Restricted

There are five Restricted skins:

The combined chance of getting a Restricted skin is approximately 15.98%.

The standout item in this category is the AK-47 | Slate. Its clean black design also makes it a popular base for sticker crafts.

The Classified skins are:

MP9 | Food Chain
XM1014 | XOXO
Galil AR | Chromatic Aberration

The chance of getting a Classified skin is approximately 3.20%.

Covert

There are only two Covert skins:

These are the rarest regular weapon skins in the case. The combined chance of getting a Covert skin is approximately 0.64%.

What Gloves Can You Get From the Snakebite Case?

Snakebite Case Drop Odds

Most Snakebite Case openings result in a Mil-Spec skin. The approximate drop odds are:

Mil-Spec: 79.92%

Restricted: 15.98%

Classified: 3.20%

Covert: 0.64%

Rare Special Item: 0.26%

This puts the chance of getting gloves at roughly 1 in 385 cases.

That does not mean gloves are guaranteed after opening 385 cases. Every case opening is an independent random event, so you could get gloves on your first attempt or open hundreds of cases without seeing a pair.

How Much Does It Cost to Open a Snakebite Case in 2026?

The Snakebite Case itself costs approximately $0.40 in 2026, although its market price changes over time.

You also need a key to open it. With a key costing around $2.49, one Snakebite Case opening costs roughly $2.90 in total.

This means the case itself is cheap, but the key accounts for most of the actual opening cost.

Is the Snakebite Case Profitable?

If your goal is to get a specific skin, buying that skin directly is generally the more predictable option.

Almost 80% of Snakebite Case openings result in a Mil-Spec item. The chance of getting a Covert skin is only 0.64%, while the chance of hitting the rare glove pool is approximately 0.26%.

Current estimates also put the expected return from opening the case well below the total opening cost. Exact ROI changes as the market prices of the case, skins, and gloves move.

For this reason, opening Snakebite Cases should not be treated as a reliable way to make a profit.

Best M4A4 Skins in 2026

Verdict

The Snakebite Case remains an interesting CS2 case in 2026 because of its low price and strong glove pool. At around $0.40 per case, the container itself is inexpensive, while notable regular drops include the AK-47 | Slate, USP-S | The Traitor, and M4A4 | In Living Color.

The main downside is the odds. Around 79.92% of openings result in a Mil-Spec skin, the chance of a Covert is approximately 0.64%, and the chance of getting gloves is only 0.26%.

The Snakebite Case is worth opening for the experience and the chance of hitting rare gloves, but not as a reliable way to make money. If you want a specific skin, buying it directly is usually the better option.
