Best CS2 Cases To Open – December 2024

You probably shouldn’t open CS2 cases. Frankly, the odds are horrible. You are much better off going to a case opening site, where the house edge may be around 15% and backed by a provably fair system, much better than CS2 cases, which have a “house edge”(if you consider Valve the “house”) of between 20% and 80%. If you haven’t opened cases in CS2 yet, you should probably avoid starting.

Gallery Case

$0.76

It’s hard to tell what the prospects of the Gallery Case really are. It’s possible that the case’s extremely high ROI of 83% is due to The Armory hype, which has still yet to die off and continues to drive prices of the skins in the case. Or perhaps it’s a genuinely well-created case that, as long as the cost remains below $1(plus a $2.50 key) and the skins keep their value, will become a fan favorite of case openers. The case currently has an 82.81% ROI and a chance to profit of 8.76%, making it all around the best CS2 case to open right now.

Kilowatt Case

$0.63

Not all the skins in the Kilowatt Case are created equal. Unlike some cases where decently priced blues and purples make opening more profitable by making losses a bit less painful, the Kilowatt case is a pretty brutal unbox unless you are getting lucky. In this case, opening a decent Mil-Spec or Restricted skin isn’t going to help you at all, but pulling a rare unbox like a Classified, Covert, or Kukri Knife will bless you with an expensive skin worth anywhere from $10 to $800. The high price of the rarer unboxing makes the Kilowatt Case the second best in CS2’s extensive collection of cases, with an ROI of 74% and a chance to profit of 5.21%.

CS:GO Weapon Case 3

$7.32

CS2 cases are highly hit or miss. Either the case is stocked full of great skins with strong chances of profit, or the case is destined for failure, with boring skins that will be worthless once the initial hype of the case release dies down. The CS:GO weapon cases are some really special cases and are perhaps the perfect example of a “hit” case. For a decade, this case has been blessing unboxers, and despite a somewhat average unboxing ROI of 71.48%, it has a massive chance to profit of 12.08%, making it the second-best CS2 case in terms of chances to profit.

CS:GO Weapon Case 2

$12.12

Released way back in November 2013(11 years ago!), the CS:GO Weapon Case 2 is one of the most classic cases in CS2. Despite the high case cost of 13 dollars plus a $2.50 key, the case still remains one of the best to unbox, thanks to its somewhat decent-priced blues and expensive purple and pink skins, which make it much easier to profit. Plus, if you are lucky enough to pull a knife, you are looking at an average value of over $600 with a max pull of over 2500 dollars. All of these attributes give this case an unboxing ROI just short of 70% and a chance to profit at 6.63%.

Operation Wildfire Case

$1.91

Of all of the special cases released in CS:GO’s operations, the Operation Wildfire Case remains one of the best weapon cases for case openings. Much of its 67% ROI and 5.4% chance to profit can be attributed to its relatively low price($2.81 + key) compared to the price of the skins. The high-value classified skins and the weapon case’s main covert, the iconic AK-47 | Fuel Injector, make it great for case openings, as consistently pulling Classified skins and a few AKs can really make an opening profitable. Just hope that you don’t get the wrong Covert, because while the AK has an average value of $250, the M4A4 has an average value of just $8.5.

Conclusion

Be sure to keep these cases in mind when you open your next cases. Also note that all of the cases in this list, and the majority of the more profitable cases in the game, have Knives and not Gloves as their Rare Special item. And if you haven’t started opening cases yet, don’t do it, because the odds are against you.
