Cosmetics don’t go anywhere. No matter how attractive it is, Don’t forget that these games are completely optional to enjoy. Again, they look amazing.
10 Rocket League
Pinn your ride
It’s not surprising that in a game where you play soccer with essentially rocket boost cars, there is an entire cosmetics market Rocket LeagueToppers, Booster Trail, Goal Explosion, etc. This free game boasts a wide range of sparkling sparkles to make your car look great.
Given how easy it is to get into the game and how addictive the gameplay loop is, you’ll want to show off your skills while scoring goals that trigger colorful explosions while fully equipped with the most brilliant decals and unique effects.
Many free-to-play games typically feature player-to-play transactions. This allows friends to trade cool cosmetics, trade with strangers, and help the Rocket League player base flourish. Unfortunately, in 2023, trading capabilities were removed to better align with Epic Games’ Item Shop business model.
Naturally, this has disrupted many fans who once thriving in the market, and the only way to expand their recent cosmetic collection is to buy credits through the game store or earn credits through Rocket Pass rewards.
Still, the best skin tends to come from crossover collaborations including Light McQueen from carBatmobiles, and even real-life brand cars.

Bend the painted AK-47
Valve’s multiplayer games are best known for their trading features. Counter Strike 2 It’s no exception. It was previously known Counter Strike: Global Attack Until 2023, CS2 He is famous for his players who collect and trade pearlescent guns and gold-plated carambits.
Weapon skins can come from a variety of paths, from cases, weekly drops, or rewards earned. However, veterans Counter Strike Players will instruct them to focus on trading instead.
Factors to enter CS2 The rarity of weapon skins makes the transaction extremely complicated as its rarity depends on its pattern, hidden value, and even the wear of the weapon. The rarity of certain items makes them worth up to thousands of dollars on the market.
Some players are trying to use it CS2 The weapon peels off as a means of investment, hoping that the cosmetics you currently have will one day rise or prevent the skin from depreciating. Not only that, there are sites that specialize in managing trade transactions between players.
I understand the appeal of replacing weapon skins, but the amount of slippery dic that goes into it is confusing.

7 The Legend of the Pillar
Dress up your legend
Definitely, The Legend of the Pillar It’s one of the sweatiest battle royale games I’ve ever played.

I’ll replace the strange hat
It’s very similar Counter Strike 2, Team Fortress 2 It has a functional economy through the trade and collection of cosmetics. largely TF2 Players will exchange items using currencies such as sophisticated metal, Man Company supply boxes, and earphones.

But all of these may be alien to many new people TF2 Player. I remember changing my hats at the steam market when I was in middle school. At 14, I had unnecessarily claimed that my unusual hat was worth more than the buyers had offered.
It’s been almost ten years since I last played or traded TF2So, imagine my surprise and shock, I learn that most of today’s transactions are made through the tinsel websites inhabited by bots trying to low you with cheap deals.
5 Marvel Rival
Ah, no, they’re all hot!
Because it is a third person shooting game, Marvel Rival In contrast to other hero shooters, selling cosmetics already has advantages. Not only can you see your arms and weapons, but you can always see the characters.
It’s natural to assume that, thanks to the fact that Marvel characters have had countless costume changes and variations throughout decades of runtime Marvel Rival There is an undeveloped market for each character’s cosmetics.
You can earn all skins in the game by acquiring in-game currency through challenges and achievements while participating in limited events. But if you want to hurry up and get that wonderful thing Deadpool x Wolverine In the Logan’s Outfit version, you can purchase the lattice with real money and convert it to Chrono-Tokens and units.
Thankfully, Netease not only releases the game’s original skins, but also uses monetization wisely. Accurately depict (or improve) the costumes seen in MCU movies, other video games, and even relatively vague comic book references. That will surprise you.
4 Destiny 2
Slei (your enemy)
meanwhile Destiny 2 There is extensive endgame content in the form of raids, dungeons, Grandmaster Nightfalls and competitive PVPs. Many parents, including myself, believe fashion is the ultimate goal of the game. Because it is a true expression of Guardian creativity.
Despite the initial resistance and prolonged resentment of Bungee’s decision to do Bungee’s microtransaction to make a permanent addition in 2015, I’ll admit that it has brought some really cool cosmetics to enhance the power fantasy of surprise yours while killing the minions of the dark.
Not only that, there were some well-received skins and other cosmetics drawn directly from other IPs. Very recently collaborated with Star Wars We released three skins and emo in Lightsaber Action.
Thanks to Universal’s ornaments and shaders, you can fully customize your Guardian with a wide range of creativity, from cosplay characters like Gundian and Spider-Man to the presence of all the colours mismatched and the most frighteningly looking Guardians.

Once you’ve completed almost everything in the game, you’ll ultimately worry about your IV rather than completing weekly featured raids and challenges.
3 Warframe
Fashion frames as art
As a long time destiny Fans, I’m embarrassed to admit that there is one game that has better customization destinythat’s true Warframe.Boasting nearly 100 unique frames including Prime. Warframe You can customize almost every part of the character.
With comprehensive slider options and moving fragments for weapons and armor, that’s not too surprising Warframe Similar to destiny Which community sees fashion as a true endgame.
There are many ways to show off your eyes creatively for fashion Warframe. Some of the R/Warframerunways turn them into stunning etheric gods to see their war frames, or even sophisticated murder machines with minimalist designs.
Like most free-to-play games, Warframe It has the advantage of crushing cosmetics and making them accessible to most players. This is because limited events may return with discount deals a few months after they are featured.
Not only can players provide gameplay benefits, they can also spend hours crafting prime versions of war frames and weapons to make the design look much cooler.
2 League of Legends
Amazing skins with stunning splash art
League of Legends It is notorious in the highly competitive esports scene, and spin-off shows Mysteriousand most importantly, its beautifully designed skin, with the equally beautiful splash art that comes with them.
Most of these skins are interconnected with other champions, like the famous KDA skins. Champions Akali, Evelyn, Ahri and Kai’sa form a KPOP group of the same name, creating amazing music in the real world. Other skins like Project Skins and Star Guardians also feature versions of various universe champions that adapt to a completely different world.

1 Fortnite
The King of Collaboration
If there is one game that sets most cosmetic records, it is Fortnite. And it’s not just about quantity. Because all the skin seems to be painstakingly made to reflect the pieces and V-Bucks needed to get them, some of the gliders are just absolutely bad to see. In other words, look at the glider on the stairs radiated by the aura.
I’m particularly drawn to the design of the skin of the characters. Fortniteas The original design is not only a masterclass of character design and silhouettes, but collaboration and celebrity skins appear to belong to the Fortnite world How original designs and costumes are translated into the game.
Take one of the latest popular skins to be featured, Hatsun Miku. She fits Fortnite Because it is almost acceptable that Miku can exist everywhere, and it still makes sense. How good is it to win a victory royal over Mikubeam?
The celebrity cameo skins aren’t even tattered either, as American singer Mariah Carey has somehow won it at the Winterfest 2024 event as an endorsement of her deification as the ubiquitous patron saint of Christmas.
Fortnite We are constantly expanding our catalog of IP crossovers and celebrity cameos, showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. After all, showing your faces and characters you create in the Battle Royale game seems like a pretty good way to measure your level of success.
