With Valve’s new update, many players receive cases as a weekly reward. But if you happen to get Recoil Case, is it worth your attention? Maybe you’re thinking about opening a bunch of cases and don’t know which one to choose. Today, we’ll look at the contents of this case and discuss whether it’s worth it.
In article you will find:
Understanding Recoil Case Skins
You may receive one of the cases as a weekly reward when you play the game. These are usually inexpensive cases that many players already own. Each case contains a reward in the form of skins, which can be of different quality and rarity, but we will talk about that a little later.
To get the reward that is in the case, you need to buy a key that costs $2.50. The reward from the case is random. You can open the case and get the rarest item on the first try or open 20 cases and not get anything valuable.
Recoil Case is one of the CS2 cases that you can currently receive as a weekly reward. It was released on July 1, 2022, and it contains 17 skins and one main reward: random gloves.
Factors for Evaluating Recoil Case Skins
To fully appreciate the value of both the skins and Recoil Case, we need to examine them from every conceivable perspective, beginning with their rarity.
Rarity
Recoil Case is no exception and, like all its predecessors, it contains skins divided by rarity:
- Industrial Grade (Light Blue)
- Mil-Spec (Blue)
- Restricted (Purple)
- Classified (Pink)
- Covert (Red)
- Extraordinary (Gold)
In Recoil Case, the golden reward is a pair of gloves. Like the knife, they are suitable for both terrorists and counter-terrorists. However, the most important thing is that you will always see them, whether you are playing with a pistol, a rifle, or an AWP. The gloves are always in plain sight, which is why this is an additional plus for this case.
Yes, the gloves are not as expensive as the knife, but you will enjoy them for longer.
Exterior Quality
Like any other skins, those in Recoil Case can be of varying quality. How can you determine the quality? It’s quite simple. When inspecting a skin, simply hover over the icon with the letter “i” and view the information displayed in the Wear Rating section.
For beginners, it can be difficult to understand what these numbers mean, so here is some information on how to understand skin quality.
| SKIN EXTERIOR | FLOAT VALUE |
| Factory New | 0.00 – 0.07 |
| Minimal Wear | 0.07 – 0.15 |
| Field-Tested | 0.15 – 0.37 |
| Well-Worn | 0.37 – 0.44 |
| Battle-Scarred | 0.44 – 1.00 |
We trust that this information is of service to you. Now, we shall focus on the aesthetic and visual appeal of the CS2 skins contained in Recoil Case.
Design and Aesthetics
Recoil Case is one of the few cases where most skins are genuinely good-looking. Take, for example, SG 553 | Dragon Tech. This skin is not particularly rare, but it is a sight to behold. It’s not just some cheap skin. The intricate details and vibrant colors make it a skin that you will be proud to wield in battle.
It is why the design and aesthetics of the CS2 skins in Recoil Case are on a good level, which is another small plus for the overall rating of the case.
List of the Best Recoil Case Skins
Now, let’s take a closer look at the skins and examine what exactly is depicted on them. Let’s also discuss the message that the authors of those drawings wanted to convey.
Recoil Case Gloves
The most important Recoil Case reward is the gloves. Gloves, like knives, can be used to play for both sides. Whether you are a terrorist or a counter-terrorist, it doesn’t matter. The most important thing is that the gloves will always be with you.
If you are lucky and you get the gold reward, you will receive one of 24 possible pairs of gloves. They can be Sport Gloves | Slingshot, Specialist Gloves | Marble Fade, Moto Gloves | Finish Line, or others. You can find the full list here!
Each pair of gloves is unique in its own way, and it will definitely be a successful opening if you get at least one of them.
USP-S | Printstream
“WHITE_1; BLACK_1; PEARLESCENT_1; SILENCED_1; PISTOL_1;“
USP-S | Printstream is one of the most popular skins for USP-S, having reached this position in just two years since its introduction. Its popularity is due to both its appearance and its rarity. The skin has a 0.63% drop chance, making it quite difficult to obtain.
Visually, the skin is both incredibly beautiful and simple. The clean white color is adorned with interesting symbols, signs, codes, hearts, and other enigmatic elements that draw attention and make you think and ask questions that have no answers.
Float value range: 0.00 to 0.85
StatTrak™ is available: yes
Starting price: $30.50
AWP | Chromatic Aberration
“(Not so) easy on the eyes… “
AWP | Chromatic Aberration is a less popular skin than its predecessor despite having the same rarity. It is likely due to its design and the presence of more visually appealing skins. However, this is a great skin that is often overlooked.
