Fracture Case: Skins, Odds & Value
The Fracture Case CS2 is usually a losing open. It has two strong Covert skins, the highest ordinary weapon rarity, plus a 0.26% chance at a rare special knife. Those hits are real, but most opens land in the Mil-Spec or Restricted tiers and return far less than the entry cost. The sensible approach is to open it for the experience of a single roll, not because the math favors repeated openings.
Expected value means the average return after a very large number of openings. It is not what one specific case will return. A rare knife can appear on the first open. It can also fail to appear after hundreds because every opening is independent.
For sellers, the useful question is different: did the item you pulled have enough demand, wear, StatTrak value, or pattern appeal to sell now rather than sit in inventory? The Fracture Collection has liquid red skins, but its common outcomes are mainly low-value filler.
Methodology: item facts, rarity, float caps, and collection data come from the CS2 item database. Market levels are approximate as of 2026.
What Drops From This Case
Fracture Case has 17 weapon finishes and a rare-special knife pool. Covert is the highest tier for normal weapon skins. Extraordinary (★) is separate from Covert and applies to rare knives.
The tier odds apply to every weapon case. They do not mean each skin inside a tier has the same resale value. A cheap Mil-Spec is still the most likely result by a wide margin.
Is It Worth Opening? Expected Value & ROI
Opening a Fracture Case costs about $2.8 per open: the case is about $0.27 plus the $2.49 US in-client key before tax.
The key has a fixed US store price before tax. It is not a global market price, since regional pricing and tax can change the final amount. The case itself is tradable and its market price moves with supply and demand.
The expected return is roughly 18% of what you spend. Put simply, an average opening returns about $0.50 in skin value against the roughly $2.8 opening cost. That works out to an expected ROI of about -82%, with an average loss of about 82% per opening.
That result is driven by the blue and purple outcomes:
- 79.92% of openings are Mil-Spec.
- 15.98% are Restricted.
- Only 3.20% reach Classified.
- A red Covert arrives 0.64% of the time, around 1 in 156 openings.
- A rare special knife arrives 0.26% of the time, around 1 in 385 openings.
The two reds, Printstream and Legion of Anubis, do give Fracture more appeal than a case with weak Covert finishes. They do not change the overall return math. A knife pull is not “due” after misses, either. Every key starts a fresh independent roll.
If you are comparing openings purely by return estimates, Best CS2 Cases to Open in 2026 (ROI Ranked) is the better next read. If you already opened Fracture and hit a decent finish, compare the actual float and demand before deciding whether to keep it or cash out.
Rare Special Items
The rare-special tier has 0.26% odds per open, about 1 in 385. These knives sit outside the numbered weapon-skin ranking because they are Extraordinary (★) rarity, not Covert. The pool contains 52 model and finish combinations, and a knife model alone does not determine the value.
★ Nomad Knife | Crimson Web
★ Nomad Knife | Crimson Web is the headline Fracture knife pull. Clean web placement and lower wear matter because the Crimson Web finish can look dramatically different across floats. The item definition starts at 0.060, so only a narrow 0.060–0.070 slice can be Factory New.
Sell ★ Nomad Knife | Crimson Web Buy ★ Nomad Knife | Crimson Web
★ Skeleton Knife | Fade
★ Skeleton Knife | Fade combines the strongest baseline model in this group with a premium finish. Its 0.000–0.080 float cap reaches Factory New and only a thin Minimal Wear range, which keeps clean examples central to the appeal. Fade percentage means how much of the blade receives the gold Fade treatment, and it can separate two otherwise similar examples.
Sell ★ Skeleton Knife | Fade Buy ★ Skeleton Knife | Fade
★ Survival Knife | Crimson Web
★ Survival Knife | Crimson Web is a serious rare-tier outcome, although the model generally attracts less baseline attention than Skeleton or Nomad. Buyers inspect these closely for web placement and visible scratch coverage. A low float is useful, but the best visual result is not determined by float alone.
Sell ★ Survival Knife | Crimson Web Buy ★ Survival Knife | Crimson Web
★ Skeleton Knife | Case Hardened
★ Skeleton Knife | Case Hardened has the widest possible float range, from 0.000 to 1.000. Its pattern index, a separate number that selects where colors appear on the finish, matters more than the float for blue-gem potential. Blue-gem tiers are community conventions based on approximate blue coverage, not official Valve categories.
Sell ★ Skeleton Knife | Case Hardened Buy ★ Skeleton Knife | Case Hardened
★ Nomad Knife | Case Hardened
★ Nomad Knife | Case Hardened can be ordinary-looking or collector-grade depending on the pattern index. A single seed occurs in roughly 0.1% of drops for that skin, since there are 1,000 possible pattern seeds. That seed frequency does not represent the chance of unboxing the knife itself.

