The Most Expensive CS:GO/CS2 Cases
Ever since their introduction in 2013, cases have slowly but surely become a large part of the Counter-Strike experience, providing players with the tools to express themselves and show off their unique skin collections. Fast forward to today, and skins have become a staple of the game. In fact, the CS2 skins economy has become so popular that many players out there consider them an investment.
Depending on the weapon skins and other cosmetic items that they may contain, as well as their rarity, different CS2 cases can be worth a lot of money. Knowing when you have something of great value is extremely important, so let’s take a closer look at the most expensive CS2 cases and the skins they may contain.
CS:GO Weapon Case
Starting things off, we have the CS:GO Weapon Case, one of the first cases ever added to the game just before the eSports 2013 Case. This particular case was introduced to the game with the Arms Deal update way back in August 2013 and can be obtained as a random drop after playing on any VAC-secure server.
The CS:GO Weapon Case is highly sought after due to it having numerous knives as potential drops as well as other popular weapon skins such as AWP | Lightning Strike and AK-47 | Case Hardened, both of which can be worth a lot of money.
The starting price of CS:GO Weapon Case on DMarket is $71.00.

This case is an extremely rare drop and contains fewer skins when compared to most other cases on this list, however, it can drop many iconic weapon skins such as AK-47 | Red Laminate and AWP | BOOM. It is also worth mentioning that part of the profits made by selling keys for this case was donated to the Counter-Strike eSports community.

The starting price of Operation Bravo Case on DMarket is $33.17.

The Huntsman Weapon Case is a fan favorite and is the second weapon case in CS:GO to feature community-crafted weapon skins. The case was put into the game on May 1st 2014 along with the Bank Collection and can contain the Huntsman Knife which is why it is extremely desired. However, that is not the only reason; another is that the case used to contain the controversial M4A4 | Howl.
Due to copyright issues, the Howl skin was removed from the case along with six other skins which were associated with the Howl creator. This caused the Huntsman Weapon Case to undergo a revision, resulting in six new skins being added to the case to replace those that were removed.
The starting price of Huntsman Weapon Case is $7.25.
