Inventory, Loadout, Shop, and Buy Menu are different screens. Mixing them up is why a gun can look owned and still be missing in a round.
What each screen is for
- Inventory shows cosmetic items you already have. The 30 June 2026 Nebula video shows this screen next to Loadout, Play, and Shop.
- Loadout chooses which stock or skinned weapon sits in a slot for a side.
- Shop or Store is where persistent cosmetic offers live. A code's Credits belong here, not in the round buy.
- Buy Menu, bound to B in that desktop keybind page, spends round cash during a buy phase.
How a recorded loadout swap worked
A 23 April 2026 public recording shows this desktop sequence:
- Open Loadout.
- Choose the side with EQUIP CT or EQUIP T.
- Find the weapon card in the lower list.
- Drag it into an upper category slot.
In that clip, Stock M4A4 was dragged into the CT Rifles column and replaced M4A1-S. Stock R8 Revolver replaced Dual Berettas in the Pistols column. AWP was already sitting in a Rifles slot in that same layout, with a Stock AWP card also in the lower list. If your layout differs, drag the stock card into the matching slot and read the name in the upper slot before you leave.
Using the gun in a round
During a valid buy phase, press B, find the equipped weapon, read the cash requirement on the button, and buy it if you can afford the team's plan. Fire was MouseButton1 in the official keybind recording. A failed buy means cash, side, mode, or round state, not a missing skin.
Names confirmed on the official inventory
Around the two-minute mark of the Nebula update, readable base labels included AK-47, AUG, FAMAS, Galil AR, M4A4, AWP, Desert Eagle, Dual Berettas, Five-SeveN, Glock-18, MAC-10, MP7, and MAG-7. That frame is not a full current buy list and it shows no prices.
A 6 October 2026 developer clip of AK-47 | Midas showed 30 rounds loaded during warmup and a Version 1.2.2 overlay. That is one HUD observation, not a reserve-ammo test and not proof that 1.2.2 is still the build after the 11 October listing update.
