This year also saw the addition of several new and exciting cases, especially via the Armory Update, so here are our current picks. Table of contentsThe best CS2 cases to open in 2024How to get cases in\u00a0CS2Which CS2 case should you open based on odds?What are the chances of getting a knife in CS2? The best CS2 cases to open in 2024 1) Dreams & Nightmares Case The Dreams & Nightmares Case in CS2 contains 17 community designs and was released on Jan. 20, 2022. It features many colorful and exciting skins, with even its lower rarity ones carrying striking looks, such as the MAC-10 Ensnared. The crown jewel of the case is certainly the AK-47 Nightwish (well, apart from all the knives you can get), and the skin carries its own legendary tale as it was unboxed live during a CS:GO Major in the summer of 2022 with the crowd going understandably wild.

This loot box contains 17 community-designed weapon finishes and is currently one of the most popular cases in all of Counter-Strike. It's cheap and has fantastic skins, most notably the USP-S Prinstream, of which even in the Minimal Wear form can net you a few dozen dollars at the least, while its higher rarities and iterations can go into the hundreds. Many players love buying the Recoil Case in bulk as it is very competitively priced compared to other cases on this list and otherwise. The release of CS2 didn't help either as more and more cases keep rising in prices, with some eclipsing the price of keys altogether.

Screenshots by Dot Esports 3) Operation Riptide Case Back when Valve was still doing Operations, they dropped one of the most exciting events in CS:GO in 2021, Operation Riptide, which, following the tradition of other events, had its own case to boot. It contains over a dozen skins, all featuring wild and colorful designs, though they're all quite rare, and you won't see many players sporting them in matches, which might be a draw for collectors. Having been released as part of an Operation event years ago, the case has slowly risen in price since then, fetching up to seven bucks on a good day with the potential to keep growing. That being said, the rarer skins contained within are also quite pricey and rare, making this case quite lucrative and attractive.

Screenshots by Dot Esports 4) Chroma 3 Case The Chroma 3 Case in CS2 was added to the franchise in April 2016. All of the skins are bright and colorful, with Chantico's Fire certainly standing out as one of the best M4A1-S skins in the entire game. While the Legend of Anubis skin is for an incredibly underused gun, the skin had some legs on the market. As far as red skins go, the price pales in comparison to AK or AWP cosmetics, but it's still relatively expensive.

Screenshots by Dot Esports 5) Operation Broken Fang Case Each operation introduces unique skins that rival the previous releases. Operation Broken Fang was no different, and its case added a bunch of colorful skins to\u00a0CS2. In addition to multiple valuable drops with excellent looks, it's the Gloves that separate this case from the rest. As one of the best CS2 cases, it features both a high-level USP-S and Glock-18 skin, which are rare finds to begin with. The Broken Fang case also hosts an incredibly clean M4A1-S skin. I personally can't go past a Printstream skin, and if you're a fan of the USP-S Printstream, you'll be able to add this to your collection if you seek out the Broken Fang case.

Screenshots by Dot Esports 6) Revolution Case The Revolution Case is a 2023 addition to CS2's skin library. It's one of the best CS2 cases to open since it's one of the rare ones that feature skins for all the most popular weapons in the game: The AK-47, M4A4, M4A1-S, and AWP. While almost all cases in CS2 feature at least one skin for the big four, it's a unique occurrence to have a case that has a skin for all of them. The Revolution Case also tops it off with a high return on investment rate since most of the skins inside it will be worth more than its unlocking costs, making it a solid choice for players who'd like to get their money's worth from a case.

Screenshots by Dot Esports 7) Gamma Case The Gamma Case features detailed skins that laid the foundation of some of the most incredible skins to hit the Steam market. Some of the textures included in the case resemble professional street art and give you a gangsta look in the game. The Mecha Industries sits alongside the Printstream as the cleanest skins in CS2. You can add the Wasteland Rebel skin to match your AK-47 Wasteland Rebel, making your T kit the sharpest on the server.

