All rarity levels at a glance

1st consumer class (consumer grade)

Items of the "consumer class" cannot be drawn from classic weapon crates, but can only be obtained in collections. This means that these items can be obtained through the weekly care package can be obtained. This in turn means that there are a lot of these skins and they are therefore relatively worthless.

Skins in the "consumer class" are not very colorful and are kept in shades of grey, blue, green and brown. They also only have very simple patterns that are not particularly eye-catching.

2. industrial grade

Items with "industrial quality" are also not represented in weapon boxes, but belong to collections. These items are also still very common, making them of little value. The big difference to "consumer grade" skins is that "industrial grade" skins are somewhat more colorful and have more elaborate patterns.

3. military standard (Mil-Spec)

"Military standard" is the most likely rarity level that can be pulled from a weapon crate. These skins often have more elaborate patterns and interesting designs, but these skins are also largely worthless as they are very common in CS2.

There is a 70.92 % chance to get a skin with the rarity level "Military Standard" from a weapon box.

4. limited (Restricted)

Skins that are "Limited" can also be pulled from a weapon box. They are somewhat rarer than skins in the "Military Standard" category, which is why they are a little more colorful and have more striking patterns and designs.

The chance of getting a skin with the rarity level "Limited" from a weapon box is 15.98 %.

5. confidential (Classified)

Skins with the "Confidential" rarity level are relatively rare and can be obtained from weapon crates. They are worth more than skins of the previous rarity levels, as they are rarer and more conspicuous overall.

There is a 3.2 % chance of getting a skin with the rarity level "Confidential" from a weapon box.

6. concealed (Covert)

Skins that are "concealed" are very rare. For this reason, these skins are also something special and usually relatively expensive. For the majority of CS2 players, skins of the "Concealed" rarity are very desirable and most of the best weapon skins belong to this rarity level.

The chance of getting a skin with the rarity level "Concealed" from a weapon box is 0.64 %.

7. ★ Covert Knife (★ Covert Knife)

The rarity level "★ Concealed" includes all knives in CS2. Naturally, knives are particularly rare and therefore very expensive.

The chance of getting a knife from a weapon box is 0.26 %.

8. ★ Extraordinary Gloves (★ Extraordinary Gloves)

"★ Exceptional" is the rarity level for all gloves in CS2. Like knives, gloves are also very rare in CS2 and therefore very expensive.

There is a 0.26 % chance of getting gloves from a weapon box.

9. contraband (contraband)

The "contraband" rarity level is particularly interesting. It is assigned to all items that Valve rechtliche Probleme bereitet haben und daher aus dem Verkehr gezogen wurden. Dazu zählt zum Beispiel die M4A4 Howl, das Design des Community-Skins wurde von einem anderen Künstler geklaut, wodurch der ganze Skin gebannt werden musste. 

Skins of the rarity level "Contraband" can no longer be obtained and only those skins that were obtained before the legal problems became known are available.
