The Operation Riptide Case is rare and expensive. For the price of just one case, you could buy a whole inventory of cool budget skins. Today, the CS.MONEY Blog is going to tell you about every skin from the Operation Riptide Case.
Skins give you the best Counter-Strike experience and show off your style. We can’t mind-read your perfect inventory, but you can grab everything you need here at great prices!
Is the Operation Riptide Case rare?
Yes. That’s because you can’t get it from drops anymore. This means the number of cases is limited, and there will never be more. That’s the main reason it’s so expensive.
Rare drop from the Operation Riptide Case
The “golden” drop in the Operation Riptide Case is five different knives, each available in six finishes. The most valuable finish is, of course, Gamma Doppler.
And the best knife here is the Butterfly Knife. Together, they form one of the priciest knife combos in the game.
If you get a bit less lucky, you might still get a knife with the Lore or Autotronic finish. All the knife models are solid — though not everyone loves the Shadow Daggers.
Covert skins in the Operation Riptide Case
As usual, there are two red-tier skins. The AK-47 Leet Museo isn’t the most expensive AK skin, but it has its fans. The Desert Eagle Ocean Drive is inspired by the famous Miami street, with bright neon colors to match. It’s one of the most popular Desert Eagle skins overall.
Classified skins in the Operation Riptide Case
There are three pink-tier skins here, each with its own fanbase — but none can be called all-time hits.
The problem with the SSG 08 Turbo Peek is the weapon itself — not many players use it. Still, its retro-wave look mixed with 90s bubble gum wrapper vibes wins over plenty of people.
The Glock-18 Snack Attack is totally unique, but not everyone loves the fast-food theme. The Mac-10 Toybox is fairly popular, but faces tough competition from other MAC-10 skins.
Restricted skins in the Operation Riptide Case
There are five purple-tier skins:
All of them look great. Mount Fuji might be the best MP9 skin in the game. ZX Spectron keeps the retro theme going, while BI83 Spectrum shows off a colorful bismuth crystal pattern.
Mil-Spec skins in the Operation Riptide Case
Finally, here are the seven blue-tier skins:
- USP-S Black Lotus
- XM1014 Watchdog
- Dual Berettas Tread
- MP7 Guerrilla
- PP-Bizon Lumen
- AUG Plague
- G3SG1 Keeping Tabs
The standout here is the USP-S Black Lotus — a beautiful and cheap skin that could easily be a tier higher. You can even spot it in pro matches, even though those players have access to pretty much any skin they want. Some pros really value this one.
Because of its rarity and amazing “golden” drops, the Operation Riptide Case is now quite expensive. But many of its other skins don’t cost much. If you don’t want to gamble on opening cases, head over to CS.MONEY and pick the exact skins you want for low prices!
