CS2 Dreams & Nightmares Case

The Dreams & Nightmares Case is one of the most iconic community-made cases in CS2. Originally launched in CS:GO, it features vibrant skins and rare knives that continue to attract both new and veteran players. Here’s a quick look at its value, drop odds, and prices.

What Is the Dreams & Nightmares Case?

The Dreams & Nightmares Case is a weapon container added to CS:GO on January 20, 2022, later reintroduced in CS2. Its contents were the result of a community design contest held by Valve. Over 15,000 skin submissions were sent in, and 17 were selected. Each winner received $100,000, giving this case deep community roots and prestige.

That’s the Dreams & Nightmares case release date — and since then, it’s become one of the most celebrated cases in the game.

Knives in the Dreams & Nightmares Case

  • Butterfly Knife 
  • Falchion Knife
  • Shadow Daggers
  • Bowie Knife
  • Huntsman Knife

How Much Is a Dreams & Nightmares Case Worth?

Currently, the case is priced at around $1.70 on the Steam Market. That’s a solid mid-tier price, especially considering its high-end knife pool. With over 8,000 listings and more than 40,000 buy orders starting at $1.55, it’s a highly liquid item that still gets lots of attention.

Why Is Dreams and Nightmares Case So Expensive?

The case continues to rise in value for three reasons:

  1. It contains exclusive Gamma Doppler knives that fetch thousands on the market.
  2. It features community-made skins, many of which are tournament-favorite aesthetics.
  3. The case is no longer actively dropping, so supply is limited while demand remains strong.

How to Open the Case

To unlock a Dreams & Nightmares Case, you’ll need a standard CS2 Case Key, which costs around $2.49. This isn’t a legacy key — it’s available both through the in-game store and the Steam Community Market.

The Dreams and Nightmares Case drop rate for a knife sits at roughly 1 in 391 — and for a Covert skin, around 1 in 156.
