Frequently Asked Questions
The 2018 Service Medal marks that a player reached Global General Rank 40 during the 2018 service year and chose to reset their profile rank. It is a profile collectible rather than a weapon skin, so it does not have wear, float, or gameplay impact. The medal serves as a record of time invested in official progression during that year.
Players originally earned the 2018 Service Medal by reaching Rank 40 in the 2018 service year and then claiming the medal through a rank reset. In CS2, it remains visible as a legacy collectible for accounts that earned it during CS:GO. It cannot be newly obtained now because service medals are tied to their original yearly availability.
Yes. Like other yearly Service Medals, the 2018 version had multiple upgrade tiers based on how many times a player reached Rank 40 and reset again within the same service year. Higher tiers changed the medal’s color and appearance, indicating repeated progression beyond the initial medal.
No. The 2018 Service Medal was only available during the 2018 service year, and players had to qualify for it during that period. In CS2, older service medals can still be displayed if they were already earned, but they are no longer obtainable after their year has ended.
