The Most Expensive Cases in CS2

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.

1. 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 is $81.31.

2. Operation Bravo Case

The Operation Bravo Case was added to the game with the Operation Bravo update that launched back in September 2013. The case can drop 15 different Valve-made weapon skins as well as a bunch of knives, however, the rarity of the case itself is what makes it truly expensive.

During Operation Bravo, players who had the Operation Bravo pass had higher chances of receiving this case as a reward. Although the Operation Bravo Case can still drop, that chance has been very low ever since Operation Bravo ended.

The starting price of Operation Bravo Case is $49.68.

If you consider yourself a gamer, you are probably aware that some games feature immersive worlds and fun gameplay mechanics. So much so, we often find it difficult to stop playing and end up spending hours upon hours playing a single game. CS2 is one such game, however not all gamers have that much free time on their hands and need to experience their gaming sessions in short bursts. If you find yourself among such a crowd, then you might be interested in reading about the best modes for short sessions.

3. eSports 2013 Case

The eSports 2013 Case was the second case ever to be added to the game after the CS:GO Weapon Case back in August 2013 as part of the Arms Deal update.

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 eSports 2013 Case is $39.19.

6. Huntsman Weapon Case

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 $7.96.
