Frequently Asked Questions
The Global Offensive Badge is a collectible inventory item in CS2 that marks accounts which owned and played Counter-Strike: Global Offensive before the transition to Counter-Strike 2.

Yes, players often use “Global Offensive Badge” and “Loyalty Badge” to mean the same item in CS2. The badge refers to prior CS:GO ownership and was automatically added to qualifying accounts. In community discussions, both names are commonly used interchangeably.
