Is It Worth Buying Knives in CS2?

The choice between buying skins and opening cases depends on the player's goals. For example, if you want to get a specific skin for sure, then buying through the marketplace is a more reliable and faster way. Here you do not need to open hundreds of cases in the hope of getting that very knife with a curved blade or Fade design. On the other hand, opening cases is a gambling process that can bring a lot of positive emotions and interesting skins. However, it is worth remembering that the chances of getting rare skins, in particular CS2 (CS:GO) knives, are small, and the costs of cases can be significantly higher than the cost of buying a specific skin.

Wrapping It Up

CS2 cases give players the opportunity to try their luck and get a unique knife that will surely decorate your inventory. Knowing which cases to open to get a certain knife model will significantly reduce your costs for buying cases and will lead to a long-awaited find. Choose cases wisely, take into account their features, and enjoy the exciting process of opening!
