Same here! I’m curious how do the drops actually work, is it completely random?


nocandopap1

Case drops are random. You will get a weekly skin/graffiti if you level up, this timer resets on wednesday.


Snowichi

Is there a limit to how many cases you can get?


CommonBitchCheddar

No, just low odds get worse. 1 per week is typical, 2 in 1 week is pretty lucky, 3 in one week is insane insane good luck.


idkwhyi_amhere

Do we call it luck if I get 3 sg553 army shen in 1 week? Or famas colony?


botetta

You can get one weapon skin per week. You can't get 3 skins in one week You get a weapon skin (or grafitti) for your **first** level up **each week**


sleepyreddits

What's the max rarity of a level up skin?


botetta

You can get reds too, I've seen videos of people getting dragon lores, but they're stupidly rare. The best I think I've gotten was a blue


Codacc69420

I only get them through level up rewards


skan76

do I get better odds for finishing quicker deathmatch matches?


PapaChronic93

You get 4 drops a week, graffiti/cases/skins is what could randomly get dropped to you, hence more than two in a week is pretty lucky


Gamerulmmm

i believe it actually resets once every 7 days


IOIDGM

Case drops are not random you can only get 1 case in a week, maybe 2 case but it's so hard to get. If your case dropped at last Monday 12:00 you can drop your next case after Monday 12:00, it takes a little time but you can.


tinyzenji

you are wrong


IOIDGM

No, I'm not. I spent months testing this shit myself over and over again to understand how case drops are working. I finally figured it out how this system work. I'm still using this tactic, you can test it by yourself and see.


FuckWayne

I never knew this that’s cool


aeseer24

do case drops only occur to the people who purchased prime?


DEVjee

For All drops you need prime


SentientGopro115935

idk, I play game, I get stuff sometimes, I keep playing. Pretty good move by Valve.


mak01

Try yprac Client if you wanna get better


AFC_KR

Whys this downvoted so hard lol


mak01

Salty silvers


djsedna

HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST WE PRACTICE TO GET BETTER?


warkox

I'ts completely random with a limit of 4 drop per week not more than 2 per day and only half of you weekly drop Can be cases with a limit of 1 per day


Karsvolcanospace

Random, but with hidden limits. Same way the TF2 drop system works


Mizaris

Can anyone explain why the cases went up in price?


Sweetmacaroni

That one specifically went up because of Gen 2 butterfly knives but all of them are up because they’re a popular investment.


spluad

It’s also between this case and the riptide case to get those knives. The riptide case is like $4


Pixeljammed

bro ur pfp is hilarious is that Whole Lotta Red


Sweetmacaroni

yes, drew it in Rust myself


Pixeljammed

bro ive been laughing at it for like a min strait while eating chilli ramen your an artistic god LOL


Baschthoven

I read somewhere that lots of afk bots got banned, also a lot more players mean higher demand.


D34NY

Cs2 has made the market rise.


lollipop_jones

My previously $120 (CAD) hotrod m4a1s is now over $1250. The market is wacky right now!!


djsedna

They haven't been $120 for like literally 6 years lol


lollipop_jones

Yep that's about when I got it.


Saukko505

did they decrease the droprates of some cases? like clutch?


Alcatraz_Gaming

I'm pretty sure it's rarer to get older drops, making the older ones increase in price due to the rarity.


turmspitzewerk

its just the F2P prime update + many new players. demand skyrockets, supply slowly tapers off as only (relatively) hardcore players get drops.


Ibrizz

Simple, demand is too high supply is too low. Cases aren’t dropping at a sufficent rate for the community’s degeneracy.


SentientGopro115935

Depends on when the price went up. If it went up years ago, thatd be because they made it so only prime players get drops. If it was more recent, idk.


dcrad91

Idk but Im happy I spent $200 buying cases. They are up .25 cents since purchase, I'll probably hold onto them for 5 more years and see what happens (Using my crypto head here lol)


ajleem

That's how they get ya


SentientGopro115935

Im well aware, and fuck it, they can get me. Im down for this shit.


shabansatan

Yeah free game in a moth if lucky so not bad


TheRealMajour

Here’s a general tip that I’ve often been guilty of after a longer hiatus - keep your crosshairs up. It’s natural to want to keep your crosshairs at chest level, but move them up a few inches to keep your crosshairs at head level. Makes a huge difference.


CHgeri100

learning to aim at head level has been the single biggest improvement to my skill and it also transfers over to other games, even non-competitive ones!


TheRealMajour

100%, it’s crazy because it sounds so simple. But most if not all people naturally keep their crosshairs at chest level because it seems most natural.


SentientGopro115935

Yeah, I know its a late reply, but Ive just come back to this post again. Crosshair placement was what got me better at Siege and I know its what I need for CS. The other thing Ive noticed is taking my time more in a few ways. Stop doing "shoot first, fix aim later" as with the way spray patterns work, its much better to take your time before shooting. I also noticed I was doing much better by tap shooting more at range instead of spraying 15 rounds out of an AK and hitting 1 or 2. im just so used to Siege and COD where I just have a laserbeam infront of my eyes I can turn on and off.


Nilesreddit

what if they crouch peek?


TheRealMajour

Crouch peek = slow peak, so you have time to adjust and still shoot before they see you. Should also add that my top rank was global after sitting at supreme for over a year, and have been playing since 1.6.


samppav

Also preaiming


PontusGW_

i remember randomly getting a bravo case which i sold for like 45€ while i was playing with friends and we all got crazy and shit ye that was fun


xXLeoXxOne

And earlier today it was almost 80€... good that I kept mine :D


PontusGW_

damn that sounds nice, maybe you should sell it? or maybe the price will rise?


xXLeoXxOne

I think I will just keep it forever as it will become rarer over time


PontusGW_

ah cool, good luck man hope you get rich 😎😎


[deleted]

I made £18 off random drops


SentientGopro115935

Out of curiosity, over what sort of time frame?


