The third of October gave CS2 players one of the largest and most influential game updates added to the game so far. The Armory update added a completely new feature to the game, known as The Armory Pass. Although the game already included a similar feature in the past in the form of CS2 operations, the Armory Pass is an entirely new feature, which allows players to score new and awesome skins, armory stickers, and even a completely new type of items – charms!
In addition to the pass itself, the update has also introduced a large number of new skins for players to earn, either through the Armory Pass, the new Gallery Case, or simply through trading CS2 (CS:GO) skins.
What are these new and awesome inclusions? Below we include an entire list of the new Gallery Case skins players can obtain!
What Knife Skins Are In The Gallery Case?
The most expensive CS2 skins you can obtain from the gallery case are the various Kukri knife skins, which drop in the slot of special rare item.
Players who open the Gallery case have a chance to score one of the thirteen different finishes for the Kukri knife. While the weapon is a fairly new addition to the game, introduced in the Kilowatt case in the previous big update, it still racks high prices on the market, particularly the rare finishes such as Case Hardened or Fade. But besides the knife, what other skins are available in the Gallery case?
