1. Spectrum 2 Case
First, we have the Spectrum 2 Case, released on September 14th, 2017, alongside the “China, are you ready?” update. Thirty(30) different knife skins can potentially drop from the Spectrum 2 Case, with the most desirable ones being the Butterfly Knife Marble Fade, which sells for around $2,000, and the Butterfly Knife Doppler, which goes for well over $2,000. With Steam Community Market listings starting at around $2.4, this case is a great budget option for anyone looking for knife skin drops in CS2.
2. CS:GO Weapon Case 2
Up next, we have the CS:GO Weapon Case 2. It was released on November 8th, 2013, with the “The Arms Deal 2” update, and the main reason we had to include it on this list is its large variety of Knife skins, with 65 possible knives in total. Some of the most beautiful knives you can potentially get from this case include the Karambit Case Hardened, M9 Bayonet Slaughter, Karambit Blue Steel, and M9 Bayonet Fade, all of which are worth around $1,000. This case is on the rarer side, with only 1,110 listings on the Steam Community Market right now, starting from $14.76.
3. Shattered Web Case
The Shattered Web Case is also one of the rarer cases in CS2, with only 1,877 listings on the Steam Community Market. However, it isn’t as expensive as the previous one, with prices starting at around $4.56. For unique skins like Paracord Knife Case Hardened, Survival Knife Urban Masked, Skeleton Knife Stained, or Nomad Knife Stained, you need this case, especially since the skins mentioned above are only available in either this case or one other container.
4. Horizon Case
The Horizon Case is another container that offers knives you can only get from a total of 2 containers in CS2. These knives include the Stiletto Knife Fade, Navaja Knife Case Hardened, Talon Knife Blue Steel, and Ursus Knife Scorched. The insane part about all this is that you can get this case for as low as $1.15 from the Steam Community market, and you can sometimes even find listings for just 1 dollar.
5. Gamma Case
Finally, if you’re looking for knives with intricate, flashy, and in-your-face designs, then you should consider the Gamma Case. Examples of such skins you can get from the Gamma case include Karambit Lore, M8 Bayonet Autotronic, Bayonet Gamma Dopler, Flip Knife Freehand, and other Lore, Autotronic, Freehand, and Gamma Doppler variants. As for the price, the Steam Community Market listings start at around $3.10.
