There is no doubt that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is among the most incredible video games in the industry, with some seriously unique features. One of the most famous and demanded features is its cases. You’ve probably seen many gaming vloggers who go wild to unbox knives and expensive skins. Currently, these cases are pretty affordable in general, and many of them will cost you no more than a buck, giving you a chance to upgrade skins from your inventory without breaking the bank. However, sometimes cases can be a bit like a risk. It’s because the odds can’t always be in your favor, and some cases take the common “high risk, high reward” thing to a whole new level. That’s why we are here today to explore the most exclusive items you can find in the top popular cases in CS:GO. Let’s go!
#1 The Huntsman Weapon Case
This case was released on 2014 May 1 and came out as part of the “The Hunt Begins” update. The Huntsman Weapon Case is the second case created by the community – it comes with 22 cool weapon skins made by players on Steam.
Interestingly, this case was updated on 2014 June 11 due to copyright issues. Specifically, authors made big changes to the M4A4 – Howl Skin, which has become a formidable item since then. In addition, five other skins that were connected to the M4A4 – Howl’s creator were also removed.
This update added six new skins to replace the removed ones. But you can still get the removed skins through trade contracts, except for the M4A4 – Howl.
#2 CS:GO Weapon Case
Our next case with the most impressive CS:GO items belongs to the CS:GO Weapon Case. And that’s not without a reason! Even though the list of skins in this case is quite limited, the ones that exist are attention-grabbing.
We’re talking about such popular items as the eye-catching Desert Eagle Hypnotic, the M4A1-S or USP-S with the Dark Water design, and the most beloved AWP Lightning Strike. This last one has received much attention from the gaming community since the discussions about CS2 began, and the potential for an improved red beauty has appeared.
But the impressive items in this case don’t stop here! There is also the legendary AK-47 Case Hardened, a unique finding. It comes with only a few pattern IDs that make it one of the most valuable skins ever in the history of CS:GO.
One pattern worth attention is ID “661”, also known as #1 Pattern or Scar Pattern, which can have a five or even six-digit price tag. And so is the most favored item among pro collectors.
#3 Operation Bravo Case
The next case in our list goes way back to 2014, as it came into the game during Operation Bravo. Since then, it has successfully become one of the CS: GO industry’s most “wanted” cases.
It is recognizable due to its unique design and colors – it comes with a bold orange stripe on the side. However, what makes this case popular are not the design and colors at all. Instead, it features pretty impressive and expensive skins, like the AK-47 Fire Serpent and the AWP Graphite.
#4 Esports 2013 Case
This case is the first one in the eSports series and comes with a unique approach to design. It features a futuristic briefcase look instead of the usual yellow container, each with its own color.
Some skins worth mentioning cover
- AK-47 Red Laminate,
- P90 Death by Kitty,
- and M4A4 Faded Zebra.
What’s notable is that the most expensive skin on the Esports 2013 case is actually way cheaper than the top drop in the Hydra case. However, let’s also not forget the fact the Esports case cost almost three times more.
#5 CS:GO Weapon Case 2
The last case in our top list is the CS:GO Weapon Case 2. It is among the few rare cases that come with a black design and typically are not opened too often. However, this option offers you some precious and helpful skins.
The top item of this case is the SSG08 “Blood in the Water,” a classic skin many gamers prefer to have. Although its StatTrak Factory New version isn’t as expensive as some other cases on our list, it is pretty affordable at just $2.87.
The affordability makes the CS:GO case price-to-top earnings ratio better than a few others. However, compared to other skins, they have little value because of the case’s low price. Even the next best pink skin, which is the second-rarest type, is only $40 at most.
Let’s Make Wise Choices
After checking out the mentioned cases, you can see that they are not commonly affordable. For example, acquiring four Operation Bravo Cases and their keys can cost you over 100 dollars. Thus, even though opening cases at various case opening sites can feel exciting, managing your money wisely is vital.
All players out there dream of getting the top prize; however, the actual chances are quite slim. So, just be mindful of that. Regarding items and in-game features, it’s much better to control yourself and not go overboard.
Sure, we try to own all the cool stuff in a game, but before doing that, make sure your spending is in control. Only then can you fully relax and have some fun.
