Skins change how a weapon looks. Patterns and wear change how that copy looks. They are not a second buy menu.
What the official game says
The experience page describes a cosmetic system with rare skins, patterns, and wear, separate from cash spent on weapons and utility. Update videos have shown knife inspect animations and named bundles. They have not shown a damage bonus for a finish.
Cases named in public catalogs
These names appear in cosmetic listings or code names. Drop tables are not official numbers, so they are not repeated here.
- Butterfly Case, also tied to the expired BUTTERFLYCASE code
- Glove Case and Glove Case 2, with expired codes GLOVECASE2 (250 Credits) and GLOVECASE2026 (45 Credits)
- Winter Case 2025
- Chrysalis, Finishline Case, Lionheart, Apex Case, and Case #1 in public item catalogs
Open a case only after you read the in-game price and contents. A Credit code makes that purchase easier. It does not change the odds.
Trade-up contracts
Update 1.1.1 on 20 July 2026 added trade-up contracts. The official video says you exchange 10 skins of the same rarity for one skin of the next rarity. The path shown is blue to purple, purple to pink, and pink to red. Red skins cannot be traded up into golds. The 10 inputs are consumed. Check wear and pattern on anything you are willing to lose before you confirm.
Knives and gloves
Butterfly, skeleton, and stiletto knives received rare inspect animations in the 6 June 2026 sounds update. Karambit and flip knife names appear on cosmetic listings, including Butterfly Knife | Fade and Karambit finishes. Gloves such as Sport Gloves also appear as cosmetics. None of those listings are combat stats.
The 6 June update also shipped the Super Soaker bundle for USP, M4A1-S, and sawed-off. A March 2026 report described a Credits Starter Pack with SSG 08 | Racer8, Desert Eagle | Racer8, 150 Credits, and one Charm Pack. Treat the pack contents as reported, not as a current shop guarantee.
Trading without getting cleaned out
The official channel posted both a trading trailer and a short scam-avoidance video. Practical rules from those topics and from how trade-ups work:
- Compare the exact finish, wear, and pattern, not the weapon name alone.
- Do not judge a trade by the number of skins on each side.
- Keep the trade inside the game's own trade or marketplace screen.
- Refuse requests for account cookies, off-platform middlemen, or a second trade that happens later.
- Public dollar prices move and are not developer prices. A 17 October 2026 third-party median list is a market snapshot, not an in-game value.
The repeat-chance calculator on this site only does arithmetic on a percent you type. It is not a case-odds table.
