How to Get a Service Medal in CS2: A Simple Guide
In this simple guide I'll show you how to get a service medal in CS2. I've gone through the process myself, so I'll break it down for you step-by-step.
First, you need to play a lot of official game modes. This is the only way to earn XP and level up your CS2 profile. Keep playing until you reach rank 40, which is also called Global General.
Once you hit rank 40, you're ready to claim your service medal.
Here's what you have to do to claim your service medal:
- Click on your profile at the bottom middle of the screen.
- This will open a rectangle pop-up showing your ranks, pins, and profile info.
- At the top, you will see a button that says "Get Service Medal."
- Click that button to reset your profile rank and claim your medal.
Remember, getting a service medal doesn't affect your competitive skill group or Prime Matchmaking eligibility. It's just a cool display item to show off.
If you want to upgrade your medal, you can keep playing and reach rank 40 again. Each time you do this, you'll get a higher-tier medal.
That's all there is to it! Just keep playing, reach rank 40, and claim your reward. It takes time, but it's worth it to show off your dedication to CS2.
