Sticker | The Lurker

The Lurker is a High Grade Paper sticker from the Team Roles Capsule. Its circular purple-and-white badge features purple footprints, pink skulls, and lettering around the edge. It suits players building purple-themed crafts and collectors who prefer standalone artwork over team branding.

Description

The Lurker is a High Grade CS2 sticker with a flat Paper finish. Purple footprints sit in the white center of its circular badge. White lettering spells "CERTIFIED" across the top and "LURKER" along the bottom. Small pink skulls, white dots, and white outline rings complete the lightly mottled purple design. Its standalone artwork suits players who prefer a role-themed badge rather than team or player branding. The sticker can be applied to any weapon skin. Scraping progressively wears the applied design, eventually removing it permanently.

The Lurker was released on December 11, 2015. Its arrival was part of the "Revolver Case Skins" update. The sticker debuted in the Team Roles Capsule. ThePolymath created the artwork as a Steam Workshop community designer. The release introduced a standalone design rather than a team or player sticker.
