Connecting to the Inspect Server

To inspect skins directly in-game with additional features like !gen and !combo commands, connect to the server

Connect via Console

- Open the in-game console and type: connect 185.52.54.190:27015

Adjust Graphics:

- If the game looks grainy, set "High Dynamic Range" to "Quality" in the advanced video settings.
- Using this map and server, you can easily inspect and screenshot your CS2 skins in various lighting conditions and backgrounds, ensuring you get the perfect view of your favorite items.

Using CS2 Inspects

The cs2inspects.com website is a fantastic tool for inspecting skins with detailed information and custom features. Here’s how to use it:

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Visit cs2inspects.com

2. Load an Inspect Link
- Use the top bar on the website to paste your inspect link or select the skin you want to view.
- (Optional) Type in the Pattern ID and/or Float Value

3. Generate a !g Code
- Copy the generated !g code via the copy button or use the “Inspect in Server” button if signed in. This allows you to inspect the skin directly in-game.

4. Optional Customization
- The five boxes at the bottom correspond to stickers on the weapon. You can use the sticker customizer button to adjust their positions.
- Generate a !combo code to populate your primary, secondary, knife, and gloves at once in-game, and you can add a nickname before generating the code.
- Click the heart icon to favorite your craft for later if you are signed in.

Inspecting the skins in-game

1. Connect to a server
- Go to the server list on cs2inspects.com and click the "Connect" button underneath the map icons or "View Server List" to see all available servers and custom workshop maps.

2. Use the !g Code
- Once in-game, select your team, open the chat (not the console), and type the !g code or use the “Inspect in Server” button from the website.
- (Optional) Use !I inspectlink in chat to view any skin via the inspect link directly. This works for all items, including agents, custom crafts for guns, knives, and gloves.
