CS2 Operation Hydra Case History
The cs2 Operation Hydra Case debuted on May 23, 2017 as part of the Operation Hydra update for CS:GO, and it stands as one of the most valuable glove cases ever released in the franchise. It introduced six glove types as its rare special item tier, including the Sport Gloves Pandora's Box and Specialist Gloves Crimson Kimono, both of which have become among the most sought-after cosmetic items in CS history. The weapon pool is equally strong, led by two Covert skins: the Five-SeveN Hyper Beast and AWP Oni Taiji. Due to the extraordinary demand for the gloves inside and the fact that the case is long out of the active drop pool, the Operation Hydra Case commands one of the highest market prices of any CS2 case available today.
How to open the Operation Hydra Case in CS2
The Operation Hydra Case has not been part of the in-game drop pool since Operation Hydra concluded in 2017, making it impossible to obtain through normal match play. The only way to get one is through the Steam Community Market or third-party case opening platforms, and the price reflects how much players want what is inside.
To open it on Steam you will need both the case and a CS2 case key, which adds to the already significant cost. On BloodyCase you can open it without sourcing a key separately, which is a cleaner and more direct path to seeing what you get.
Operation Hydra Case Skins
The Operation Hydra Case items include a deep weapon pool and a glove selection considered by many to be the finest in CS2. The seven Mil-Spec weapons are the USP-S Blueprint, FAMAS Macabre, M4A1-S Briefing, MAC-10 Aloha, MAG-7 Hard Water, Tec-9 Cut Out, and UMP-45 Metal Flowers. The Restricted tier features five weapons: AK-47 Orbit Mk01, P2000 Woodsman, P250 Red Rock, P90 Death Grip, and SSG 08 Death's Head. At Classified sit three skins: Dual Berettas Cobra Strike, Galil AR Sugar Rush, and M4A4 Hellfire. The two Coverts - Five-SeveN Hyper Beast and AWP Oni Taiji - are visually striking and widely recognized at all levels of play. The glove pool spans six types: Bloodhound Gloves in Snakebite, Bronzed, Guerrilla, and Charred; Driver Gloves in Crimson Weave, Lunar Weave, Diamondback, and Convoy; Hand Wraps in Slaughter, Badlands, Spruce DDPAT, and Leather; Moto Gloves in Spearmint, Cool Mint, Boom!, and Eclipse; Specialist Gloves in Crimson Kimono, Emerald Web, Foundation, and Forest DDPAT; Sport Gloves in Superconductor, Hedge Maze, Pandora's Box, and Arid.

Is it worth opening the Operation Hydra Case?
The Operation Hydra Case carries some of the most legendary glove finishes in CS2. Sport Gloves Pandora's Box or Specialist Gloves Crimson Kimono alone can represent enormous value if you land them. The weapon pool is also genuinely solid, with the AWP Oni Taiji and Five-SeveN Hyper Beast at the Covert level. This is one of the few cases where both the top-end weapon skins and the glove outcomes are desirable, making every roll feel meaningful.
How much does the Operation Hydra Case cost?
The Operation Hydra Case price on BloodyCase is as follows: 1 case for $24,99, 5 cases for $124,95, and 10 cases for $249,9. The high price point reflects the rarity of the case and the exceptional value of the gloves inside. Opening on BloodyCase means you do not need a separate key.