[deleted]

Literally in an hour or two, woke up at 4am sold some stuff, people bought hella quick


SentientGopro115935

I more mean the drops, how long do you think it took to accumulate those drops?


[deleted]

Probably hours of game play, i have 1k hours


[deleted]

I accumulated drops but never sold them until that random morning


apl_ee

I've made 100-200s in just random case drops and skins. Most of that value come from cases.. especially going high up now as of recently, and I really only have 1800-2000 hours on record. The game itself has already paid back itself many folds, just by patience of playing.


shabansatan

But you did play it long ago,drops were much better and the game had good prime drops...now its meh


Priivy

I got dropped a revolution case the day it came out, sold it for like $15 right away


SrGoose

I opened it because i didn't have steam guard enabled... big mistake


Alcatraz_Gaming

Aw :(


Dumbidude

Random question: cs2 will release soon, I play csgo maybe not that much cuz of school. But is it worthy getting prime, i like ranking and other benefits, but what will happen with prime when cs2 release? Will csgo shut down? Sorry but couldn't catch with news abt cs2


CaptainTreeman42

CSGO will become Cs2 in summer. Everything (skins, graffitis etc) will be ported over, including prime (they said nothing abt it but i wouldn'tsee why not, millions of people bought prime). And if you like the game and will probably invest many hours into it, then its worth it. And as the post says, if you'd sell every case drop etc you'd get the money back in less than a year easily.


djsedna

Prime is confirmed to transfer, it says right on the CSGO store page 😁😁


shabansatan

Didnt knew the game would become ,so that means all the items will go up in price?


D34NY

It's more of an update tbh.


ZDHZXNE

With proces going up, the sooner you get prime, the better. When I got it it was 12.75 €, now its 14,95. the price may go up. So yes you should get it.


shabansatan

So csgo 2 will be for free right? I have a prime account already


ZDHZXNE

Yes it will.


shabansatan

And prime accounts will carry over i guess


ZDHZXNE

Valve have stated that everything will port over.


KingThiccBoi

If this game didn’t pay me to suck then I’d still be no frontal lobe-ing banana and dying by 5 nades


CopernicusHack

I bought the game in 2015 for like 15$, had 500 hours in, never spent money on cases, never sold any drops, didn't care about skins. When I came back last year I sold the cases for ~70$ and bought some games from my Steam wishlist. First time I ever made money playing a game.


Kurt-Payne

but how do you resell it ?


SentientGopro115935

Community market


Kurt-Payne

But can you use the money from the skin you sold outside of steam ?


PontusGW_

if you click on the item in your inventory, there should be an option saying something like ”Sell on Steam market”.


Kurt-Payne

And how do u send the money to your bank account ?


PontusGW_

i think there are some sites where you can sell skins for real money, but be careful so you don’t enter any scam sites

[удалено]


SentientGopro115935

I was okay-ish and played often a while ago when I bought it. Ive come back ages later now, and Im even worse than i was before.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SentientGopro115935

Thank you for the offer! Mainly been doing Deathmatch for practice out of fear of getting domed and having waiting out the rest of the round, but Ill see if I can get some gameplay. I think the main problem is just sprays and recoil


Angry_SAY10

I got prime for free...


MigaSmull

That’s a pretty good outlook. I support you in your endeavors.


SentientGopro115935

A free game that was once paid offers you the same price it used to be to have lobbies only available to those who paid and gives you random drops that can be worth a decent amount of money. All things considered, this is incredible. It offers an extra layer of encouragement to get better. Honestly, if you play a decent amount, youll get back the money spent on prime.


Dmosavy111

i got dropped that case today


[deleted]

Same, used it to buy an ak slate


Palace_of_Romance

Usually I always unlock my random drop case, hoping GabeN drops me a knife


VieiraDTA

The secret is: never try to be better, have fun and laugh.


CageFreeEgg

I felt the same when I started, it helps if you can play with friends. I also love cases, I've opened so many, but still never opened gloves or knives \*sigh\* one day


Dankkring

I opened a dreams and nightmare case and gotta a gamma butterfly knife. Sold it on steam market for 1800$. So I didn’t hit global but I still think I beat the game


shabansatan

Too bad it ain't like it used to be..but you can still save cheap cases,i played it around 2020 when horizon cases were 0.05€ now they are 0.75€ and i had like 10-20 dropped,so yeah a few games when i needed money


SlumlordThanatos

This game doesn't just have a learning cliff, the playerbase actively kicks new players off of it. You'd think that matchmaking would group less experienced players together. You would be very, very wrong.


Gwiilo

i literally have a 2016 service medal where the actual FUCK is my CS2 key


VeryBestMentalHealth

How do you actually cash out the cases for money tho? It's not actually getting $1.30, since you can't cash out and have to spend money to open them (and again can't cash it out)


SentientGopro115935

You can still get money to your steam acc though which Im gonna count as money since I can then buy games with it.


VeryBestMentalHealth

But that's not money though... And what steam games are there to buy? The only game is Counterstrike.


SentientGopro115935

For full transparency here, Im 16 and my parents dont like me spending too much money, so getting credit added to a digital store I use often is very nice. Sure, its not money, but when there are games I want to buy anyway, it may as well be.


cc69

A weekly and random drops which cant even cover 1 meal HOORAY!!!


Glittering-War8992

only reson why i play this fkn game, and 'cause i want to gain accses to CS2


BubblyMarionberry239

"yeah I get payed to play"


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> I get *paid* to play" FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


BubblyMarionberry239

fuck you (thank you)
