Upon reaching this rank, players are given the opportunity to reset their profile and claim the CS2 2025 service medal. This guide will go over the process in detail, explain the significance of the service medal, and give you advice on how to maximize your XP gain. Either you\u2019re an experienced player or new to CS2, our guide will help you earn and upgrade your CS2 service medal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Are Service Medals in CS2?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Service medals in CS2 are symbolic rewards that honor a player\u2019s dedication, time investment, and skill level in the game. These medals are granted when a player reaches Rank 40 (Global General) and opts to reset their profile rank. Each service medal has a distinct design for the year it is earned, and players can upgrade their medals by resetting their profile several times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The service medal is a visual depiction of a player\u2019s progression in CS2 that can be seen on their profile. There is a tremendous motivation to earn these medals each year because once one year\u2019s medal is gone, it cannot be obtained again. The constant grind and rank reset system allows players to progress to higher levels of the service medal, with each tier represented by a distinct color.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-96784\" src=\"https:\/\/skin.club\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/What-Are-Service-Medals-in-CS2.jpg\" alt=\"What Are Service Medals in CS2?\" width=\"940\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/What-Are-Service-Medals-in-CS2.jpg 940w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/What-Are-Service-Medals-in-CS2-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/What-Are-Service-Medals-in-CS2-768x392.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>CS2 Service Medal Colors and Tiers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CS2 service medal system consists of six color-coded tiers.
