A knife is the crown jewel of an inventory in Counter-Strike 2—a status symbol and a beautiful collectable. Acquiring a knife in CS2 isn’t as hard as it might seem. There are a few methods to do so, and the CS.MONEY Blog is here to walk you through each one.
There are hundreds of different skins in Counter-Strike 2. Get your ideal skin without otherpaying on CS.MONEY!
How Many CS2 Cases Do You Need to Open to Get a Knife?
The first way to get a knife in CS2 is by opening cases. If you choose this method, there are three key points to keep in mind:
- The knife from a case is random in appearance and wear level, but it will always come from the specific list of knives assigned to that case.
- Some cases have gloves instead of knives, while souvenir sets and certain other special cases may not have rare items like knives at all.
- The chance of pulling a knife from a case is roughly 1 in 400. There’s no secret trick to increase your chances; you could get a knife from your very first case—or not at all after opening 1,500 boxes.
This option isn’t the most optimal since the outcome is entirely based on luck. CS.MONEY doesn’t recommend opening cases specifically to try to get a knife.
Can You Get a Knife From Weekly Drops in CS2?
Knives don’t drop directly as part of CS2’s weekly rewards. However, certain rare items from the weekly drop, such as CS:GO Weapon Case or Operation Bravo Case, can sometimes be worth nearly as much as a knife. You can trade these cases or skins for a knife with another player.
As with case openings, this method is purely dependent on luck. The odds of getting a CS:GO Weapon Case are extremely low, and even then, its value will only cover the cost of the cheapest knives in CS2.
Where is the Best Place to Buy a CS2 Knife?
The most straightforward method to acquire a knife in CS2 is to buy or trade for one with another player. This can be done either via Steam trading or through the Steam Community Market. However, both methods have their drawbacks. For example, the Steam Community Market mostly features knives in the low to mid-price range. The rarest and most expensive knives are often unavailable there.
The best way to get a knife in CS2 is to purchase one on CS.MONEY. Both the Trade and Market sections offer a wide selection of knives, including rare ones, often at surprisingly reasonable prices. In the Trade section, all transactions are instant—just select the skin you like and buy it. You can top up your balance with either money or CS2 items.
There are multiple ways to get a knife in CS2. The easiest, fastest, and most reliable method is to buy one. The most cost-effective place to buy a knife is CS.MONEY, whether through the Trade or Market sections. Happy gaming, and may you find the perfect blade to complement your inventory!
