CS2 Cases

Counter Strike 2 weapon cases drop during the game. Players can open these cases to obtain skins for all different kinds of CS2 weapons. The various available weapon cases drop in different frequencies. There are four different drop pools of cases: "Prime", "Armory", " Rare" and "Discontinued".

Prime Drop Pool
Prime is the most active drop pool. In general, most recent weapon cases are in the prime drop pool. All players with the CS2 Prime Status can receive these cases. The status can be purchased via Steam Prime Status Upgrade for CS2. The majority of players are in this segment. As a result, these cases drop in a very high quantity and they are typically the cheapest weapon cases on the market. This drop pool consists of a few cases as shown below.

Armory Drop Pool
This drop pool is only accessible to players with an active Armory Pass. Each case can be obtained by spending 2 stars. Stars can be obtained by collecting XP while playing CS2. As an alternative, players can also acquire these cases through the Steam Community Market or various third-party trading platforms.

Please note: These cases are not included in the Prime drop rotation or the rare drop pool, which means they are not available as part of the weekly care package.

Rare Drop Pool
This pool usually contains old or operation pass exclusive weapon cases. Since the Non-Prime Pool was removed, these drops can only be obtained by prime status holders. These cases drop in very rare instances, and thus are often more expensive than active weapon cases.

Discontinued Drop Pool
Discontinued weapon cases no longer drop to any CS2 players. Nevertheless, there are still a lot of these cases in existence that are marketable and tradable.
The eSports cases can be found here, as these were originally introduced to raise money for majors at the beginning of CS2. Since then, the game community has grown enormously, so that the majors can also be financed through other means.
The weapon cases from recent operations also appear to have been discontinued, since no drops were reported after the end of these operations.
