The Bomb Code CS2 sticker price just increased by 2500% – here’s why

The Bomb Code CS2 sticker is a fairly average sticker, entering the game back in 2014 as part of Sticker Capsule 2. It’s a standard Paper sticker, and showcases the bomb code in CS2: 7355608. A fun reminder, but it wasn’t like you could actually put the sticker on the bomb itself.

As of last night, that all changed with the release of CS2 Sticker Slabs. These additions have caused the Bomb Code CS2 sticker to rise exponentially in price – around 2500% in fact. Here’s why.

Why has the Bomb Code CS2 sticker gone up in price?

CS2 Sticker Slabs allow players to encase their stickers in a big slab, and use them as charms instead of a sticker. Players can get the sticker back if they want, so it’s not a permanent change. This has particular implications for the Bomb Code CS2 sticker. Because charms can be placed on the bomb in CS2, there is now technically a way to put the bomb code sticker on the actual bomb itself. A very fun craft indeed.

Of course, the CS2 trading community has been very quick to react to this. Demand for the Bomb Code sticker has shot up, its price rising from around $0.50 to over $13 at the time of writing. For those keeping count, that’s an approximate 2500% increase, and it only looks to be going higher.

But will the Bomb Code CS2 sticker continue to rise long-term? Well, maybe. Hype for this new CS2 bomb sticker craft should stick around for a while, but ultimately, the current price increase is purely driven by early FOMO. But the fact that the Bomb Code sticker itself is over a decade old (and only getting rarer) means the price should be much higher than previous levels for a while. Whether it will eclipse these current prices remains to be seen.
