Skins in CS2 serve as a visual enhancement for weapons in the game, and therefore they have a great significance for the gaming experience and community culture. Rare and valuable skins are an object of desire for players who want to emphasize their uniqueness and status in the game. Many skins have such a high cost that they are simply unattainable for most players. But there are more affordable, valuable skins that you can get when opening cases. In this article, you will learn about them.
Valuable Skins That You Can Actually Get When Opening Cases
There are quite a few skins in CS2 that have a high value. Their cost can be several thousand or tens of thousands of dollars. There is a small chance of getting such a skin when opening cases, but there is also a category of skins with an average cost. They are no less attractive and quite accessible to ordinary users.
AK-47 | Case Hardened
AK-47 | Case Hardened is one of the skins that started another trend – collecting skins with rare pattern indices. There are thousands of variations of texture overlay on the weapon’s surface, and some of them can cost thousands of dollars, for example, if the pattern is dominated by one color. However, regardless of the pattern index, this machine with gold, silver, and blue-violet stains looks impressive, and it was added in the very first case, in August 2013. The skin has a Classified rarity, you can get it by opening the CS:GO Weapon Case.
AK-47 | Fire Serpent
Added to the game in September 2013, Fire Serpent was inspired by traditional Aztec patterns, and the design on the body depicts a fiery serpent, which was revered in the myths of this people. Despite the fact that a significant part of the machine gun’s surface remains unpainted, this skin is still popular. The skin has a Covert rarity and is included in the Operation Bravo Case. The cost of this skin can exceed $ 2,000.
Desert Eagle | Blaze
In terms of popularity, Blaze can probably compete with the AWP | Asiimov. This pistol design, whose barrel seems to be engulfed in flames, cannot be confused with anything. Its only drawback is the high price. Due to the fact that this skin cannot be obtained from cases now, its cost is inevitably increasing.
If you consider skins as an investment, this one is definitely worth a closer look. You can try to get this skin by opening exclusive cases available on third-party platforms. The skin has a Restricted rarity and belongs to The Dust Collection.
Desert Eagle | Hypnotic
CS2 skins with unusual optical effects have already appeared in the first cases.

You can hope that they will confuse the enemy! Desert Eagle | Hypnotic has a Classified rarity, and its cost can exceed $80.
AWP | Boom
This skin, which appeared in 2013 in the eSports 2013 Case, was one of the first designs in which camouflage coloring was replaced by a bright pattern. If at first, the developers preferred more realistic muted tones, the popularity of the AWP Boom showed them that multi-colored patterns in the style of comics or graffiti would be no less popular with players. It is not surprising that this skin is in great demand now. The skin has a Classified rarity and its cost exceeds $100-$400 depending on the quality.
