CS20: The Anniversary Case
One of the reasons why the CS20 Case is unique is basically why it was created. This year, the Counter-Strike series turns 25. The CS20 Case came out five years ago. As you probably already guessed, it is dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the release of the original version of the game. No other case in the game is so strongly connected with the history of Counter-Strike.
In addition to the name, the case also differs in appearance. This is not the usual yellow box, which almost all cases from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive were. The case is painted gold. It looks very stylish and emphasizes the special occasion that led to the appearance of the case.
Golden FAMAS, The Main Hero of CS20
Not only is the CS20 Сase literally golden, but its contents are also golden. We’re talking specifically about FAMAS Commemoration. Here’s the thing. You see, for a long time, Valve refused to add golden skins of any kind to CS:GO. The first golden AK appeared in the Workshop a decade ago, but it was never made to get into the game.
And FAMAS Commemoration changed all that. It was the first golden skin in CS. Of course, it paled in comparison to the fiery AWP Wildfire. But it was the FAMAS Commemoration that paved the way for other golden skins, such as AK-47 Gold Arabesque.
Unique Knife: Classic Knife with Skins
There are several cases in the game that contain knives unavailable in other cases. This list of cases with unique knives includes:
- Falchion Case and Falchion Knife
- Operation Breakout Case and The Butterfly Knife
- Huntsman Case and Huntsman Knife
- Shadow Case and Shadow Daggers
- Wildfire Case and Bowie Knife
- CS20 Case and Classic Knife
Unlike other knives, the Classic Knife is not just a blade made from scratch. Experienced players will immediately notice that it’s a modification of the standard knife from previous versions of the game. It has not only a special nostalgia effect, but also an interesting inspection animation. During the inspection, the character throws the knife up in the iar, juggling.
References and Easter Eggs Related to Counter-Strike Series
Another cool thing about CS20 Case is that it has many references to Counter-Strike. Each skin in one way or another refers to some element from past games or the history of the CS series. The most interesting are:
- AWP Wildfire is inspired by the Operation of the same name. In addition, it also has the Operation’s logo on it.
- MP9 Hydra is also related to an Operation, Hydra this time.
- P90 Nostalgia basically throws two CS 1.6 Main Menu agents at you, which is an excellent touch.
- Glock-18 Sacrifice is inspired by olofmeister’s incredible round take at ESL One: Cologne 2014. The Swedish player ran into a mollie and managed to defuse the C4, burning up the next second.
- Dual Berettas Elite 1.6 pretty much doubles the design of Berettas from CS 1.6.
There are also more “secret” references. For example, FAMAS Decommissioned is made using objects from old versions of the Nuke map.
Is CS20 Case A Good Investment?
The CS20 Case is a rare drop item. This means that it drops weekly yet much less often than cases from the regular pool. Does this make the CS20 case a good investment? Let’s look at the market:
- Steam offers 37,000 CS20 Cases on the Marketplace.
- Its price has been slowly decreasing for over a year now and is now ~60 cents per piece.
- The Knife and rare skins from the case do not have a special status in the Community.
Summarizing the above factors, we can conclude that the CS20 Case is currently a risky investment. You should invest your money in it at your own risk.
CS20 is a unique case in its own way. Its Classic Knife will surely make older players shed a tear of nostalgia. The skins are also top-notch: bright, well-made, and connected to the lore of CS or history of the series.
