Computer games have long become a lucrative business. In their quest to earn as much money as possible, computer game developers are coming up with new ways of voluntary-forced payments. The popular eSports game CS GO has rightfully earned dubious fame among most people. In addition to the fact that the project itself costs money, the player can purchase a skin for weapons. For example, hydroponics AK-47.
Money down the drain
Weapon skins are one of the most controversial things that have ever been used in online games. Skin is the same weapon, with only a little reteksturing. Yes, it's just a coloring, nothing more. People who are far from computer games hardly believe that some kind of coloring can cost 100,000 rubles!
Hydroponics AK-47 is one of the most popular skins in the game. The best quality option costs about 13,000 rubles, and the cheapest - about 1,500. It's hard to believe, but it really is. All skins are not free, you can either purchase them on the trading floor or win in the gambling lottery. Lotteries are tempting, because there you can get a skin for little money. Good luck can smile, and the gamer will get a coloring for weapons with a total cost of up to 200,000 rubles! However, this is rare. In pursuit of expensive prizes, players spend thousands of dollars and get virtually nothing. The situation is completely similar to ordinary casinos. Playing the lottery is addictive and inspires hope, forcing the gamer to try to win the coveted prize over and over again.
A player who buys AK-47 Hydroponics skin receives nothing but coloring. He does not get any advantages in the game. The ability to play is impossible to buy. Any skins are impractical; investing in them is unprofitable. Of course, the domestic market for skins is very stable, and there are not so many expensive ones. Owners are in no hurry to sell them. Demand far exceeds supply.
13,000 rubles for hemp
The skin feature of AK-47 hydroponics is its appearance. Primary colors are white and green. The gas pipe, front sight and sight are painted green. He is gradually present on other parts of the machine. The receiver is painted white, and the image of the leaves of a plant is printed on it.
The official description indicates that it is bamboo. It is also curious that the cost of the skin exceeds the cost of a whole hemp bush, which is allowed for cultivation and cultivation in some states of the USA and Canada. This gave the skin such a name. In Russia and many other countries, the cultivation of hemp is illegal.
Categories
All skins in Counter Strike have several quality categories. Depending on which category they fall into, the price also changes. The following categories exist:
- straight from the factory;
- slightly used;
- after field tests;
- well-worn;
- battle hardened
Weapons from the factory are the most expensive, and from the battlefield the cheapest. The price varies greatly, and the difference can reach 70,000 rubles. The worse the quality, the worse the appearance of the weapon.
Which skin to choose?
In KS: GO, AK-47 hydroponics is considered an affordable skin. If you want to get rid of excess money in your wallet, you can buy factory weapons, but if there is little money, but they still interfere, you can take battle-hardened. More expensive skins will allow you to get rid of large sums of money. In addition, their value varies depending on the currency market. Of course, you can invest and then sell it profitably, but not everyone succeeds.
