Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Winter Offensive Case famous for?
The Winter Offensive Case is the birthplace of AK-47 Redline — CS's most-recognisable mid-tier AK finish. It also debuted M4A4 Asiimov (which also drops from Operation Phoenix) and AWP Redline (a matching AWP red-and-black finish).
Is the Winter Offensive Case discontinued?
Yes — long retired. Case has appreciated from $0.05 at release to $6–14 in 2026 — one of the higher-priced retired cases because Redline demand keeps supply pressured.
Is opening a Winter Offensive Case worth it?
For EV: no. For a chance at a Redline specifically: opening cases is ~1/24 chance for Redline (classified tier). Direct-buying a Battle-Scarred Redline for $15 is far more efficient than opening 24 cases at $6–14 each ($150–350 expected total cost).
