If you’ve played Counter-Strike for any length of time over the years, then you’ll no doubt be aware of the flashy skins available from CS2 cases. These varied containers can feature anything from a basic Industrial or Mil-Spec Grade cosmetic for a mediocre weapon to those illustrious Covert (Red) wraps, and even Contraband (Gold) items such as gloves and knives.
It’s no secret that the CS2 skins market is big business for Valve. The company reportedly makes around 15% commission on each Steam Market transaction, and that’s to say nothing of the full market value of keys needed to open the caches in the first place.
