A weapon case released Jun 7, 2018: 17 community finishes plus a rare special slot with 52 knives across 4 models. It has left the active drop pool and now drops only rarely, so supply is shrinking.

Is it worth opening: the math
| Tier | Odds | Avg item value | Adds to EV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rare Special (knife / gloves) avg over 48 of 52 priced | 0.26% | $185.84 | $0.483 |
| Covert | 0.64% | $52.36 | $0.335 |
| Classified | 3.20% | $9.75 | $0.312 |
| Restricted | 15.98% | $2.07 | $0.331 |
| Mil-Spec | 79.92% | $0.425 | $0.340 |
Verdict: opening is entertainment, not value. You get back 46% of the opening cost on average, and the rare slot takes ≈ 385 openings to hit. If you want a specific skin, buying it outright is almost always cheaper.

How the Horizon Case drops and opens
Only the rare pool still drops Horizon Case, first sold Jun 7, 2018, now, at a fraction of the old rate, so listings are dominated by earlier stock — currently from $1.24 across 24 marketplaces. As those copies get consumed, retired cases tend to reprice upward; the dated rotation log sits in the drop-pool registry. Drop-pool registry →
Since 2019 keys sell only in the in-game store ($2.49, no resale), and a marketplace copy of the case usually undercuts the value of waiting for a drop. Each opening returns $1.80 on average against its $3.88 price tag, or 46% pre-fees. Direct purchase wins whenever a specific skin is the goal; use the tiles above for prices.
From this page's data: 69 items priced live, the 27-day median case price moved -1.1%. All prices recompute with every data snapshot.

How much is the key?

Will the Horizon Case be discontinued?
It already rotated out of the active pool (rare pool as of our Apr 12, 2026 registry snapshot). It still drops rarely — cases never leave the game entirely. Drop-pool registry →
How do I get one without opening it?
Buying it is the practical route — from $1.24 across the markets in the table above. It no longer drops weekly.
Is opening cases legal in my country?
Loot-box rules differ by country: Belgium treats paid loot boxes as gambling and Valve disabled case opening there, while several other countries require odds disclosure or age gates. If opening is restricted where you live, buying items directly stays available. Responsible trading guide →
