You've probably wondered what kind of case to open in CS:GO. More precisely not even that: how high is the chance to pay off if you open this or that box of skins. Let's say right away that the event is far from the cheapest, as everything depends on the number of keys in the inventory. Here you will have to buy them for real money (about 100-150 rubles per piece), trade from other players, win in publiki, etc. The case itself can be knocked out without much trouble in the game at the rate of 2 pieces per week, regardless of servers. Except that it is faster to do it on IDLE cards.

Prisma Case 

This case is notable, first of all, for the opportunity to knock out one of the elite knives, the price of which several times overlaps the cost of the initial investment. But gamers are predominantly after the two red skins:

All prices are for the version «Direct from the factory», of course with StatTrak. However, such a wide range of goodies is worth it once or twice to tickle your nerves and try your luck.

Danger Zone Case 

Another fat gift from Steam and a nominee for the award «what is the best case to open in CS GO». Oh, and the drop is pretty interesting. The leaders, naturally, are AK 47 Asiimov for 47000 rubles and AWP Neo-Noir for 9500 rubles respectively. Plus you can get a high-end knife if you're lucky.

Horizon Case 

Against the background of the previous Horizon Cases, it's not that expensive, but there's a lot more «delicious» skins at a good value, and that shows a good return on investment. Among the leaders are Desert Eagle Code Red  for 19000 rubles and AK 47 Neon Rider for 20500 rubles respectively. But the rest of the candidates did not fail:

• Famas Eye of Athena — 2100 rubles;

• AWP Paw — 1100 rubles;

Don't forget that one of the precious knives is looming on the horizon, which can also be obtained with a certain amount of luck. The average payback percentage for the case — is about 40, even without StatTrak guns.

Clutch Case 

«A crucial» moment — is the first on our list that offers to test your luck and get a pair of top-end gloves. But even without that, there are some interesting guns that you can start hunting for:

• AK 47 Neonoir — up to 23000 rubles;

• MP7 Bloodsport — up to 2300 rubles.

This is actually the avant-garde that many people are looking up to. Among the more affordable skins we will single out:

• USP-S Twist — 1300 rubles (without StatTrak);

• AUG Stymphalian Bird — 1300 rubles;

• UMP-45 Arctic Wolf — 450 rubles;

• MAG-7 Pont 7 — 500 rubles.

There is also enough cheap army stuff, but the chances of getting one are not the lowest.

Chroma 2 Case 

These cases are definitely worth opening in CS:GO, they are damn popular among beginners and top gamers even despite being 5 years old. There are several reasons for that, at least a knife, Mac-10 Neon Racer for 3500 rubles and M4A1-S Speed Beast for 15000 rubles, if you managed to knock out a new StatTrak-example.

Among other goodies we would like to mention:

• Galil AR Eko — 4900 rubles;

• Five-SeveN Monkey Business — 1500 rubles;

• MAG-7 Fever — 900 rubles;

• P250 Valence — 220 rubles.

The last skin is far from being the most expensive, but it looks very decent in our humble opinion.

Operation Breakout Weapon Case 

An equally old case that appeared in the game back in 2014. However, it is still popular among the community, if only because here you can try to pull a P90 Azimov for 14000 rubles and M4A1-S Syrex for 5000 rubles. And they are still relevant and don't think of losing popularity. And despite the prefix «Gun», there is also a place for a bowie knife, a rather expensive skin by the way. 

Now as for interesting barrels:

• Glock-18 Spirit of Water — 3500 rubles;

• Desert Eagle Conspiracy — 1500 rubles;

• Five-SeveN Bird Games — 1200 rubles;

• P250 Supernova — 220 rubles.

You can't call this case a top case, but several interesting barrels are present.

Chroma 3 Case 

Another veteran of CS GO, but the drop from this case can cause a bad rhythm, if you managed to catch most of the offered skins. The first thing to note are the knives, PP-19 Bison Judgment of Anubis for 2600 rubles and M4A1-S Fire Chantico for 26000 rubles. One of the most expensive of its kind. But that's not all, as the case can give:

• P250 Asimov's — 6600 rubles;

• UMP-45 Primeval Sabertooth — 2400 rubles;

• AUG Speed Pack — 3800 rubles;

• XM1014 Black Tie — 850 rubles;

• CZ75-Auto Red Hawk — 740 rubles.

As an incentive prize you can get double Beretta, though they cost pennies.

Prisma 2 Case 

The newest, rarest and most expensive case with space loot. But this trend will continue for another month or two, after which there will be no more value from him than from the others. But if you're daring and decide to pull your luck — there's more than just knives to be had.

The most valuable:

• Glock-18 Bullet Queen — 140 000 rubles for StatTrak Straight from the factory;

• M4A1-S Player Two — 60 000 rubles;

• AK 47 Phantom Disruptor — 19 000 rubles;

• Mac-10 Disco Tech — 17,000 rubles;

• MAG-7 Justice — 10 000 rubles;

• SSG 08 Fever Dream — 5300 rubles.

The case pays for itself in 60% of cases. Current offers on the trading floor range from $1.8, depending on the number of cases in a single lot. So it's up to you to decide if it's worth the gamble.

Why these cases? Stats, experience, number of really good skins, popularity in the game. Some garments can cost $150-$200 while not being in demand because of the specifics of the pattern. The more often a skin is on the rumor — the more likely the player will want it, and this is a potential purchase of certain cases. 

We hope you manage to break even and get your hands on a top gun or rifle on the first try. Luck — thing is curious.
