During the existence of the game, about four dozen cases have already been released in which you can find a variety of skins for weapons, gloves and knives. Some of them can be sold at a price many times higher than the cost of the case and key, so purchasing them can be considered a good investment. Although the potential profit greatly depends on luck, there are several cases that are worth paying attention to first.
It is worth considering that, from a statistical point of view, not a single case in CS2 provides a guaranteed profit. In other words, the probabilities of dropping expensive skins are such that if you purchase a large number of containers, you can still end up in the red if you are unlucky. Therefore, it is better to treat the purchase of skins, like other investments, with caution. When calculating potential profit, do not forget to take into account the cost of the key.
Snakebite Case (Snake Blow)
This case can be obtained as a weekly drop, which means it is present on the market in large quantities quantity and is inexpensive. This is currently the cheapest container you can get gloves from. Although the likelihood of this is small, you can earn $300 or more by selling them. Among the successful skins that fall out of it are – bright MP-9 Food Chain and inspired by Tarot cards USP-S The Traitor.
Fracture Case (Fracture)
If you hunt for knives, not gloves, your choice – Fracture Case. Its price now remains low for the same reason as Snakebite. However, it is worth considering that the rest of the skins in this case are not very expensive – even "Secret" Desert Eagle Printstream and AK-47 Legion of Anubis can be found on the Steam marketplace for several tens of dollars. Because of this, the profitability of the case is estimated lower than that of the previous one.
Operation Wildfire Case
This case costs more than the previous ones, but at the same time, the chances of making money on it are higher due to the fact that you can get valuable skins from it with a greater chance. Interestingly,AK-47 Fuel Injector, the most expensive skin from this container, even in average quality costs more than most knives that can be obtained from it. Sale of “Classified” skins quality can also be quite profitable.
Operation Breakout
Another case that may be of interest to those who are trying to make money on the resale of rarities – this Operation Breakout. It can be used to obtain Butterfly Knife copies, which are among the most expensive on the market today. However, there is a problem: even taking into account the high price of this knife, the profitability of the case is only 27%. This means that on average, by reselling dropped skins, a player will receive 27 cents for every dollar spent. Therefore, you can only make money with luck.
As you can see, to make money by buying cases in CS2, you need a lot of luck. If you just want to add a rare skin to your collection, take a look at the Lis-Skins.com catalog – It's often easier to just buy the skin you want rather than rely on chance.
