How To Get Cases in CS2? A Comprehensive Guide

Opening CS2 cases is a great way to add skins to your inventory in a fun way. The player never knows which skin will fall out of the case. The result can be pleasantly surprising since the case always contains valuable skins, the cost of which can cost hundreds of dollars, not to mention skins for knives and gloves. This article is about different ways to get cases in CS2.

Skin cases in CS2 are virtual containers that can contain various in-game items, including skins for firearms, melee weapons, and gloves. When a player purchases a key to open a case, they can unlock the container and receive a random skin. Each case includes a different number of skins. Some may have more minimalist skins, while others focus on colorful designs.

Choosing how to get cases in CS2 depends on your preferences, the time you are willing to spend, and your goals in the game. Let's look at the most popular ones.

The first, easiest way, which does not require any financial investment, is to receive a case for achievements in the game. In CS2, players can receive cases every week if they level up. The player is offered a choice of two out of four items - skins, a case, or graffiti.

Purchasing cases in CS2 is a direct and reliable way to get a specific case that interests you. Unlike random case drops at the end of gaming matches, when purchasing a case you can choose a specific case, which may contain skins that you find more valuable or interesting. This gives you more control over what you end up with. You can buy the case both on the Steam market and on third-party platforms.

A great way to get a case is by participating in events on Twitch. The first way is to participate in sweepstakes held by streamers. Many of them regularly give away cases with the opportunity to get interesting skins. To take part in such a drawing, you need to be a subscriber to the streamer and fulfill the conditions specified in the description of the drawing. The second way is to participate in campaigns and promotions conducted by game developers. They often organize various competitions where you can win cases with exclusive skins. 

If the result of dropping cases and winning cases from streamers is not under your control, then buying a case opens up more opportunities. Let's look at how to choose the right case for purchase.

Select skins

Different cases contain different skins. If you have specific skins that you like, check the contents of the cases and make sure that they at least include the items that interest you.

Rate the rarity of skins

Skins are divided into various rarities (Consumer, Industrial, Mil-Spec, Restricted, Classified, Covert, and others). Note that the rarity of skins affects the drop rate of more valuable items. For example, in cases of higher rarity, rare and legendary skins are more often found, but the probability of their drop is quite low.

Economic aspect

Analyze the market value of the skins included in the case. Some cases may provide more valuable skins, which can be interesting from an economic point of view, especially if you are involved in trading.

Estimation of demand for skins from the case

See which skins from the case are currently popular among players. Skins that are in demand may have a higher price.

New releases and collections

If you are interested in the latest skin releases or collections, check if there are recently released cases. They may contain unique and new skins.

This is a small but useful CS2 case-opening guide that will allow you to choose the right way to work with cases. In the world of CS2, it is possible to get a case both for free, by actively participating in the game and achieving results, and for a fee by purchasing the desired case on the Steam market or third-party platforms.