Top Fracture Case Drops Compared
Ranked Fracture Case Weapon Skins
1. Desert Eagle | Printstream
Desert Eagle | Printstream is Fracture’s most broadly demanded normal weapon hit. The black-and-white finish has staying power because it works as a clean standalone Deagle rather than relying on a rare pattern. StatTrak, a kill counter available on eligible weapon skins, can add another demand layer.
Its 0.800 float cap reaches every standard wear tier, including Battle-Scarred. Better wear usually matters most for resale, while the item’s strong base demand gives sellers more liquidity than most case drops.
Sell Desert Eagle | Printstream Buy Desert Eagle | Printstream
2. AK-47 | Legion of Anubis
AK-47 | Legion of Anubis is the other red and a usable AK finish at every wear level. Its detailed gold-and-blue artwork is the draw. It is not a pattern-dependent item, so pricing is easier to judge than Case Hardened knives.
The 0.700 cap allows all five wear tiers. Factory New and low-float Minimal Wear copies tend to attract the cleaner premium, while ordinary Field-Tested copies are the more practical cash-out outcome.
Sell AK-47 | Legion of Anubis Buy AK-47 | Legion of Anubis
3. M4A4 | Tooth Fairy
M4A4 | Tooth Fairy is the most recognizable Classified result in the case. It has a character-focused design and lands at 3.20% for the full pink tier, so the individual skin is still much more common than either red.
A 0.730 cap means every wear tier is available. It is a reasonable keeper if you play M4A4, but a standard copy is usually a mid-value pull rather than a reason to keep opening.

Sell M4A4 | Tooth Fairy Buy M4A4 | Tooth Fairy
4. Glock-18 | Vogue
Glock-18 | Vogue has a loud comic-book style that gives it more personality than a typical low-end pistol finish. It is one of three Classified skins, so its chance comes from the 3.20% pink tier rather than the far lower red tier.
The 0.750 cap reaches Battle-Scarred. Condition changes the finish, but the core look remains identifiable across normal wear. Low-float and StatTrak versions are the copies worth checking before a quick sale.
Sell Glock-18 | Vogue Buy Glock-18 | Vogue
5. XM1014 | Entombed
XM1014 | Entombed is the third Classified finish. The Egyptian-inspired design gives it a distinct visual identity, but XM1014 demand is naturally narrower than AK, M4A4, or Desert Eagle demand.
Its 0.500 cap still reaches Battle-Scarred, but only from 0.450 to 0.500. That is a useful reminder that float caps come from the item definition, not from visible market listings.
Sell XM1014 | Entombed Buy XM1014 | Entombed
6. Tec-9 | Brother
Tec-9 | Brother is a Restricted outcome with a full 0.000–1.000 float range. That makes every wear tier possible, from Factory New through heavily worn Battle-Scarred copies.
It is a practical purple-tier skin rather than a large return. Standard examples are usually best treated as a low-cost inventory piece or a quick cash-out item.
Sell Tec-9 | Brother Buy Tec-9 | Brother
7. MAG-7 | Monster Call
MAG-7 | Monster Call is one of the more playful purple outcomes. The colorful monster illustration makes it easy to recognize, though MAG-7 skins have a smaller buyer pool than rifle skins.
The full float range means condition can vary widely. A clean Factory New or StatTrak example deserves a price check. An ordinary worn copy is usually straightforward liquidity.
Sell MAG-7 | Monster Call Buy MAG-7 | Monster Call
8. MAC-10 | Allure
MAC-10 | Allure uses an anime-style illustration and is one of Fracture’s more visually specific Restricted skins. It has accessible entry-level demand because MAC-10 is regularly used on fast SMG rounds.
All wear tiers are possible. The usual version is inexpensive, so it makes more sense as a cheap play skin than as an item to hold for scarcity.
Sell MAC-10 | Allure Buy MAC-10 | Allure
9. Galil AR | Connexion
Galil AR | Connexion has a technical orange-and-black layout that fits the weapon well. It is a Restricted result, so it is far more likely than any pink or red Fracture pull.
The 0.800 cap permits Battle-Scarred wear. A low float matters for visual condition, but ordinary copies generally trade as inexpensive budget Galil options.
Sell Galil AR | Connexion Buy Galil AR | Connexion
10. MP5-SD | Kitbash
MP5-SD | Kitbash has a hand-built, improvised visual style. It is a purple pull and can look cleaner in low wear, although its 0.800 cap also allows rough Battle-Scarred examples.
MP5-SD demand is more situational than AK or MAC-10 demand. That makes clean condition and StatTrak more important when deciding whether it is worth holding.
Sell MP5-SD | Kitbash Buy MP5-SD | Kitbash
11. P2000 | Gnarled
P2000 | Gnarled is a Mil-Spec outcome, which means it sits in the 79.92% blue tier. That frequency defines the economics of Fracture openings more than the rare red previews do.
