XANTARES Steam Inventory

When CS2 (CS:GO) players think about countries with a long list of amazing players, Denmark is likely the first to pop into their heads. After all, Denmark has a total of 42 appearances on the “HLTV Top 20 Players of the Year” list. That’s 12 more than the second-place country. In fact, 7 out of the top 50 players on the list are from Denmark. That makes it very tough to be considered the single greatest player to ever come from that country.

Some countries aren’t well-known for their ability to pump out legendary CS2 players one after the other. This isn’t a knock on those countries. Not at all. However, it does raise a question we’d like you to consider. Would you rather be known as one of the greats from a country of greats or known as the greatest to ever come out of a country?

Today, we’re looking at a player that fits into the latter question. The country? Turkey. The player? XANTARES. Widely known for being the best Turkish player ever, he helps raise international awareness of Turkey’s esports scene and inspires the younger generation to pursue a career in esports. He’s so good; in fact, there’s actually a popular phrase in CS2 named after him: the XANTARES Peek. If you aren’t sure what that is, check this out.

Come along with us as we explore who XANTARES is, take a look at what he’s currently holding in the XANTARES steam inventory, and break down its value by the numbers. Let’s go!

Who is Håvard "XANTARES" Nygaard

Little did Håvard Nygaard know, he would one day become the greatest CS2 player to ever come from Turkey. He was born on August 7, 1995, in Istanbul. Rumor has it, XANTARES started playing CS2 at the age of 9. In 2013, XANTARES started his CS2 (CS:GO) career with team Hardware Arena as a rifler, specializing in entry fragging.

XANTARES has played for multiple teams throughout his career, including Hardware Arena, Space Soldiers, BIG, and Eternal Fire, where he is currently active. It wasn’t until joining Space Soldiers that XANTARES really made his mark on the international scene. A side note: XANTARES (CS:GO) CS2 is one of the rare players to co-found his own team, Eternal Fire.

His playstyle is characterized by his exceptional aim, aggressive rifling, and high APM, which makes for a very difficult entry fragger to deal with. One of the most amazing feats is that he has been playing at the pro level since 2013. That’s an impressive period, even for a pro. His achievements don’t necessarily reflect the impact he’s had on CS2. Here are a few:

  • 0 MVP Awards or spots on the HLTV Top 20 Player of the Year Rankings
  • made it to the New Legends Stage at ELEAGUE Major: Boston 2018
  • won DreamHack Open Austin 2018, cs_summit 6 Europe (2020), DreamHack Open Leipzig 2020
  • #1 world ranking during the online era in 2020

Don’t get it twisted. Though XANTARES’s resume isn’t quite as impressive as some legendary pros', he’s still a legend in his own right. And this may be one of the cases where a pro's inventory can stand toe to toe with their accomplishments.

Overview of XANTARES CS2 (CS:GO) Inventory

In a bit, we’ll take a detailed look at the XANTARES steam inventory. But for now, here’s a brief snapshot. You may notice that about 80% of his items are gun skins and graffiti.

  • Total items: 254
  • Gun Skins: 134
  • Knife Skins: 2
  • Gloves: 1
  • Graffiti: 64
  • Other Items: 53

One thing that you may notice is that XANTARES loves red. In fact, most of his top items are exactly that: the color red. A few other things stood out to us as well. Let’s take a look.

Key Items in XANTARES’s Inventory

With a value in the low 5 figures, it will come as no surprise that there are some really nice items in the XANTARES steam inventory. Of the 254 items, there are a couple that jump out. Here are some of the best:

Stickers and Collectibles

Unique and Rare Items

You may notice one pricey skin listed above. When we say pricey, we mean a 5-figure skin in itself. Let’s take a look at the specific numbers. What does a 5-figure skin look like in a 5-figure inventory in terms of percentages? Let’s see.

Market value of XANTARES’s Steam Inventory

In total, the 254 items are worth a bit more than $26,000. That’s at the time of writing and can change with the sale of any given item, more any item in the top 6 in the case of the XANTARES inventory. The most valuable XANTARES (CS:GO) CS2 skin is valued at around $11,500, with the cheapest item costing $0.03. Let’s break those items into categories:

  • 6 guns cost over $1,000, 1 of those 6 being worth over $10,000. That’s pretty significant in an inventory worth just $26,000.
  • only 2 items cost between $100 and $999.
  • 24 items cost between $1.00 and $99.99.
  • the remaining 222 items cost at less than $1.00.

XANTARES inventory is likely one of the least balanced inventories we’ve come across. You’ll understand what we mean by that by looking at the following percentages:

  • the most expensive skin is around 44% of the value of the entire XANTARES inventory. That is rather insane.
  • The top 6 skins in the XANTARES steam inventory are an astounding 94% of the value of the entire collection.
  • the rest of the 248 items account for about 6% of the inventory's value.

XANTARES, by far, has the most imbalanced inventories we've ever seen when it comes to the expensive: cheap skin value ratio. If that is even a thing. In other words, he has a few really expensive skins and a ton of cheap ones.
