New CS2 Cases (The Latest Cases Released in CS2)

In this post

Cases in Counter-Strike 2 are needed for two main purposes. They are a common drop in the game, and Valve uses cases to reward players for their activities. Also, they’re a source of skins, for personal use and for trading.

The high popularity of new CS2 cases can be clearly explained by these purposes. Everyone is interested to know what drops to expect and what’s inside those containers. After the release, each new case can give you sought-after and expensive rare skins.

Before the hype declines and the market gets enough new offers, opening new cases in CS2 and selling items of high rarity can be especially profitable.

What Are CS2 Cases?

Counter-Strike cases are containers that give players one random skin upon opening. Skins in CS2 cases are divided into rarity categories: the drop rate for the best and most expensive items is rather low.

To open a CS2 case, you need to use special keys, which often cost more than the container itself. Considering this factor and a high probability of getting low-rarity skins, many players decide to sell their cases after getting them for free in the game.

At the same time, risks come with decent rewards. Traders purchase cheap cases, spend money on the keys, and one really good drop compensates for such investments.

Latest New CS2 Cases

The most attractive aspect of CS2 new cases is that they drop highly sought-after items. Time is needed for newer skins to fill the marketplaces with offers. During this period, selling rare drops is a profitable business.

In addition to this feature, there is an emotional hype in taking just-released Covert and Classified skin to CS2 matches. It draws attention, and generally feels good.

Sealed Genesis Terminal

It’s a unique CS2 skin container, as Sealed Genesis Terminal doesn’t require keys to be opened. Also, the drop mechanic is different: you receive an offer and can decline it a few times. Five offers are possible for one Genesis Terminal in Counter-Strike, instead of one final drop in usual cases.

Sealed Genesis Terminal has no CS2 knives or gloves.

Covert Skins

Classified Skins

Restricted Skins

Mil-Spec Skins

Fever Case

Among the new CS2 cases, this one is tightly connected to the Armory system. Only progressing through it can give you the Fever Case: it’s available for purchase for two Armory Credits.

The best possible drop from the Fever Case is AWP | Printstream. It belongs to the popular family of monochromatic Counter-Strike skins.

Knives

It’s one of the CS2 cases with knives. The available basic models and color schemes are listed below.

Skeleton, Survival, Nomad, and Paracord.
Tiger Tooth, Marble Fade, Doppler, Ultraviolet, Damascus Steel, and Rust Coat.

Gallery Case

As an Armory system case, this one received a splash of popularity after being removed from the in-game store. The Gallery Case itself became a target for traders and collectors.

The premise for this container is that skins in the Gallery Case are pieces of visual art. They are inspired by traditional printed media, like magazines and comics.

Knives

The only knife in Gallery Case is the Kukri, as the case was released soon after the knife’s introduction to Counter-Strike—in the Kilowatt case. Kukri Knife here comes with a few color skins.

Urban Masked, Case Hardened, Safari Mesh, Boreal Forest, Forest DDPAT, Slaughter, Crimson Web, Scorched, Blue Steel, Fade, Stained, Vanilla, and Night Stripe.

Kilowatt Case

The historical importance boosts the Kilowatt Case’s value. It’s the first-ever skin container released specifically in Counter-Strike 2. For such an occasion, Valve prepared two new items: a skin for the Zeus x27, and the Kukri Knife.

The Kilowatt Case also includes some of the best skins for the most popular rifles: AK-47 | Inheritance and M4A1-S | Black Lotus.

Knives

As the first CS2 case with Kukri Knife, Kilowatt includes only this model among exceedingly rare items. The color schemes are identical to those in the Gallery Case.

Urban Masked, Case Hardened, Safari Mesh, Boreal Forest, Forest DDPAT, Slaughter, Crimson Web, Scorched, Blue Steel, Fade, Stained, Vanilla, and Night Stripe.

Revolution Case

It’s the last skin container released during the lifespan of CS:GO. Revolution is among the most popular Counter-Strike cases, new and older, thanks to the bright colors and anime-inspired images of its skins. Even Restricted and Mil-Spec guns are visually remarkable.

Gloves

The Revolution Case is a source of CS2 Gloves. It drops some of the best models in the game.

Sport Gloves, Driver Gloves, Driver Gloves, Hydra Gloves, Hand Wraps, Specialist Gloves, and Moto Gloves.

Are New CS2 Cases Worth Opening?

There is a relatively short period in CS2 after the release of new cases, when skins from them are weirdly expensive. Such situations can be explained by the offer and demand principle: not so many cases are open, and the number of items for sale is limited.

If this happens, opening new cases can be more profitable than somewhat older ones. Financial success is still not guaranteed, though. Revenue comes from rare drops. There isn’t much hype around Mil-Spec skins, and new cases cost more when they are first released.

An advantage of opening new cases is that rarer skins cost more during the initial period after release.
A disadvantage is that you need to pay more for a new CS2 case, and the risk of getting lower-tier skins is as real as with any other container.

Beyond the money, opening new cases is worth it for creating a special atmosphere in the game. When you play Counter-Strike with freshly released skins, it’s like taking something awesome and iconic into your loadout. It may even boost your winning spirit!

CS2 Cases and the Skin Market

Each release of a case shakes the CS2 skins market. Everyone suddenly hunts for these containers, with the hope to earn big money in the initial period. Naturally, interest in older skins decreases.

The prices settle quite quickly, especially on lower-tier skins. Classified and Covert CS2 skins from new cases enjoy the hype for an extended period: till the market has enough offers.

Another side of this process is also important. With the addition of new cases, Valve often removes older ones from the Armory store and from the CS2 weekly drops. The market reacts accordingly: people try to buy these containers for trading purposes, and the prices go up.

How to Get New CS2 Cases

There is no special way to get new cases in CS2. In fact, fresh containers are more frequent in drops and current rewards. The hype around them is based on rare skins, not on new cases themselves.

Check out our guide on obtaining cases in Counter-Strike for more details. Here, we list the possible options and give advice on new cases.

In-game drops. New CS2 cases are added to weekly care packages, and you have a chance to get them after reaching new levels.
Armory rewards. Some cases, such as Fever and Gallery, are available for Armory Credits. You need to complete missions to earn this currency. The purchase of a CS2 Battle Pass is required.
Events or operations. Counter-Strike may have operations with drops. Valve usually releases special cases for such in-game events.
Market purchases. It’s the most reliable option for CS2 players and traders, as many people don’t want to buy keys even for new cases. They sell them, and if you are interested in high rewards from rare drops, just buy these containers.

Valve regularly releases new cases for CS2. For a short period, opening them for high-rarity skins can be profitable. The risk of receiving cheaper skins is as real as for any other case in Counter-Strike, and a new case usually costs more.

In addition to the profit, players open such containers to show off with new skins during their CS2 matches.

It’s also a clever idea to note if older cases were removed from drops with a game update. They can be good investments, too.
