The cs2 Operation Vanguard Weapon Case was introduced on November 11, 2014 as part of the Operation Vanguard update, one of the most content-heavy operations the game had seen to that point. As Series #29, it arrived during a period when the CS:GO skin economy was maturing rapidly and player demand for high-quality weapon finishes was growing fast. The case delivered two standout Covert skins in the AK-47 Wasteland Rebel and P2000 Fire Elemental, both of which became staples of the mid-era CS skin scene. Today the Operation Vanguard Weapon Case is valued by collectors drawn to its classic knife pool and the timeless appeal of its top-tier drops.
The Operation Vanguard Weapon Case can technically appear as a random post-match drop in CS2, but the odds are extremely low given the size of the active case pool. Relying on drops to get a specific case is not a realistic strategy for most players.
Most players source the case from the Steam Community Market and open it with a standard case key. On BloodyCase, you can skip the key entirely and open the Operation Vanguard Weapon Case directly, with any skin you receive transferable to your Steam account immediately.
The Operation Vanguard Weapon Case items are spread across fourteen weapon skins and a classic five-knife rare pool. Mil-Spec skins are the G3SG1 Murky, MAG-7 Firestarter, MP9 Dart, Five-SeveN Urban Hazard, and UMP-45 Delusion. At Restricted you will find the Glock-18 Grinder, M4A1-S Basilisk, M4A4 Griffin, and Sawed-Off Highwayman. The Classified tier holds the P250 Cartel, SCAR-20 Cardiac, and XM1014 Tranquility. Covert skins are the AK-47 Wasteland Rebel and P2000 Fire Elemental. The knife tier features the Bayonet, Flip Knife, Gut Knife, Karambit, and M9 Bayonet, available in vanilla and twelve classic finishes: Blue Steel, Boreal Forest, Case Hardened, Crimson Web, Fade, Forest DDPAT, Night, Safari Mesh, Scorched, Slaughter, Stained, and Urban Masked.
Yes. The Operation Vanguard Weapon Case is still part of the active drop pool in CS2 and can appear as a post-match reward. As with all cases, the individual drop probability is low, and targeted drops are not possible.
The most reliable way is to sign up for BloodyCase and open a case there. You are guaranteed to receive your skin, which you can then transfer to your Steam account.
The case contains five classic knife types: Bayonet, Flip Knife, Gut Knife, Karambit, and M9 Bayonet. Each is available in the following finishes: vanilla, Blue Steel, Boreal Forest, Case Hardened, Crimson Web, Fade, Forest DDPAT, Night, Safari Mesh, Scorched, Slaughter, Stained, and Urban Masked.
The Operation Vanguard Weapon Case sits at a higher price point than many comparable operation cases, reflecting consistent demand for its knife pool and Covert skins. The AK-47 Wasteland Rebel remains a fan favorite with strong resale value, and the five-knife pool with classic finishes like Fade and Slaughter gives every open a meaningful jackpot scenario.
The Operation Vanguard Weapon Case price on BloodyCase is as follows: 1 case for $5,49, 5 cases for $27,45, and 10 cases for $54,9. BloodyCase lets you open it without a key, making it a more cost-efficient option for players who want to get straight to the skins.
