Best Cases to Open in CS:GO (December 2025)

Unraveling the Best CS:GO Cases to open in 2025: A Collector’s Guide

As of December 2025, around forty cases have been released in CS2, each offering a diverse selection of weapon skins, gloves, and knives. While some cases feature items with market values significantly exceeding their cost, profitability depends largely on chance. Therefore, it's essential to approach skin purchases cautiously and consider the cost of keys when calculating potential profit.

Case rarities probabilities

Firstly, let’s go over the odds for each rarity drop once the case is opened:

1. CS:GO Weapon Case 3 ($10.05 + $2.49 key) (73.29% ROI)

With an ROI of 73.29%, the CS:GO Weapon Case 3 takes the #1 in terms of profitability as you can expect an average of 73.29% ROI meaning if you spend 100$ on this case you can expect to get 73.29$ back with average luck. The knives dropped from the case include the Karambit, M9 Bayonnet, Gut Knife and Flip Knife.

Keep in mind that the ROI is highly inflated by the gold drops meaning you will have to open a lot of cases in order to get closer to the theoretical ROI.

2. Operation Hydra Case ($47.93 + $2.49 key) (72.95% ROI)

This discontinued and scarce CS2 case is the second best case you can open with an ROI of 72.95% ROI. It contains some of the most expensive and sought after gloves like the Pandora's Box Gloves and Superconductors that can reach prices of 50k+ in Factory New condition.

The Red rarity drops from this case have also seen their prices skyrocket from 200$ to 1000$ since the new trade-up update (allows players to trade them up to Golds) making this case one of the most profitable to open.

3. Snakebite Case ($0.76 + $2.49 key) (71.58% ROI)

With an ROI of 71.58%, this case takes the #3 spot. This less expensive glove case has a less valuable overall drop pool with skins like Broken Nocts Sports Gloves and Slingshot Sports Gloves as the best drops (~$5k in best condition).

4. CS:GO Weapon Case 2 ($13.14 + $2.49 key) (71.5% ROI)

This case takes the #4 spot in the most profitable cases, since you can expect to get on average 71.5% of your money back when opening it. Its drop pool contains the Karambit, M9 Bayonnet, Bayonnet Flip Knife and Gut knife. This case is the more expensive version of the Weapon Case 3 due to its lower tier skins fetching higher prices.

5. Operation Vanguard Weapon Case ($5.39 + $2.49 key) (70.62% ROI)

With an ROI of 70.62%, the Operation Vanguard Weapon Case takes the final spot at the #5 position. The knives dropped from the case are similar to the ones from the Weapon Case 3 (#1 Case in ROI) but with a more affordable price tag. The price of the Red Rarity P2000 Fire Elemental and AK-47 Wasteland Revel in this case have also seen their price more than double since the trade-up update ($120).
