How to get cases in CS:GO

If you have just started mastering the shooter, you probably wondered how to get cases in CS GO and whether there is any point in it at all. Yes and no. To justify this, we will say that some cases can cost from 100 to 500 rubles per unit, and there are not so few people who want to purchase them. In addition, there is always a chance to drop a particularly rare skin worth about 10-20 thousand rubles. As for the disadvantages, not everything is clear here either: to open the case you need a key, the price of which on the trading platform ranges from 100 to 150 rubles. Special souvenir or commemorative boxes require their own keys and are naturally more expensive. So decide for yourself whether to collect boxes for your own use or further resale. In any case, the game is worth the candle, if only because the potential Asiimov and Dragon Lore can be sold, and in bulk.

Our task — tell you how to get cases in CS GO for free, what is needed for this, and whether there are really reliable resources with freebies. We warn you in advance that the administration of Lis-Skins.com does not campaign for a specific site or VKontakte group, offering “verified” users. persons We show you the ways, and you decide for yourself whether it’s worth getting involved in. 

Introductory information for thought

More than 8 years have passed since the launch of CS GO, and during this time the Steam masters, under the clear leadership of Gaben, managed to release more than 27 different cases, including 3 very rare (eSports) and 4 elite (Bravo, Armory 1/2/3). The latter are valued above others for a simple reason — the value of skins is much greater. Many collections have already been taken out of the game, so cases containing a rare machine gun or rifle are of maximum value. Find out at your leisure what the course of the same Hansman, Breakout, Revolver or Falchion is today. Not the most valuable guys, but we are simply not able to list everything.

Each case contains a weapon, knife or gloves in 5 different quality types:

• Factory Direct — perfect condition, no signs of wear, of the highest value

• A little worn — the number of abrasions is within 5% of the “factory” value, but the cost is already lower;

• After field testing — Average workmanship, there are minor abrasions, the design may be faded;

• Worn — significant abrasions, signs of wear, yellowing are visible (on a white background);

• Battle-Scarred — a classic low-grade skin with a wear percentage of about 50 or higher is of no value.

Chance that a rare “Factory New” skin will drop, also with a StatTrak counter — less than 0.1%, and each opening of the case will cost you at least 100 rubles if you can find a cheap key. Is it worth it? Decide for yourself.

The second moment on the path of discovery — rarity and gradation of skins:

• Consumer goods (white) — the most common skins that can often be caught in battle;

• Industrial quality (light blue) — a little better than consumer goods and 10-15 rubles more expensive;

• Army (dark blue) — a relatively worthwhile weapon, there may be interesting options;

• Forbidden (purple) — the price tag can rise to $30-40, but the chance of falling out is extremely low;

• Classified (pink) — the cost is selected, on average, up to $100, there are unique works;

• Secret (red) — top skins, the flagships of the collections of each case in CS GO, often cost about $1000 and more;

• Unusual (gold) — this includes souvenir skins, contraband and collectibles, which you can count on the fingers of one hand on the server. They can only be obtained at events and while watching top CS GO eSports tournaments..

We're done with the introduction, let's move on to the rest of the questions.

Free farming without problems

So, how to quickly get a case in CS GO? The answer is simple: play a shooter. After each roller, there is a chance that a precious box with a potential secret skin will drop into your inventory, only in this case it is absolutely random. The probability of a case falling out is beyond any statistics, but the more people on the server — the higher the chance of success.

We also note that the drop counter is updated every Thursday; on this day we recommend staying in the game so as not to miss the opportunity. Approximate statistics say that in a week you can loot:

• Up to 2 boxes (usually 1);

• Up to 3-4 skins (95% — consumer goods and industrial quality);

• Up to 2 stickers or graffiti.

But this only applies to official Steam servers. To get a lot of cases in CS GO, even in AFK mode, you need so-called farming locations, aka — IDLE server. Their trick is that you don’t even need to play here, the simplest activity in the form of spinning in place is enough (open the console and enter the command “+left” or “+right”). After that, you can close the window and go about your business.

Optimal farming time — Thursday or the day a new update is released with the addition of another collection of skins. At this time, their value is unusually high, so in the first week you have a chance to earn about $40-50, if you're lucky.

Advantages of IDLE servers:

• Battles last from 3 to 5 minutes;

• The settings are set in such a way that the battle is designed for 1 round;

• Official VAC protection from Valve;

• You can stand still without any problems.

Actually, getting a new case in CS GO completely legally is not that difficult. You can also participate in various distributions in VK public pages or communities. But we do not undertake to take responsibility for this. Decide for yourself if it's worth it. If you tickle your nerves, it’s only for the sake of free keys that don’t drop out in the game, but are valuable. 

Finally, we note the following:

• Open cases yourself — extremely unprofitable if you are a F2P player and are not used to donating to a shooter;

• For maximum profit, we recommend farming boxes immediately after the update is released. But for the money you receive you can already buy an interesting skin that you have wanted for a long time;

• Valve periodically adds fuel to the fire and contacts bloggers who receive rare skins in videos. So don't fall for it;

• Sell rare drops immediately. In a couple of weeks there will be no value from it.
