CS20: Anniversary Case
One of the reasons why the CS20 Case is unique is essentially the reason it was made. This year, the Counter-Strike series turns 25 years old. The CS20 case came out five years ago. As you might have guessed, it is dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the release of the original version of the game. No other case in the game is so strongly linked to the history of Counter-Strike.
Apart from the name, the appearance of the case is also different. This is not an ordinary yellow box, as is the case in almost all cases of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The case is painted gold. It looks very stylish and emphasizes the special event that led to the appearance of this case.
Golden FAMAS, CS20 Main Hero
Not only is the CS20’s casing completely gold, but its contents are also gold. We are talking specifically about the FAMAS Alert. This is the problem. The thing is, for a long time Valve refused to add any gold skins to CS:GO. The first gold AK appeared at Workshop a decade ago, but was never made for inclusion in the game.
And the FAMAS Alert changes all that. It was the first gold skin in CS. Of course, that pales in comparison to the fiery AWP Wildfire. But it was the FAMAS Anniversary that paved the way for other gold skins, such as the AK-47 Gold Arabesque.
There are some cases in the game that contain knives that are not available in other cases. This unique knife box listing includes:
- Falchion Box and Falchion Knife
- Operation Breakout and Butterfly Knife Cases
- Hunter’s Box and Hunter’s Knife
- Shadow Box and Shadow Dagger
- Fire Box and Bowie Knife
- CS20 Case and Classic Blade
Unlike other knives, the Classic Knife is not just a knife made from scratch. Experienced players will immediately notice that this is a modification of the standard knife from previous versions of the game. Not only does it have special nostalgic effects, but also interesting inspection animations. During the examination, the character throws knives at the iar, performing juggling.
References and Easter Eggs Related to the Counter-Strike Series
Another cool thing about the CS20 Case is that it has a lot of references to Counter-Strike. Each skin in one way or another refers to some element from past games or the history of the CS series. The most interesting ones are:
- AWP Wildfire is inspired by the Operation of the same name. Apart from that, there is also an Operations logo on it.
- MP9 Hydra is also related to Operation, Hydra this time.
- P90 Nostalgia basically throws two CS 1.6 Main Menu agents at you, which is a great touch.
- The Glock-18’s sacrifice was inspired by olofmeister’s incredible spin at ESL One: Cologne 2014. The Swede hit a mollie and managed to tame the C4, burning the next second.
- The Dual Berettas Elite 1.6 duplicates the design of the Berettas from the CS 1.6.
There are also more “secret” references. For example, FAMAS Decommissioned was created using objects from older versions of Nuke maps.
Is the CS20 Case a Good Investment?
CS20 Case is a rare drop item. This means that these cases are falling every week but are much less frequent than cases from the regular pool. Does this make the CS20 case a good investment? Let’s take a look at the market:
- Steam is offering 37,000 CS20 Cases in the Marketplace.
- The price has been slowly coming down for over a year now and is now ~60 cents a piece.
- Rare knives and skins from their boxes do not have any special status in the Community.
Summarizing the above factors, we can conclude that the CS20 Case is currently a risky investment. You should invest your money in it at your own risk.
CS20 is a unique case in its own way. His Classic Knife is sure to make old players shed nostalgic tears. The skins are also top-notch: bright, well-made, and connected to CS lore or series history.
