Contraband
Contraband
The rarest tier — only the M4A4 Howl and AWP Dragon Lore (not actually Contraband) exist here. Contraband skins were removed from the game due to copyright and can never be unboxed again, making them the most valuable skins in existence.
Covert
Covert (Red)
The highest tier available from cases. Less than 0.26% unbox rate. Includes legendary skins like AWP Dragon Lore, AK-47 Wild Lotus and M4A1-S Knight. These are the skins every player dreams of.
Classified
Classified (Pink)
Roughly 3.2% unbox rate. Includes fan favourites like Glock-18 Fade, AK-47 Bloodsport and M4A4 Cyber Security. Great mid-tier value — looks premium without the insane price tag.
Restricted
Restricted (Purple)
Around 15.98% unbox rate. Solid, affordable skins — often the best value tier. M4A4 In Living Color, AK-47 Neon Rider and AWP Asiimov live here. Great for budget loadouts.
Mil-Spec
Mil-Spec (Blue)
~79.92% of case openings. The most common tier — but don't sleep on it. AK-47 Case Hardened and Glock Water Elemental are blue-tier skins worth real money on the right patterns.
Consumer / Industrial
Consumer & Industrial Grade
Drop-only skins, not from cases. Generally very low value but great for beginners or anyone who wants a themed loadout for a few cents. Some have surprisingly clean designs.