With the updated lighting mechanics in CS2, AWP | Chromatic Aberration has taken on a new life. The purple hue is now much brighter and more vibrant, the color transitions are more pronounced, and the blur effect on the skin looks even better than before.
Visually, the skin looks like you’re looking at it after a flashbang explosion. Your eyes are watering, and everything you look at is blurry. It is likely the effect the author was trying to achieve with this skin.
The skin is also decorated with in-game kill icons, scopes, and other small details that blend well together.
Float value range: 0.00 to 0.70

AK-47 | Ice Coaled
“Cold to the touch“
While not as rare, AK-47 | Ice Coaled is still a popular skin, taking third place on this list. It is rarely seen on the professional scene, but you will see it quite often in casual matches. It has a simple design and pleasant colors that will be easily combined with your stickers.
The skin is a contrast study, with a blue-green gradient that flows from one part of the weapon to the next. It looks like one part of the weapon is very cold while the other has already warmed up. Overall, the skin is really worth your attention and will be enjoyable to use.
Float value range: 0.00 to 0.77
StatTrak™ is available: yes
Starting price: $5.50
Sawed-Off | Kiss♥Love
“I won’t take no for an answer; I have to have it!“
Sawed-Off | Kiss♥Love is a beautiful and cute skin you can choose for your Sawed-Off. However, the skin is not popular precisely because the weapon is also not popular. Currently, when you can only choose five weapons for two slots in your inventory, Sawed-Off is not popular because most players will choose MAC-10, MP9, XM1014, or other weapons.
These are the times we live in, but if you play with Sawed-Off, then this is a very good skin for your weapon. The skin is a wonderful color, and the girl is a very beautiful girl with beautiful eyes, which can be combined with the new sticker Dystopian Gaze (Lenticular) and make the skin 100 times better.
Float value range: 0.00 to 1.00
StatTrak™ is available: yes
Starting price: $2.60
P250 | Visions
“One crow short of a murder“
P250 is a wonderful pistol, and this case contains an amazing skin for it. P250 | Visions is multicolored and mysterious, raising many questions with few answers. Let’s try to figure out what’s depicted here.
If you look closer at the skin, you can see a girl on the handle dressed in what appears to be Aztec attire. A bird, resembling either a phoenix or a raven, flies above her. It’s not entirely clear which bird it is.
This skin is special not only for its interesting and colorful design with flowers, a girl, a bird, and other elements. The authors also slightly modified the pistol’s trigger, now made with holes inside. It looks fresh and new, which is another reason to praise this case.
Float value range: 0.00 to 0.70

Starting price: $2.65
Dual Berettas | Flora Carnivora
“Help them grow up big and strong“
A pair of monsters crave your attention and sunlight. That’s how you can describe Dual Berettas | Flora Carnivora. It’s a very, very cool idea to create monsters not from animals but rather as if they are plants that grow and devour everything in their path.
The color scheme is incredibly well-chosen, and the beautifully detailed work makes this skin one of the best for your Halloween collection. However, if you’re just looking for an interesting skin, it will also do the job with pleasure.

R8 Revolver | Crazy 8
“Inspired by the events of December 8th, 2015“
It’s not an expensive skin, but it has an interesting history and references. Curious? Then let’s take a look at why R8 Revolver | Crazy 8 has such a design, why it’s called Crazy 8, and what the date, December 8, 2015, tells us.
Let’s start with the last one. On December 8, 2015, an update was released that added R8 Revolver to CS2. Crazy 8 is related to the pistol’s name, “R8”, but why is it “Crazy”? The answer is very simple. When the pistol was first added to the game, it was incredibly overpowered.
However, this was fixed very quickly, but some people still remember it. On release, the pistol had a crazy 100+ damage to the body. This meant that you could almost 100% kill your opponent with one shot. Crazy, right?
However, the design is quite simple. Players who don’t know the history will hardly appreciate the skin and its idea, but for real seasoned gamers, it brings back good memories.
Float value range: 0.00 to 1.00

P90 | Vent Rush
“Do you know how fast you were going?”
This skin is highly underrated, yet it boasts a cool design that perfectly reflects the weapon’s purpose. P90 | Vent Rush is a fantastic work by the author who created this beauty. While the skin doesn’t feature any girls or dragons visually, it’s clear how much effort the author put into it. The author’s desire to convey the essence of this weapon and emphasize it through design is evident.
The skin looks like a handcrafted weapon. The raw metal, electrical insulation tubing, and various scratches and scuffs all blend together harmoniously, conveying the impression that this is a weapon designed for swift and deadly breakthroughs.
