How to get cs go crate keys for free update#

Valve very rarely announces a weapon case in advance of the update that makes it available ingame. The release date for weapon cases has never been consistent. These weapon cases have been ordered by release date with the most recent at the top. It could be purchased from the Operation Riptide store within the CS:GO game client for 2 stars. The Operation Riptide Case was available to players who had activated an Operation Premium Pass. It could be purchased from the Operation Broken Fang store within the CS:GO game client for 2 stars. The Operation Broken Fang Case was available to players who had activated an Operation Premium Pass. This was the second operation weapon case to not include the word 'Operation', though it did include the name of the operation itself, unlike the Falchion Case from the Bloodhound operation. The Shattered Web Case was available exclusively to players through the battlepass system introduced in Operation Shattered Web.

As a result this heavily limited the total number of Hydra cases that were awarded to operation pass holders, which in turn has driven up the price of the case higher than any other operation case (with the exception of the Bravo case).Īt the conclusion of Operation Hydra the case was immediately moved to the rare drop pool. The Operation Hydra Case was the first operation case to be severely restricted in volume with each player only being eligible to obtain up to a maximum of 9 cases. This would be the final operation weapon case to be made available after the end of an operation. The Operation Wildfire Case was available exclusively to players throughout the duration of Operation Wildfire.Īt the conclusion of the operation the Wildfire Case was made available to all players. It was also the first operation weapon case to not feature the name of the operation itself, with the case being named 'Falchion' after the new Falchion knife it introduced as opposed to 'Bloodhound'. The Falchion Case was available exclusively to players throughout the duration of Operation Bloodhound. The Operation Vanguard Weapon Case was available exclusively to players throughout the duration of Operation Vanguard. The Operation Phoenix Weapon Case was available exclusively to players throughout the duration of Operation Phoenix. The Operation Bravo Case was available to all players with or without the operation pass for the duration of Operation Bravo (19 September 2013 - 5 February 2014), but players who had activated the operation pass had a significantly higher chance of receiving a Bravo case drop. It remains to date as the only operation to not feature a new weapon case. The first CS:GO operation known as Operation Payback did not include an exclusive weapon case.
