CSGO Cases in CS2 – Official Weapon Case Guide

CSGO cases, now opened directly inside CS2, are the official way to unlock community-crafted weapon finishes through the Steam ecosystem. Built on trusted systems, cases celebrate creative skins, clear rarity tiers, and secure ownership backed by Steam Inventory and the Steam Community Market. Whether you play daily or collect selectively, CSGO cases deliver an authentic path to cosmetic progression inside Counter-Strike.

What are weapon cases?

Weapon cases are consumable containers that include a curated set of finishes for specific weapons. Each case is tied to a defined collection created by Valve and community artists. When opened, a single item from the case’s collection is granted to your inventory, following established rarity tiers and with a chance for StatTrak variants.

Availability and key requirements

CSGO cases can appear as in-game drops and are widely available on the Steam Community Market. To open, most weapon cases require a matching key purchased through the CS2 client using your Steam Wallet. Keys are case-specific and are provided only via the official in-game purchase flow. Once opened, the case is consumed and the revealed item is permanently added to your inventory.

Contents: community finishes, StatTrak, rarity tiers

Every case features finishes authored by community creators and Valve. Items follow the known rarity taxonomy used for weapon cases: Mil-Spec (Blue), Restricted (Purple), Classified (Pink), and Covert (Red). Select drops may appear as StatTrak variants, which track official kill counts when equipped. StatTrak is available on many weapons and some knives; gloves do not include StatTrak.

Exceedingly Rare Special Items

Each weapon case includes an Exceedingly Rare Special Item (the gold tier). Depending on the case, this may include a knife or gloves. These items represent the rarest outcomes available when opening CSGO cases and are highly sought after by collectors.

How to open a case in CS2

1. Launch CS2 and open your Inventory.
2. Select a case from the Cases tab.
3. Choose Open; purchase the matching key if prompted.
4. Confirm to proceed with the opening animation.
5. The revealed item is added to your Steam Inventory.

Trading on the Steam Community Market

Steam provides a secure marketplace to buy and sell CSGO cases and the items you unlock. Listings use real-time supply and demand; prices may fluctuate. Transactions settle in Steam Wallet funds, and applicable fees are shown before you confirm. Item availability or hold durations can vary based on account security settings.

Security and legitimacy

Open CSGO cases only through the CS2 client and purchase keys in-game. Avoid third-party key or case-opening services. Keep Steam Guard enabled, confirm trades, and never move items off Steam at someone’s request. The official flow preserves item provenance and helps protect your collection.
