Launched in August 2012, Counter Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) has continually increased in popularity. Along with this growth, there has been a parallel development in its skins market. From the outset, one of the primary methods of enhancing your weapon collection was to unlock cases received after playing on official servers.
While the in-game store offers case keys at a consistent price, the value of the weapons cases themselves can fluctuate greatly. Sometimes the price surges due to the potential of obtaining a sought-after, rare skin, or simply because the case's supply is diminishing in the market. Buying a case is inherently riskier than buying a skin outright as there's no certainty about which weapon will be revealed upon opening.

The most coveted and therefore costly cases to date include:
CS:GO Weapon Case ($100)
At present, the CS:GO Weapon Case is the most expensive case on the market, by a considerable stretch. Its price reaches such highs justifiable as it comes with the chance to obtain the highly profitable AK-47 Case Hardened which can be worth thousands depending on its pattern index.
Operation Bravo Case ($65)
Costing up to sixty-five dollars, the Operation Bravo Case's value is significantly driven by its exclusivity in offering guns such as the AK-47 Fire Serpent or AWP Graphite. These two classic skins are liked by the community as they were released in the beginnings of CS:GO and hold a special place in people’s heart.
eSports 2013 Case ($45)
As the name suggests, this case was released in 2013 and features several renowned skins. It's sought by collectors hoping to get their hands on the AWP Boom or P90 Death by Kitty. Additionally, there's a chance to land rare knives. The eSports 2013 Case commands a high price due to its scarcity as a drop in the game, meaning it can only be purchased or traded from other players.
Operation Hydra Case ($22.88)
Introduced at the end of 2017, the Operation Hydra case rapidly became one of the game's priciest. It contains a total of 41 skins, including 24 glove variants. Given that these gloves rank among the game's most expensive items, this case can yield a substantial profit for the unboxer.
CS:GO Weapon Case 2 ($12)
This case, dating back to November 2013, is among the game's oldest. It offers a chance to obtain one of over seventy skins, featuring rare knife variants such as the M9 Bayonet, Falchion, or Karambit. Notable items from the Weapon Case 2 also include the Five-SeveN Case Hardened which is pattern based and sought after.
