In CS2, the in-game drop system is a way for players to receive new skins, stickers, and other in-game items as a reward for playing the game. These items, known as “drops,” can be obtained by playing matches in any game mode, including competitive, premier, and deathmatch. In this blog, the CS2 Drop system will be explained!
CS2 Drop System Explained
With the release of CS2, the way drops work have been changed. Every week, players are able to receive a new Weekly Care Package. By gaining enough XP throughout the week and leveling up, you will receive a weekly care package. To level up in CS2, you will need a total of 5000 XP.
The first slot will always be a case. The other 3 slots are reserved for skins and graffiti’s. Here’s what the Weekly Care Package looks like:
Can you get multiple case drops in CS2?
As of june 2023, it is no longer possible to get multiple case drops in a single week.
CS2 Rare Drops
When you receive a case drop, it’s usually from the active drop pool – I’ll explain that in a moment. However, there’s a slight chance you might get a rare weapon case. These rare weapon cases, sometimes called ‘discontinued’, are extremely scarce. In fact, some players report only getting one such drop in a year. According to player-collected data, the odds of receiving a rare case drop stand at 1%.
Among the more expensive rare weapon cases are the CSGO Weapon case, Bravo case, and Winter Offensive Weapon Case. On the more affordable end, you’ll find cases like the Danger Zone, Prisma, and CS20 cases.
What CS2 Cases still drop?
Currently there are 5 cases that are in the active drop pool. These include the Recoil case, the Dreams & Nightmare case, the Snakebite case, the Fracture case and the Revolution Case. Cases that are not in the active drop pool are still being dropped, but at a lesser rate. You can check out CSGODatabase for all the available drops in 2023, which include all the rare drops.
CSGO Weapon Drops Rarity
In CS:GO, the drop chances for different weapon rarities can vary. Here is a general breakdown of the drop chances for each rarity level:
- Consumer Grade (white) – These are the most common weapon skins in the game, and they have a relatively high drop chance. If you have played CSGO Before, you have definetly gotten one of these before.
- Industrial Grade (light blue) – These skins are less common than Consumer Grade skins, but they still have a relatively high drop chance. You are likely to receive an Industrial Grade skin as a drop after several matches .
- Mil-Spec (dark blue) – These skins are less common than Industrial Grade skins, and they have a lower drop chance. You are likely to receive a Mil-Spec skin as a drop after several dozen matches or more.
- Restricted (purple) – These skins are less common than Mil-Spec skins, and they have a lower drop chance. You are likely to receive a Restricted skin as a drop after several hundred matches or more.
- Classified (pink) – These skins are less common than Restricted skins, and they have a lower drop chance. You are likely to receive a Classified skin as a drop after several thousand matches or more.
- Covert (red) – These are the rarest and most valuable weapon skins in the game , and they have the lowest drop chance. You are likely to receive a Covert skin as a drop after many thousands of matches or more.
Conclusion
Overall, the drop system in CS2 is designed to encourage both noob and pro gamers to keep playing the game and to reward them for their time they have put into the game and dedication. While it can be challenging to get a rare or valuable skin as a drop , the excitement of potentially receiving a new drop keeps many CS2 enthusiasts coming back to the game!
