How to get cases in CS2

You can get CS2 cases for free by simply playing the game and earning XP. Once you've reached certain XP ranks each week, you get to claim two weekly care package rewards, with a chance of them being cases. You can also simply buy the cases from the Steam marketplace if you don't want to spend too much time grinding for them.

The best CS2 cases to buy

If you're opening up cases, you'll need to know about the ROI (return on investment) to ensure you're spending the optimal amounts of money on cases in order to get the maximum amount of value from the skins you have the chance to get.

Keys remain the same price, while the cost of cases is dynamic. Therefore, your best bet for making a profit is to buy the cheapest possible cases on the Steam marketplace. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Prisma Case
  • Prisma 2 Case
  • Recoil Case
  • Snakebite Case
  • Danger Zone Case
  • CS20 Case
  • Fracture Case

By the time I wrote this, all of these cases were under $1, which is the pattern you should follow. Since the Steam marketplace and Counter-Strike community change so rapidly, you'll always want to stick to getting cases for under a dollar in order to guarantee you'll get the most out of them.
