The list of cases that can be obtained in this way is different for prime account holders and other users. Both can get skins from the Active Drop Pool, and those who have paid for Prime have a chance to get Rare Cases.
Of course, the cases can not only be obtained in the game, but also purchased on trading platforms. When choosing which one to favor, it's worth paying attention to what items can drop off and how noteworthy they are. If you're lucky, you might find that the cost of the skin pays for the cost of opening the case. At the moment, the following options are the most attractive both for collectors of original coloring and for those who consider skins as a source of income.
