Since weapon skin cases were added to Counter-Strike in 2013, an incredible number of cases have been opened. In this article, we'll explain how to view your own case-opening statistics in CS2.

What Are Cases in CS2?

Cases in CS2 are in-game chests containing various weapon skins and other cosmetic items (such as knives and gloves). They attract players by offering the chance to obtain rare and unique skins, which not only enhance the appearance of weapons but can also hold significant market value. Cases can drop as rewards for weekly in-game experience and are also available for purchase on the Steam marketplace.

To open a case, a player needs a special key, which can be bought in the CS2 game store. After purchasing a key and opening the case, the player receives a random item from the available list, ranging from common skins to extremely rare ones. Case opening has become a popular element in CS2, and a whole economy has been built around skins within the fan community. Moreover, this trading tool among players is incredibly popular.

Is It Worth Opening Cases in CS2?

Whether to open cases in CS2 depends on the player’s goals and expectations. If you enjoy the thrill and the chance of getting a rare skin, opening cases can be exciting. However, keep in mind that the odds of obtaining valuable or rare items are quite low, and most players end up with common skins that don’t cover the cost of the case and key.

From a financial perspective, opening cases rarely justifies the investment, as the price of a case and key often exceeds the value of most skins obtained. If your goal is to get a specific skin, it might sometimes be wiser to buy it directly on the marketplace instead of relying on luck. On the other hand, for those who enjoy the element of surprise, opening cases can be enjoyable and add interest to the game.

It’s important to remember that the probability of obtaining rare items is generally low, and a player may need to open many cases before getting something valuable. Nevertheless, for many, it’s a fun activity and a way to diversify the gaming experience, even if the process is entirely random.
