What the odds do not tell you
- Wear: the float of an unboxed skin is random within that skin’s float range, so a skin that only goes up to 0.08 always comes out Factory New or Minimal Wear.
- Value: the odds are the same everywhere, but prices are not. Whether a case is worth opening depends on the case and key price and on what its skins sell for: see best cases to open.
- Other containers: souvenir packages, sticker capsules and charm packs use their own odds; this page covers weapon cases.
- A cheaper path to a knife: a knife trade up (5 Coverts) gives a knife or gloves from the chosen case every time; the cheapest knife trade up page shows the current cost.
Rarity odds: Valve’s official figures, published in 2017 (as listed by esports.net); knife, glove and Covert counts from our case data, the same as the case simulators. Key price $2.49.
Related questions
What are the odds of getting a knife in CS2?
0.26% per case, or about 1 in 385 openings. That covers every knife and glove in the case; the chance of one specific knife finish is 0.26% divided by the number of knives and gloves in that case (see the table).
What are the CS2 case drop rates?
Mil-Spec 79.92%, Restricted 15.98%, Classified 3.2%, Covert 0.64% and a knife or gloves 0.26%. Valve published these odds in 2017; any item can also be StatTrak™ with a 1 in 10 chance (gloves never are).
How many cases do you need to open to get a knife?
On average 385, but there is no guarantee: after 385 openings the chance of at least one knife or gloves is about 63%, after 1,000 about 93%. At $2.49 per key, 385 keys alone cost about $959, before the cases themselves.
Are CS2 cases worth opening?
On average no: the expected value of an opening is below the case plus key price for almost every case. Our best cases to open page ranks every case by expected value at live prices.
Do all CS2 cases have the same odds?
Yes, the rarity odds are the same for every weapon case. What differs is how many skins share each rarity: a case with 5 Coverts gives each one a smaller share of the 0.64% than a case with 2.
