Knives in the Shadow Case

They come in 13 finishes, including Fade, Crimson Web, Slaughter, Case Hardened, Urban Masked, Blue Steel, Night and Stained, plus the plain "vanilla" version. With a 0.26% chance per case, you would expect one gold drop in roughly every 385 openings on average, though luck can be much better or worse.
Is the Shadow Case worth opening?
On average, no official CS2 case returns as much value as it costs: each opening costs a $2.49 key plus the case, while most drops are Mil-Spec skins worth a fraction of that. People open cases for the chance at a Covert skin or a knife. If you want to try your luck without spending anything, our free simulator uses the same odds.
