Kilowatt Case
Released Jan 16, 2024
Drop odds
Every standard case uses the same rarity distribution, so opening one is mostly a Mil-Spec lottery: red and gold pulls together account for less than 1% of openings. Roughly 1 in 10 drops comes out StatTrak™.
| Rarity tier | Skins in tier | Tier odds | Odds per skin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mil-Spec Grade | 7 | 79.92% | ~11.417% (1 in 9) |
| Restricted | 5 | 15.98% | ~3.196% (1 in 31) |
| Classified | 3 | 3.2% | ~1.067% (1 in 94) |
| Covert | 2 | 0.64% | ~0.320% (1 in 313) |
| Rare Special Item | 13 | 0.26% | ~0.020% (1 in 5,000) |
Source: rarity odds disclosed by Valve for case openings in China. Opening also requires a key bought in-game, so factor that cost in before chasing a specific skin.
Is opening worth it?
Opening this case costs about $2.76 (case plus key) and the contents are worth $1.63 on average, so you statistically get back 59 cents on the dollar. Buying the skin you want directly is almost always cheaper than chasing it in drops.
Method: official tier odds times the average median market price of each skin across its wears (29 of 30 items have live listings, prices from 2026-07-14). StatTrak upgrades are ignored, which makes the estimate slightly conservative.
