Is it worth opening: the math

Opening cost $2.87 case $0.380 + key $2.49 Expected value $0.879 per opening You get back 31¢ / $1 before selling fees To hit the rare slot?Tier odds are published by Valve. 0.26% for the rare slot means 1 drop per 385 openings on average, about $1,104.95 at the current opening cost. ≈ 385 openings ≈ $1,104.95 at current prices
Tier Odds Avg item value Adds to EV

Restricted 15.98% $0.510 $0.081

Verdict: opening is entertainment, not value. You get back 31% 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 Fracture Case drops and opens

Fracture Case, first sold Jul 13, 2020, sits in the active weekly drop pool: up to two containers a week drop through profile rank-ups. While a case is in the active pool, fresh copies hit the market every week, which keeps its price anchored — currently from $0.340 across 25 marketplaces. When Valve rotates a case out to the rare pool, new supply collapses and older cases appreciate for years; the dated history is in the drop-pool registry. Drop-pool registry →

A $2.49 store key is mandatory per opening (keys left the market in 2019), and the case itself typically costs less bought outright than farmed. The economics: $2.87 in, $0.879 expected out, 31% average return before fees. Anyone hunting one skin should buy it directly — the tiles above link each item to its markets.

From this page's data: 69 items priced live, the 28-day median case price moved -19.1%. All prices recompute with every data snapshot.

Fracture Case questions

What is inside the Fracture Case?

17 community finishes from Mil-Spec to Covert, topped by Desert Eagle (Printstream) and AK-47 (Legion of Anubis), plus a rare special slot: 52 knife variants across 4 models. The full priced list is above on this page.

What are the knife odds?

0.26% per opening, about 1 per 385 openings on average. At $2.87 per opening the average path to the rare slot costs roughly $1,104.95.

How much is the key?

$2.49 in the in-game store. Keys cannot be bought on the market or traded: the price is the same for everyone.

Is the Fracture Case worth opening?

Not by the math: each $2.87 opening returns $0.879 on average, so about 31% of the money comes back. Open for fun, buy skins directly.

Will the Fracture Case be discontinued?

It has been in the active pool since Aug 6, 2020. Valve does not announce rotations ahead; dated pool changes are tracked in the drop-pool registry. Drop-pool registry →

How do I get one without opening it?

It drops free from weekly profile rank-ups, and buying is cheapest from $0.340 on third-party markets: the comparison table is above.

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 →
