When Do CSGO Weekly Drops Reset? Complete Drop Schedule Guide

CSGO drops reset every Wednesday at 00:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). This weekly reset applies to both casual and competitive game modes, giving players a fresh chance to earn in-game items.

During each weekly period, players can earn up to 2-4 weapon case or weapon skin drops through regular gameplay. The exact number depends on your CS:GO Prime status - Prime users typically receive more drops than non-Prime players.

To maximize your chances of receiving drops, here's what you need to know:

• You must complete matches to be eligible for drops
• XP earned doesn't affect drop chances
• Drops are completely random during gameplay
• Abandoned matches don't count toward drop eligibility

The timing of drops within your weekly allowance is random, but you can track your progress by noting when you receive items. Once you've received your weekly quota, you'll need to wait until the next Wednesday reset to become eligible again.

It's worth noting that special event drops, like those during Major tournaments, operate on different schedules and aren't affected by the weekly reset timer. These events have their own specific drop rules and timeframes.

For Prime users, the weekly drop limit typically includes:

• Up to 2 weapon cases
• Up to 2 weapon skins
• Possible rare special items

Non-Prime users are usually limited to:

• 1-2 weapon cases
• Limited weapon skin drops
• No access to rare special items

Remember that the reset happens at the same time globally, so convert UTC to your local timezone to know exactly when you can start earning new drops. For example, if you're in EST, the reset occurs on Tuesday at 8:00 PM.

After each reset, your drop counter returns to zero, giving you a fresh start for the new week. This system ensures regular opportunities to earn new items while maintaining balance in the game's economy.