Screenshots by Dot Esports 8) Prisma Case Having launched in 2019, one would expect the skins in this to be a bit grittier, but that couldn't be further from the truth. The Prisma Case contains some of the most well-designed skins in the game, and no matter what you get, you'll be content with its looks (if you can get over the monetary losses, that is). With such good designs, it's no wonder the Prisma Case has one of the most popular skins in the game, the M4A4 Emperor. Even on the lower end, there are a few highly popular Prisma skins, including the Uncharted AK-47 and AWP Atheris.

Screenshots by Dot Esports 9) Clutch Case The Clutch Case includes some of the best skins with a darker color range. The pink USP-S skin is the only exception to its theme. It\u2019s also one of the few cases that offer a pair of gloves instead of a knife skin. The Neo-Noir sits atop the skins in the Clutch Case for good reason It's an incredibly well-designed skin, providing several different patterns without being overwhelming on the eyes. I also tried to get the worst possible R8 Revolver Grip in CS2. I would advise against this, as you'll never use the R8\u2014unless you're trolling.

Screenshots by Dot Esports 10) Gallery Case The Gallery Case was added to Counter-Strike 2 with the massive (and controversial) Armory Update, which sought to expand the cosmetic side of the game, which Valve seems to care the most about. It contains 17 community-made skins, all of which are bright, visually appealing, highly stylized, and overall just well-made. For those seeking high-quality skins for their main weapons, those being the two M4s and the AK, the Gallery Case has them all, especially in the M4A1-S and AK-47 departments with the downright amazing Vaporwave and The Outsiders respective skins. The Glock also stands out here with the Gold Toof, which is probably the best skin for it available at the moment.

And then the developers just dropped a case and called it a day, which didn't sit well with most players. However, even with its controversial nature, this 2019 case still contains some of the best skins in the game, particularly the AWP Wildfire, which stands the test of time as one of the most unique and best-looking skins in Counter-Strike. Even a case is leagues above the single tweet we got for the 25th anniversary.

The AK-47 joined the Asiimov family while the AWP got another futuristic skin. And, though the Danger Zone game mode was removed from CS2 and is unlikely to return, we still have these amazing skins to keep us content at least to some degree. The Asiimov might be one of the best AK skins alongside the Vulcan. You can add the Asiimov to your collection for a lovely pairing with the AWP Asiimov. The Deagle in the Danger Zone case is one of my favorite pistol skins, and if I could have all of them, I would.

If you're looking to unbox some of the most fantastic skins in the game, such as the M4A4 Asiimov, then this is the case for you. This case also contains another popular skin, the AWP Redline, as well as a very good Sawed-Off skin. Like most cases of the era, this one has the potential to drop a knife. You may also want to consider reselling the case if you were to receive it in the weekly drop, since it's worth two full keys and then some.

Its high price is justified by the quality and rarity of the skins. For example, you can unlock the fantastic AK-47 Vulcan or the M4A4 Desert Strike, both of which are very valuable, but also the M4A1-S Atomic Alloy or the UPS-S Caiman. This case is also exceptional with its, well, exceptionally rare items\u2014Huntsman knives\u2014which are both valuable and good-looking. Though its roster of skins is not too big compared to other cases, the Huntsman is a good choice. Its high value may also eventually warrant a resell if you grab it for free at the end of the week.

Images via Valve With these cases, you will have the opportunity to expand your CS2 inventory or even make a quick buck or two. If Valve ever decides to expand its skin renting functionality beyond the Kilowatt case, which is currently the only one with the feature, players may even get the chance to experience some of the best and rarest skins in the game for a very low price. Until then, we'll have to open them and hope for the best. 15) Kilowatt Case The Kilowatt case, apart from containing incredible and unique skins (especially for the AWP), stands apart as the case whose skins can be rented for a limited time and used as if you owned them. For the low, low price of two and a half bucks, you can open the case and rent out any skin you like for the duration, which, given how expensive some of these skins are, might be the more economical way to go, with the primary trade-off being, well, the lack of trading capabilities. The AWP Chrome Canon contained within is also unique in the sense that it changes color based on the lighting of the location you're in. It also has the first (and currently only) skin for the Zeus of all things, making this case full of uniqueness and special skins worth opening.
