Nope, you can't use custom skins in competitive or official matchmaking. Valve's servers have strict rules against it to keep the playing field fair and square for everyone. So if you're thinking of sporting a custom skin in your next ranked match, think again!

Honestly, custom skins in CS:GO are a no-go for me. They're fun for screenshots or messing around offline, but they kinda defeat the purpose of earning those sweet, sweet official skins and showing them off in your collection.

Yes, custom skins are totally cool in CS:GO, but let's clear one thing up: You can't use them on official servers or in ranked matches. They're mainly for your personal viewing pleasure in private servers or offline matches where you've got the freedom to modify your game. So, while you can enjoy the creativity of custom skins, don't expect to show them off in your next competitive match!
