The CSN:S Team

Greetings from the Counter-Strike Nexon: Studio Team!

We provide the rates for probability-based items on Steam and our website. In order to keep providing transparent service for our players, we're also releasing rates for the weapon enhancement system and season pass rewards below.

To begin, here is information on weapon enhancements and their rates.

Weapon enhancement is an in-game system that allows you to improve your weapons by enhancing them. Enhancement requires you to consume your spare weapons as "material" to upgrade the desired weapon. Both paid and free weapons can be spent using this system.

• Every enhancement attempt grants EXP towards your weapon's enhancement level. The EXP needed per level is listed in the first table below.
  
  
• Each material weapon grants a certain amount of EXP based on its rank and enhancement level. Formulas for how this EXP is calculated are included in the second table, with several examples after that.

EXP Needed per Enhancement

• Accumulated material EXP is reset after increasing enhancement level or failing enhancement.
  
  
• The success rates are calculated according to the below formula, based on the cumulative material EXP and the required enhancement EXP.
  
  Enhancement Success Rate = Cumulative Material EXP / Required Enhancement EXP
  
  
• Each weapon has a different enhancement material EXP per weapon rank, from Regular to Epic. This is defined in the next table.

Enhancement Material EXP per Weapon Rank/Enhancement Level

• If the material weapon is the same as the weapon you're enhancing, you'll get a 100% EXP bonus on top of the base enhancement EXP.

Example: Material EXP for Rare Weapon

• As illustrated above, materials with higher enhancement levels provide more EXP. Bonuses are rounded down to whole numbers.
  
  - Upon a successful enhancement, one attribute is increased at random. Every attribute has an equal chance of being selected.
  
  - The available attributes vary by weapon. You can see what attributes are available in the weapon's in-game description.
  
  - Once an attribute has been maxed out, it will be excluded from attribute selection.
  
  - When performing dehancement, one enhanced attribute is decreased at random. Every enhanced attribute has an equal chance of being selected.

We have also prepared a rate disclosure for the Season Random Box. This item can be obtained as a free reward from the Free Pass and as part of a paid season pass.

• When awarded as part of the Season Pass system, the Season Random Box will be used immediately upon obtaining.
  
  
• You will receive one of the following items. The chance of obtaining each is listed below.

Season Random Box Rates



Counter-Strike Nexon: Studio has been able to continue its service for the past 7 years thanks to your continuous support and affection.

In order to make our game even more transparent and trustworthy, we plan to perform an overall review of in-game terminology to see whether there has been any unclear communication in our probability-based content. We are also making preparations to implement a real-time probability monitoring system so that Survivors can check the rates.

Starting with this rate disclosure post, we will continue to work hard so that Counter-Strike Nexon: Studio earns even more of your trust.

Thank you.
