CS2 Operation Vanguard Weapon Case History
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.
How to open the Operation Vanguard Weapon Case in CS2
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.
Operation Vanguard Weapon Case Skins
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.
