Some of them are made by Valve, and some are picked from the Steam Workshop. Skins come in various patterns, floats, and rarity types that impact their price. In terms of rarity, for example, there are seven types of skins: Consumer, Industrial, Mil-spec, Restricted, Classified, Covert, and Contraband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cosmetics haven\u2019t been around since the beginning, though. Let\u2019s dive into history and learn about the oldest (CS:GO) CS2 skins.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/What-are-the-Oldest-CSGO-Skins2.jpg\" alt=\"Esports 2013 Case glowing at the center, surrounded by classic skins like AWP | BOOM, AK-47 | Redline, and P90 | Death by Kitty.

With the new update, players got a chance to receive a free case after finishing a match on a VAC-secured server. This mechanic still works for everyone. Free cosmetics are getting dropped upon completing matches in official game modes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Arms Deal update, Valve also announced that players will be able to upload their own weapon finishes and custom knife models through the CS:GO Workshop. Most up-voted skins would get a chance to appear in future CS:GO updates. In 2014, developers released the first weapon case with community-made finishes, the Winter Offensive Weapon Case. It featured 12 weapon skins created by the community, including M4A4 | Asiimov.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with the first gun skins from the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/open\/weapon\">CS:GO Weapon Case<\/a>, Valve brought the melee skins into the game: Karambit, Bayonet, Gut Knife, M9 Bayonet, and Flip Knife. Every style of the knife skin comes in one of the thirteen finishes: Vanilla, Blue Steel, Boreal Forest, Case Hardened, Crimson Web, Fade, Forest DDPAT, Night, Safari Mesh, Scorched, Slaughter, Stained, and Urban Masked.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/What-are-the-Oldest-CSGO-Skins3.jpg\" alt=\"CS:GO Bravo Case glowing in the center, surrounded by classic skins like AK-47 | Fire Serpent, P90 | Emerald Dragon, and Desert Eagle | Golden Koi. Representing one of the oldest CS:GO cases, this image highlights rare and legendary skins from the early days of the game.\" class=\"wp-image-964\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Apart from that, StatTrak\u2122 modules also came along, giving you an up-to-date record of every kill you get with that weapon. StatTrak\u2122 also first appeared in the\u00a0CS2 (CS:GO) Weapon Case, meaning that even the oldest CS:GO skin can have this feature. It is a great way to show off but bear in mind that teamkills do not count (anyway, team damage is bad, don\u2019t be that guy!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before 2017, there was no information available about the real odds of obtaining different tier items by opening CS:GO weapon skin cases. However, due to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamedeveloper.com\/pc\/china-s-ministry-of-culture-introduces-new-online-gaming-regulations\">Chinese Ministry of Culture&#8217;s Online Gaming<\/a> Operating Regulations and supervising requests,&nbsp;Valve was obliged to reveal the odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the ratio data Valve displayed publicly in 2017:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mil-spec to Restricted is 1:5.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mil-spec to Classified is 1:25.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mil-spec to Covert is 1:125.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mil-spec to Rare Special Item is 2:625.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Normal to StatTrak\u2122 is 1:10.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With this ratio data, we can calculate the odds of getting all the rarity tier items in percentage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mil-spec &#8211; 79.92%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restricted &#8211; 15.98%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Classified &#8211; 3.2%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Covert &#8211; 0.64%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rare Special Item &#8211; 0.26%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you know a bit of CS2 (CS:GO) skins history and what your chances are of getting a knife skin from a case. Let\u2019s get back to the topic, though. To find out what the oldest CS:GO skin is, we will figure out which cases came first.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_First_CS_GO_Cases\"><\/span><strong>The First CS:GO Cases<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three types of CS:GO weapon skin cases: Black, Yellow, and eSports. Both black and eSports contain skins made by Valve, but a portion of the latter\u2019s key profit supports the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive eSports scene. Yellow cases consist of community-made finishes picked from the Steam Workshop. A portion of the yellow cases\u2019 profit goes to the creators of the skins that made it into the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first-ever weapon skin case was released nine years ago.
