Music Kits
Music Kits are cosmetic items in Counter-Strike 2 that replace the default in-game music with custom tracks. They feature original compositions from various artists and musicians.
Overview
Music Kits replace all in-game music cues including the main menu theme, round start, round end, bomb planted, MVP anthem, and the ten-second warning. Each kit is a complete set of tracks that provides a cohesive audio experience.
How Music Kits Work
- Equip a Music Kit from your inventory
- All in-game music is replaced by the kit's tracks
- MVP Music — The round MVP's music kit anthem plays for all players in the server
- Music Kits are purely cosmetic — they do not affect gameplay
- Other players hear your MVP anthem when you are round MVP
