How to Open CS:GO Cases: Step-by-Step Guide for Weapon Skins
To open CSGO cases, you'll need to follow a few simple steps. I'll guide you through both the in-game method and alternative options.
Through Steam:
1. Launch CSGO through Steam 2. Click on "Inventory" in the main menu 3. Select the case you want to open 4. Purchase a key if you don't have one already ($2.49 per key) 5. Click "Unlock Container" and confirm your choice 6. Watch the animation and receive your item
Through Third-Party Websites:
1. Choose a reputable case opening website 2. Link your Steam account 3. Deposit funds 4. Select your preferred case 5. Click to open
It's important to note that opening cases is essentially gambling, and the odds of getting valuable items are generally low. The average return on investment is typically less than the cost of keys.
Tips for Safe Case Opening:
1. Set a strict budget before starting 2. Only use official Steam markets or well-known third-party sites 3. Never share your Steam credentials with unofficial websites 4. Be aware that most cases contain lower-tier items 5. Keep track of your spending
Case Opening Costs:
- In-game cases: $2.49 per key
- Case prices: Vary from $0.03 to $30+ depending on rarity
- Third-party sites: Prices vary by platform
The odds of receiving different item qualities are:
- Blue (Consumer Grade): ~79.92% - Purple (Industrial Grade): ~15.98% - Pink (Mil-Spec): ~3.2% - Red (Classified): ~0.64% - Yellow (Covert): ~0.26% - Knife/Gloves: ~0.26%
Before opening cases, make sure you understand that it's a form of gambling and should be approached responsibly. If you're looking for specific skins, buying them directly from the Steam market is often more cost-effective than opening cases.
Remember that all trades and transactions should only be done through official channels to avoid scams and protect your account security. Never enter your Steam credentials on unofficial websites claiming to offer free cases or better odds.
