Badges and Service medals are the classic trinkets that make Counter-Strike unique from other FPS titles. Previously, in CS:GO, the devs have provided so many Badges to the community that they stopped counting.

After releasing the new title from the franchise, they commemorate the players with a CS:GO music kit and a Global Offensive badge. Players must have owned the previous title of the Counter-Strike in order to get that badge.

There are a few steps by which you can get the badge:

1. If you are opening the game for the first time, then the badge and the music kit will appear as a pop-up on the menu.
2. If you missed it, navigate the menu and click on the Inventory option.
3. After entering the Inventory, you’ll find a golden Global Offensive badge. You can right-click on the badge, and you’ll get several options.
4. You can select “Inspect” to see the badge in-game or display this item on your profile.

According to the description of the Global Offensive badge, it commemorates loyal membership of the CS:GO community before Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) goes live. A quote is also there which says, “Legends never die.” The badge is golden with a red-colored T emblem on one side and a blue-colored CT logo on the other.

Previously, Counter-Strike devs have introduced us to the five and ten-year Service Medal. Since it’s the end of an era, and they are releasing a whole new game with different mechanics, they are offering the CS:GO players this shiny badge. We hope that CS2 will keep releasing these kinds of medals and badges in the near future and keep the community engaged.