Float value range: 0.00 to 0.70
StatTrak™ is available: yes
Starting price: $0.50
SG 553 | Dragon Tech
“That’s not my dragon…“
A rare sight to behold, SG 553 | Dragon Tech is a truly magnificent skin that belies its affordable price. The beautifully chosen colors and the majestic dragon that adorns almost the entire weapon make this skin both eye-catching and highly recognizable. Unfortunately, due to its rarity, the skin does not enjoy widespread popularity.
It can often be found in cases with little to no value. However, if you happen to come across a weapon with a StatTrak counter, you can expect to earn a few dollars.
Float value range: 0.00 to 0.70
StatTrak™ is available: yes
Starting price: $0.48
M249 | Downtown
“A different kind of spray pattern“
M249 is not a very popular weapon, but if you like to hold down the left mouse button and prevent enemies from passing through a narrow passage, then M249 | Downtown is for you. It has no equal in this situation. But most importantly, you’ll be doing it all with a stylish graffiti design that features various arrows, ostensibly indicating the trajectory of your bullets.
Float value range: 0.00 to 0.65
StatTrak™ is available: yes
Starting price: $0.49
M4A4 | Poly Mag
“Standard operating procedure“
M4A4 | Poly Mag is a superb classic style that emphasizes the seriousness of this rifle. The US military used a similar design during Operation Desert Storm. It seems that the author was inspired by this theme and created a very simple yet beautiful and high-quality skin that you can customize with stickers, as the base is perfectly suited for this purpose.
Float value range: 0.00 to 1.00
StatTrak™ is available: yes
Starting price: $0.08
Glock-18 | Winterized
“Freeze!“
Glock-18 | Winterized is another skin that reminds us of reality, like its predecessor. However, this skin is more suitable for police officers performing their duties. This is indicated by the pistol’s inscriptions, “Elite CREW,” and the special camouflage design.
The skin is inexpensive but looks great in the game, so we recommend paying attention to it if you like it.
Float value range: 0.00 to 1.00
StatTrak™ is available: yes
Starting price: $0.08
FAMAS | Meow 36
“Technically it’s four cats, but who’s counting?“
FAMAS | Meow 36 is another possible drop from this case, but in our opinion, the design isn’t very successful. The skin lacks color, even though the idea was implemented quite well. On the skin, you can see a cat’s face in the upper part and huge numbers “36” stretched across the entire body of the weapon.
Float value range: 0.00 to 1.00
StatTrak™ is available: yes
Starting price: $0.08
Negev | Drop Me
“If the stop sign doesn’t convince you the stream of bullets will“
Among the myriad skins, one stands out as a curious and intriguing oddity: Negev | Drop Me. This skin is a striking visual representation of a restraining weapon, its very appearance blaring a stark warning: “Stop, or my bullets will stop you.” Although the skin looks worn out and scarred, there are reasons for this.
The most striking feature is the number “7355608” emblazoned on the handle. This number, known to many as the code from the bomb, raises a chilling question: who wrote it? Maybe it was a forgetful terrorist? The answer remains a mystery, adding to the skin’s dark and intriguing allure.
Float value range: 0.00 to 1.00
StatTrak™ is available: yes
Starting price: $0.08
Galil AR | Destroyer
“Destroy them all“
Galil AR | Destroyer is a minimalist skin that may not be the most eye-catching, but it possesses an understated charm. The skin features a tasteful mesh design near the muzzle, the word “Destroyer” emblazoned on the gas tube, and a simple yet elegant overall aesthetic. The skin is not particularly expressive, so it is often overlooked but in vain. The work is really of high quality.
Float value range: 0.00 to 0.70
StatTrak™ is available: yes
Starting price: $0.08
UMP-45 | Roadblock
“Seek alternate routes“
The custom-made UMP-45 | Roadblock looks simply stylish and very serious. After all, black always suits villains, and that’s exactly the case with this skin. The dark colors, combined with the bronze, create a very harmonious and dignified skin. This skin is a perfect fit for those who want to make a statement on the battlefield and leave their enemies in the dust.
Float value range: 0.00 to 1.00
StatTrak™ is available: yes
Starting price: $0.08
MAC-10 | Monkeyflage
“Spunky monkeys!“
Behold, MAC-10 | Monkeyflage, a skin so exuberantly charming that it instantly captivates the beholder. This gang of monkeys will definitely bring you money for killing your opponent. This skin is crafted with love and whimsical delight and radiates infectious positivity. If you don’t own such a cool skin yet, we definitely recommend you buy it because the price for FN is only $1.
Float value range: 0.00 to 1.00
StatTrak™ is available: yes
Starting price: $0.08
