OVERPAY E24PC (Second Edition)
equivalent to E44DC Revision 2 (Fourth Digital Edition, 4th October 2022)

"The Definitive Guide on the Weapon Finish is the most comprehensive compendium on all things creative on weapon finishes, featuring more than 145 pages of text, illustrations and imagery to guide the reader to a better understanding of the art medium."

Download the Digital Edition for free on the official OVERPAY website: https://overpay.guide.

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.
