CTA has multiple types of cosmetics such as Gun camos, hats, instruments and heads that can be used for trading, fun or being collected like trophies.
They do not provide any advantages ingame and will only change the look of the player or what they hold.
The main and most used cosmetical items are "gun skins" or so called "gun camos", changing appearance of guns.
On CTA there are currently 14 different camos to chose from for each gun, each requiring you to first unlock them, except for the 5 rank related camos.
To choose a camo simply hold the gun you wish to camo and type
"/camo".
This will open a screen showing the available camos for the gun you are holding as well as show u the ones that you have unlocked.
You can unlock camos by buying cosmetic crates or voting 40 times per month giving you 1 cosmetic crate and thus 1 possible camo. You can also claim 1 camo type for all guns by completing the level ladder and claiming via there.
All camos from cosmetical crates vary in rarity, meaning some are harder to obtain or more common than others.
Its important to note that they will claim once you click with the right mouse button once, meaning they can be traded with players using the trade feature by doing "/trade playername" (just make sure to not claim them by accident).
You can not claim the same camo for the same weapon twice either.
Hats are a great way to customise your player character. They can be bought from npcs and found in event crates, which will have greater rarity however.

The current instruments on CTA are the guitar, the trumpet, harp, bat flute and many more! Guitars were one of the first cosmetical fun items to be optained during early beta testing. Instruments play a small melody when right clicking.
They can all be optained by opening special crates during events or be gained by reporting game breaking issues.
Heads can be collected from killed players with a low 5% drop rate (default). They are considered trophies and can sold to other players. They may be sold for varying prices between players, usually in correlation with publicity of the killed player or status, such as staff or known players.
Ranked players have a increased chance to get them from killed players.
Parachutes can also be equipped with a unique skin. Camos for this item can be unlocked exclusively via themed crates.
To equip them, use the cosmetics app on the phone.
