apart from the plain paper designs of the set. No other versions of this design were released.

How the sticker works

The Taste Buddy can be applied to any firearm, and there are five sticker slots. The player chooses position and rotation. Knives and gloves take no stickers.

Scraping is added by hand and only forward. The wear cannot be removed, and at the last step the sticker disappears. The float of the weapon does not change because of it.

Five slots allow the Taste Buddy to serve as the main accent while the other places stay empty, so the hologram does not get lost.

What the Sticker | Taste Buddy costs

There are no other finishes of this design, so there is one reference point: its place in the set. Here the sticker ranks third by price out of twenty-five, and nothing matches it in price.

This is the upper part of the Character Craft row, clearly above the paper stickers. The price is set by the holographic finish and the rank, and the print run stays limited: the set is no longer handed out.

Buying the Taste Buddy for CS2 makes sense for a rare holographic sticker with bright art. In CS2 it gives no gameplay advantage, like the others.

The sticker's rank is Remarkable, higher than the paper designs of the set. For Character Craft that is a notable difference: the holographic finish pulls the rank up.
