How to choose the best CSGO cases to open - Ultimate Guide

Cases in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive are virtual "boxes" filled with items (skins, stickers, graffiti). The key role in the dropout is played by luck, so the dependence of the quality of the dropped skin on your current account level can’t be traced at all.

Choosing a case is an individual decision of each player. This is the essence of this option: you can select the right option and get a cool skin. But we have to mention that it is quite difficult to determine the best cases: the opinion is subjective due to the different views on the situation with payback. But you can always train in opening cases, using a good case opener​ simulator.

Now we will try to determine how to choose cases for opening and review the best cases that are worth your attention!

Official stats about item drops by Valve

Perfect World (a partner of Valve, the developer of CS:GO), has disclosed information about the chances of items you can get from different cases in the game, so we provide the probability of getting items by colors here:

• • Blue - the chance of falling out is approximately 79.92%;
• • Purple — 15.98%;
• • Pink — 3.2%;
• • Red — 0.64%;
• • Knives — 0.26%.

In addition, it turned out that there is an almost 0.03% chance of finding a super-rare item in every case!

The best cases according to famous YouTubers and streamers

If you want to determine the quality of certain skin, open your inventory and hover over the item's image. The pop-up will display the full information about the weapon, indicating its quality at the top of the window. Skins are ranked as follows:

• • Low prices items: you can often find these things of white color in the game, do not drop out of cases, these are the items of the lowest value.
• • Industrial-quality items: light blue items; the value, as in the first category, is rather low.
• • Objects of military quality have a dark blue color and presentable appearance, the value is higher than that of the previous categories;
• • Prohibited Items are rare purple items that can be quite expensive.
• • Secret weapons: items with expensive pink skins, the price is even higher than that of the previous category.
• • Secret Objects: very rare red skins with high cost.
• • Extremely rare items: gold objects, the chance of falling out of the case is quite rare. These are some of the types of knives and rifles.

The best CS:GO cases and skins you should pay attention to
Operation Phoenix Weapon Case

Best weapon: AWP "Azimov"

The rest of the colors are not very interesting. The hype and love for the white-orange sniper rifle still bring this rather old case to the list of the best ones.

Horizon

Best Weapon: AK-47 Neon Racer, Desert Eagle Code Red

Another old case that was released back in the days when bright artistic skins were a rarity. "Neon Racer" is one of the most popular Kalashnikovs rifles, made in an unforgettable color scheme of blue, pink, and purple. There is also a deagle with expensive, but not very bright skin. However, its price is not so impressive.

Falchion

Best Weapon: Fast Beast AWP, Aquamarine Revenge AK-47

The sweetest cases are those that contain both AWP and AK-47, preferably of high quality. There are only two such cases in this collection. Popular guns are rarely cheap on the marketplace, and the true coloring quality and artistic value are not very important.

Weapon case CS: GO #1

Best Weapon: AWP Lightning Strike, AK-47 Surface hardened

This is the second case with the AWP + AK-47 combination. In our opinion, the coloring of these items is cool, albeit they are quite old. "Thunderbolt" generally looks like retro skin. Perhaps all this, coupled with the purple color scheme, makes this coloring so attractive!
"Surface hardened" does not really stand out when viewed from afar, but it looks great when you hold it in your hands. It is one of those skins that have quite a pleasant appearance with light reflections on the metal body of the rifle.

Best Weapon: AWP Great Demon, Five-Seven Velocity Beast, M4A4 Hellfire

Maybe you will be surprised to see a skin on Five-Seven in the most expensive skins listing. But it looks really cool and stands out in the entire line of "Speed ​​Beast" more than other items. The fact that the case contains a beautiful AWP and M4A4 automatically makes it in demand among streamers and collectors. In today's selection, the Hydra is the absolute leader!
