Keys purchased before October 2019 can still be sold and traded, though.Įach case follows a theme and contains skins spanning various weapons and rarities, from common to special items. In 2019 Valve introduced a new rule outlining that new container keys can no longer be sold on the Community Market to combat fraudulent activity. These can be purchased in-game for $2.50/£1.99. For example, if you want to open a Prisma 2 case, you need a Prisma 2 Key. Specific keys are required for opening each case. After busting it open, you watch all the available skins roll past before it settles on a random one. Each cases' contents are listed when you click on them in your inventory. Unfortunately, there's no guarantee you'll know what you'll receive from a case when you open it. You may receive them as a reward for levelling up, but you can also buy and sell them on the Community Market. There are over 25 cases in CS:GO and these operate as the game's loot boxes. Some variants may not have any purple on them at all. For example, many Bayonet Fade knives have a purple tip, but variants that have a higher percentage of purple cover may be worth more simply because people like how they look.
Doppler, Case Hardened, and Fade all feature patterns that can lead to different results when spread across a weapon. Take extra care when picking CS:GO skins with varying finishes. The wear on CS:GO cosmetics fit onto a spectrum-known as a float value-so I recommend clicking 'Inspect in game' on the market listing to get a better idea of what you're actually buying. Just because an item is 'Field-Tested' doesn't mean all skins in that category look exactly the same. Wear varies between weapons, even if they're exactly the same item in the same condition band. Factory New is the cleanest possible version of the skin:

Equipping the skin has no effect on its wear, either.īattle-Scarred skins usually feature heavy scratches and wear that makes the skin appear faded, or not as vibrant. There's no way for players to influence the wear of a skin as it's determined when it's unboxed from a case.
#Cs go global offensive Patch#
