When you're not doing the clutch plays to win the round for your team in CS: GO, you're probably on the hunt for the next weapon skin you want.
Skins are the name of the game for the in-game cases that you can open, with each case guaranteeing that it will give you one of a specific group of skins. The easiest way to get a holster is to just play the game. Cases are randomly awarded to players at the end of each match, with no rhyme or reason. The other way is to buy them on the community market. The prices of the cases can vary, with some being incredibly inexpensive and others quite expensive.
You may also want to avoid paying money for the case, as you'll need a key to open each case, which costs $ 2,50. Each key will only open one case, so it may be best to focus on using your money for those.
Whichever way you get the case, you might be wondering which ones are worth opening up. There are a lot of cases that give you great skins and have the best amount of rewards to give, and we've got the best of the best here on this list.
Chroma 2 case
If you look through the community, the Chroma 2 case is considered one of the best options for cases. The skins in this box are all worth your while, even the most common ones. It is virtually guaranteed that you will be happy with whatever you get out of this business.
