A weapon case released Mar 26, 2021: 17 community finishes plus a rare special slot with 24 gloves across 6 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) | 0.26% | $155.93 | $0.405 |
| Covert | 0.64% | $34.75 | $0.222 |
| Classified | 3.20% | $4.33 | $0.139 |
| Restricted | 15.98% | $1.57 | $0.251 |
| Mil-Spec | 79.92% | $0.301 | $0.241 |
Verdict: opening is entertainment, not value. You get back 45% 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 Snakebite Case drops and opens
New drops of Snakebite Case, first sold Mar 26, 2021, are rare-pool only these days: the case is out of the weekly rotation, and the market runs on old stock — currently from $0.300 across 25 marketplaces. As that stock thins, prices of retired cases historically climb; dated pool changes live in the drop-pool registry. Drop-pool registry →

How much is the key?

How do I get one without opening it?
Buying it is the practical route — from $0.300 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 →
