Dreams and Nightmares

Among the cases that are included in the list of active drops, the most popular remains Dreams and Nightmares. He appeared in the game in 2022. The skins included in it with surreal and bright designs are in constant demand. Not counting knives, the most expensive skin from this case is the AK-47 | Nightwish, decorated with the image of a monster against a background of psychedelic patterns. Other popular skins from Dreams and Nightmares include the black and orange MP7 Abyssal Apparition, the bright MP9 | Starlight Protector, and the unique PP-Bizon | Space Cat.

Revolution

Another new case took second place in popularity. Revolution was added in February 2023 and has collected quite a few unusual designs. The most expensive of them is the M4A4 | Temukau, designed in Japanese style and reminiscent of the famous, but much more difficult to obtain Akihabara Accept. If you like contrasting color combinations, the likelihood of getting something worthwhile from this case is very high. This could be, for example, P2000 | Wicked Sick or UMP-45 | Wild Child.

Fracture

Fracture Case took third place among cases from the active drop. It has been in the game since 2020 and includes skins such as MAG-7 | Monster Call and AK-47 | Legion of Anubis. And the most expensive item from this case, besides knives, remains the minimalistic Desert Eagle | Prinstream, which is part of the famous series of skins.

Anubis Collection

In the case of Anubis Collection, Valve changed the distribution model. Unlike the previous ones, you don’t need a key to open this case - you just need to purchase the corresponding set of skins directly through the main menu of the game. All the designs included in this collection are inspired by the theme of Ancient Egypt and the Anubis map. Ancient treasures, golden ornaments, the waters of the Nile, and mysterious ruins – the skins from this set can be designed in a variety of ways. The most expensive of them remains the M4A4 Eye of Horus, but the cheaper skins also look very impressive.

Clutch

This wonderful case appeared in the game in 2018. It includes many bright skins with unusual designs. The most expensive skin besides the gloves is M4A4 | Neo-Noir. The skin's design is made in the style of neo-noir comics. Its main feature is the image of a girl with a sword behind her back. The skin is made in shades of pink, purple, and blue. Among the valuable skins in warm brown shades with Classified rarity, we can note AWP | Mortis and AUG | Stymphalian.

Prisma 2

This wonderful case with very extravagant skins appeared in the game at the end of March 2020. In addition to expensive knives, players have a chance to receive an M4A1-S | Player Two, the most valuable weapon skin with Covert rarity. Other skins with a recognizable design that are popular among players include Glock-18 | Bullet Queen, MAG-7 | Justice, and SSG 08 | Fever Dream. For AWP owners, the case contains a wonderful minimalistic Capillary skin, and for Desert Eagle owners - Blue Ply. By the way, the last skin, like many others, is in the inventory of the player Oleksandr "?s1mple" Kostyliev from Navi.

The Most Expensive Skin in CS2

When discussing the most expensive skins in CS2, many players might name knives with rare patterns or items that remain limited on the market, such as the AWP Dragon Lore or M4A4 Howl. But recently, the list of incredibly expensive skins was replenished with another, truly unique one: we are talking about a unique variety of AK-47 | Case Hardened with pattern index 661. It first appeared on one of the trading platforms in mid-January 2024, and its cost can reach 1 million dollars.

What Is The Probability of Getting an AK-47 | Case Hardened?

The AK-47 | Case Hardened skin was added to the game back in 2013. The pattern index affects its coloring, which means there are a thousand possible options. It turns out that the probability of getting a specific type of skin is 1 in 21 million:

• According to information about skin drop probabilities, the chance of getting an AK-47 Case Hardened is 1.585%.
• There is a 10% chance it may have a StatTrak counter.
• Since there are only a thousand pattern indexes, the probability of getting one of them is 0.1%.
• The possible float range from 0 to 1.00 gives a 3% chance of the skin dropping in Factory New quality.

Taking into account all these probabilities, we get that the chance of getting a new AK-47 | Case Hardened (#661) with a StatTrak counter and in perfect quality is 0.000004755% It is not surprising that during the entire existence of the game, such a skin did not drop until 2024 once, considering that there are not very many copies of the CS:GO Weapon Case on the market.

However, it is not known exactly how the owner of the rare skin received it. Perhaps this did not happen as a result of opening a case but through a Trade-Up contract. However, even in this case, the probability is low, and the exchange will require significant investments. By correctly selecting the initial skins, you can guarantee the presence of a StatTrak counter and a float value, but the occurrence of the desired pattern index is still a matter of chance.

By the way, the AK-47 | Case Hardened skin is included in the CS:GO Weapon Case.
