A new Counter-Strike 2 update has left the community in shambles over skin prices and the entirety of Steam's marketplace crashing, as players scramble to sell their skins at high prices to avoid losing money – and others try to make cash.

The update, as detailed by Valve on the shooter's official Steam news page, has "extended functionality of the 'Trade Up Contract' to allow exchanging five items of Covert quality as follows: five StatTrak Covert items can be exchanged for one StatTrak Knife from a collection of one of the items provided, five regular Covert items can be exchanged for one regular Knife item or one regular Gloves item from a collection of one of the items provided."