It can roll anywhere from 0.000 to 1.000. Most copies are low-value, but unusually low floats and StatTrak variants can be worth checking before treating the item as standard filler.
Sell P2000 | Gnarled Buy P2000 | Gnarled
12. P90 | Freight
P90 | Freight uses industrial cargo graphics and has a simple utility-skin role. It is a blue-tier result with a full float range, so all wear states can appear.
The ordinary version is cheap. A clean Factory New copy can be more attractive visually, but it does not turn Fracture’s standard outcome into a high-value pull.
Sell P90 | Freight Buy P90 | Freight
13. PP-Bizon | Runic
PP-Bizon | Runic is a low-cost Mil-Spec with an engraved, symbol-heavy design. The weapon itself has a limited buyer audience, which keeps normal examples near the bottom of Fracture’s value structure.
Its 0.000–1.000 float range allows every wear tier. It is mainly a keeper for players who want a themed Bizon loadout on a small budget.
Sell PP-Bizon | Runic Buy PP-Bizon | Runic
14. SSG 08 | Mainframe 001
SSG 08 | Mainframe 001 is the cleanest minimal-style Mil-Spec in the case. It appeals to players who prefer a restrained Scout finish rather than a busy illustration.
The full float range allows every condition. Because it is a blue-tier outcome, its normal cash value remains limited, but a clean low-float example is more appealing than a visibly worn one.
Sell SSG 08 | Mainframe 001 Buy SSG 08 | Mainframe 001
15. P250 | Cassette
P250 | Cassette is a bright retro-styled Mil-Spec. It is an inexpensive secondary-pistol option and one of the common outcomes that makes repeated Fracture openings poor value.
The float cap is 0.600. Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred copies are all possible, but the Battle-Scarred range ends at 0.600 rather than extending to 1.000.
Sell P250 | Cassette Buy P250 | Cassette
Best by Statistic
Factory New floats run from 0.00–0.07, Minimal Wear from 0.07–0.15, Field-Tested from 0.15–0.38, Well-Worn from 0.38–0.45, and Battle-Scarred from 0.45–1.00. For a deeper look at why extremely low numbers can matter, read Lowest Float CS2 Skins (and Why They Cost More).
Case Price and Keys
The Fracture Case is generally a cheap case, often around the sub-$1 area on markets. Supply remains large because the case circulated for a long time, and it is still tradable and openable.
Its current weekly-drop status is unverified. Tracker evidence conflicts: one source still records Fracture in an observed active pool, while other community tracking suggests it moved out of ordinary drops. Valve does not publish a definitive current drop-pool list or weights, so it is not responsible to describe the case as certainly active or certainly discontinued.
That uncertainty matters more to case holders than openers. A change in new supply can affect the case price over time, but large existing inventories limit any immediate scarcity argument. For newer supply stories, see Newest CS2 Cases (2025-2026).
Verdict
Fracture Case CS2 has clear chase items: Desert Eagle | Printstream, AK-47 | Legion of Anubis, and the Shattered Web knife family. It does not have favorable opening math. About 80% of opens land in the Mil-Spec tier, the expected return is roughly 18% of entry cost, and the average opening loses about 82%.
Open one only if the experience itself is the point. For a specific skin, direct acquisition is usually the more controlled route. If a Fracture pull does not fit your loadout or holding plan, skins.cash lets you sell it for real money without creating a market listing.
FAQ
What is in the Fracture Case in CS2?
The Fracture Case contains 17 weapon skins across Mil-Spec, Restricted, Classified, and Covert tiers, plus 52 rare-special knife model and finish combinations from the Shattered Web knife set.
What are the odds of getting a knife from a Fracture Case?
The rare-special knife tier has 0.26% odds per opening, which is about 1 in 385. Every opening is independent, so prior misses do not improve the next opening’s chance.
How much does it cost to open a Fracture Case?
Opening a Fracture Case costs about $2.8 per open: the case is about $0.27 plus the $2.49 US in-client key before tax. Regional key pricing and tax can differ.
Is the Fracture Case worth opening for profit?
No. The average open returns roughly 18% of what you spend, which implies an expected ROI of about -82%. The reds and knives can be valuable, but they are too infrequent to make repeated openings favorable on average.
What is the best normal weapon skin in the Fracture Case?
Desert Eagle | Printstream is the strongest ordinary weapon pull for broad demand and liquidity. AK-47 | Legion of Anubis is the other Covert skin and remains a desirable rifle finish.
Can Fracture Case drops have StatTrak?
Weapon skins in the Fracture Case can have StatTrak variants. StatTrak adds a kill counter and can increase demand for clean examples. The rare-special knife pool can also have StatTrak variants.
Does float matter for Fracture Case skins?
Yes. Float is the hidden wear value that determines Factory New through Battle-Scarred condition. Pattern index is different: it controls the visual layout on finishes such as Case Hardened, while float controls wear.
