Genuine Bloodhound Pin

The Genuine Bloodhound Pin was originally obtained by redeeming a physical collectible pin code through Steam. Once redeemed, the code granted the in-game Genuine version tied to that pin design. Today, the main way to get one is by buying the redeemed in-game pin from the Steam Community Market or a third-party marketplace if it is tradeable and listed.

There are two forms people usually mean: the regular Bloodhound Pin and the Genuine Bloodhound Pin. The Genuine version came from redeeming a code included with a physical pin, while other pin variants were typically added through in-game offers or capsule-style releases depending on the era. For this specific item, “Genuine Bloodhound Pin” refers to the code-redeemed collectible version.

The Genuine Bloodhound Pin is a collectible display pin item in CS2, not a weapon skin, sticker, glove, or knife. It appears on your profile and inventory as a Genuine-quality pin themed around Operation Bloodhound. Its value comes from its collectible status and the limited way Genuine pins entered the game through physical pin redemption.

It is generally considered less common than standard in-game pins because Genuine pins required a physical purchase and code redemption. Rarity among genuine pins varies by production numbers, how many codes were redeemed, and how often owners still trade them. The Genuine Bloodhound Pin is collectible, but it is not usually cited as the single rarest genuine pin compared with scarcer event or limited-run pins.
