A default case opening system has existed for 10+ years now. Openers are tired of repeating the same skin-acquiring process for that long. They look for fresh ways to do it. And there is one—a method that not only feels fresh as a morning breeze but also increases profit: case battles.
This article will reveal all you need to know about battles on CS:GO. You’ll know what it is and how it works. And then you’ll find some tips on how to get more battling profit. So let’s get you started!
What is CS:GO Case Battle
CS:GO case battle is a case-opening mode where players fight each other. To get ahead, players have to wager cases. The winner is the one who gets more valuable loot in the end.
Case battles are unavailable in the CS:GO Steam client. You can find them only at third resources: case opening sites. There are many of them online. But just a few offer case battles. Moreover, such sites can deceive people into stealing their cash, accounts, and items. So choose them wisely.
How Do Case Battles Work
Case battles have several modes: 1v1 and 2v2. So you can not only fight alone but also open cases with your friend.
A battle can have up to 30 rounds. Each of them is represented by the opened case. Speaking about opened cases, you, your opponent and teammate can open any cases they want. This creates room for devising playing strategies. Further, you’ll find a couple of proven case battling tactics.
When the final case is wagered, the site calculates the total cost of each player’s items. And then, it compares everyone’s loot. The player/team with more expensive skins takes his and his opponent’s catch home.
“Taking home” means getting full control over the items. First, they will be presented in your site’s inventory. But later, you can transfer them into your Steam Account. And then use them for whatever you want: trading, equipping, selling, etc.
What is the Loot From Case Battles
By participating in CS:GO case battles, your loot depends on your and the opponent’s case drops. For instance, you’ve been opening a Prisma Case and got a Talon Knife Doppler, Five-SeveN Angry Mob, M4A4 The Emperor, and P90 Off Wood. While your enemy was dealing with Recoil cases, and got Driver Gloves Black Tie, USP-S Printstream, AWP Chromatic Aberration, and P90 Vent Rush.
All these items will be yours if you win. And those are just drops from 4 opening rounds. There could be 26 more of these!
The Way to Start Your First Case Battle
Starting a case battle is not hard at all. All you have to do is to follow these easy steps:
- Find a case opening website with case battles available;
- Sign in it using your Steam Account;
- Go to the case battle page;
- Press “Create Battle;”
- Click “Add Case” to allow cases for your battle;
- Go to the settings at the bottom of the page to adjust the number of players, room password, etc.;
- Press “Create Battle” again and wait until the room has enough players. You can cancel your battle before it starts by pressing “Quit Battle;”
- Battle your opponents and get the loot!
That’s how you create your own battle. But it is not necessary. You can just join somebody’s room. To do it, open the “Case Battle” page and check available rooms. When you find the one that suits your needs, join it and start playing.
How to Get the Most Out of Case Battles
To earn the most from case battles, you first must determine your goal. And it will dictate how you battle your opponents. For instance, if you are looking for specific skins, open corresponding cases. While if your goal is to get the most profit, the only thing that matters for you is skins’ prices.
Okay, but how do you build the strategy for the opening phase? You can be creative here. For example, there is a strategy that supposes you to entice your opponent into play by wagering low-cost boxes. And when he has put out some good money, you start playing big. That way, the opponent must proceed or give up on his cash.
In fact, there is a separate page with case battling tips and strategies. Make sure to check it before you launch your first battle. This will help you stay more consistent and win more skins.
