The weapon finish is a cosmetic texture variation of a digitally-rendered weapon available in the Valve-developed first-person shooter video-game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. These finishes can be acquired in-game or purchased, and have real-life, monetary value. Artists can create their own weapon finishes and submit these to Valve's own Steam Workshop, where submissions can be considered for inclusion in-game. This publication tackles the technical, practical and social aspect of weapon finishes in a presentable, sleek and simplistic format for artists alike - whether experienced designers with no knowledge of the game, or players surrounded by weapon finishes on a day-to-day basis and no prior design experience.
