The best skins from the Kilowatt Case in CS2 are the two Coverts, AK-47 | Inheritance and AWP | Chrome Cannon, the M4A1-S | Black Lotus, and the low-cost Glock-18 | Block-18, MP7 | Just Smile and Sawed-Off | Analog Input. The priciest is the AK-47 | Inheritance, from $25 in Battle-Scarred to about $100 in Factory New, while most of the others cost anywhere from a few cents to a couple of dollars. The case itself is around $0.1, so nearly the whole cost of an opening is the $2.49 key.
The Kilowatt Case was released on February 7, 2024. It contains seventeen weapon skins and a new knife, the Kukri. Two items are genuinely unique: the skins for the Kukri Knife, a model that did not exist in the game before, and the Zeus x27 | Olympus, the first taser skin in a weapon case (see our list of all Zeus x27 skins). Beyond those two, the case has plenty of items worth a look, and these are the ones to start with.
AK-47 | Inheritance
The AK-47 | Inheritance is a Covert skin and one of the standouts of the collection. The body is painted dark blue and white and covered in blue and gold floral ornaments. If you like vintage-style designs, it is a natural pick, especially a low-float copy where the artwork shows in full detail. Field-Tested costs about $35, Minimal Wear about $50 and Factory New about $100.
AWP | Chrome Cannon
The second Covert in the case is for the sniper rifle. The futuristic AWP | Chrome Cannon features a geometric pattern of multicolored stripes that trace the outline of the weapon, and its chrome sheen stands out as the lighting changes. It costs from $25 in the worn grades and about $70 in Factory New.
Sawed-Off | Analog Input
Another minimalist design for fans of bold color combinations is the Sawed-Off | Analog Input. The rear of the shotgun is painted in several colored stripes, each marked with the first letters of the color names, and red accents on the barrel and stock complete the look. It costs under a dollar even in Factory New.
Glock-18 | Block-18
Some CS2 skins aim for a serious, realistic look; others go for fun and unusual. The Glock-18 | Block-18 is one of the latter: the pistol is painted to look as if it were built from LEGO bricks. Bright colors, a three-dimensional effect and an unusual texture make it hard to mistake for anything else. It costs under a dollar in most wears and about $1 in Factory New.
MP7 | Just Smile
The case also has a graffiti-style design. The MP7 | Just Smile carries bright yellow lettering on a blue background, and the paint drips and sweeping strokes make it look like real street art. Worn copies cost under a dollar, Factory New about $3.
M4A1-S | Black Lotus
One more skin with carefully detailed artwork deserves a mention: the Classified M4A1-S | Black Lotus. Some parts are left gray with a metallic texture, but most of the body is covered in an intricate floral ornament of purple stems and leaves, with lotus flowers standing out against them. It costs from $3, and about $10 in Factory New.
If you are deciding whether to open the Kilowatt Case or buy the skins outright, keep the payback estimate in mind: at current prices the case returns about 31% of the cost of an opening on average, and buying the exact skin on LIS-SKINS is almost always cheaper.
