FR, its hard as a skin nerd to boycott and show my resentment to how valve has been treating the game. I hate this battle pass system forcing me to play all the time. And half of the skins are complete garbadge, replicas of skins that are already in the game.
Imma say no because I kept getting kicked from a casual dust2 lobby because I wouldn't run mid with an smg every round. They were farming for the armory pass lol
i made profit. few things contributed. i bought 5 passes the second the pass dropped. Deagle drop was decent. red charm. 4 pink charms. a few decent stickers. a few cases. and then everything else buy orders alone were profit. seems profit goes to people who buy immediately if your goal is to cash out quick. also i think some heavy luck came my way. def feel like i made a smart purchase but i can imagine if you started later than me you are looking at the market in worry hoping the trade unlock date comes asap lol. what i suggest to people is now is to wait to buy the pass- buy the pass toward the end of it when you have a better idea of actual market data . either gamble on a Deagle before it leaves if you want ( understand another limited item may replace it as well that could be more desirable impacting its long term value) and that already the worse rolls are half the cost and they could go even lower. or wait until the valve says when the pass intends to end. if they say they are cutting it after 200 days or 1 year then i would say buy in at the end have some fun and horde whatever you get for the long term . if they say its staying long term these are items people can always gamble on ( i doubt this because eventually the supply would make the pass a worse gamble than case openings by a lot) So maybe valves idea is to rotate limited items and keep the pass active until the market reaches a certain saturation point. Then introduce new items and repeat. its all speculation though. but this would mean there will come a point where the items are so cheap unless your goal was to horde long term it never made sense to get a pass. i believe valve made it clear cs is going to be around for another 10 years. if you like the content in the pass. if you like the direction valve is heading in. buy the pass. have fun. Do not sell the items until way down the road. understand you missed the optimal time to buy in already though . i got lucky. first bit of content i paid for in cs. i dont think most people will profit.
Great video! But I think I should say this: the animation footage (1:44) is actually from Jacky's twitter. He made this video right after the update, and CAZE just included it in his one. No complaints, just pointing this out.
Bought just one and even that I kinda regret, even the safest option which is obviously Gallery case does not look that great to me because Kilowatt case has better coverts in terms of weapon choices (AWP and AK skins are always more popular and expensive than M4 and Glock) and the knife is the same and honestly on the level of Falchion/Bowie in terms of popularity lol
There's no limit of passes but people need to play and can't really just pump a bunch of money into the operation so I think the cases will be s pretty good investment
At first I thought it was interesting how you essentially get 41 stars for $16, making it on par or perhaps cheaper than past operations. Without the option to purchase stars, they gained more value, as they’re earned by XP and therefore time played. Then I turned on twitch and saw streamers maxing out multiple passes in a matter of hours, getting nearly 1000 stars by stabbing each other on office and Italy, and I realized that valve had fucked this up like they did pretty much everything else in cs2.
Gamba pass only makes sense with CS imo. Also i had no interest in playing the past few months but this pass worked its magic on my brain and now i actually want to play because after every match i get to open a case
I havent heard anyone mention yet, that you dont even get a displayable medal for purchasing the pass. All in all i think you either need to get lucky or be extremely precise with your analysis of the market sentiment, demand and supply when choosing what to buy with your stars. But the marketprice should stabelise around the avg. cost per star of that item, and in the later stages might even go lower then that considering oversaturation of the market and possible currency arbitrage opportunities i guess.
I should have mentioned that there was no displayable medal. Personally, I’m not too concerned with it but, a lot of other players really enjoy getting items like that. Regardless, thank you for watching.
@@Ryderdie1 Ive talked with chat gpt and those might be the accurate prices for the colleciton skins when we are long into it. Not considering which guns ppl actually want to play. Item A: ≈301.15$ Item B: ≈59.39$ Item C: ≈11.88$ Item D: ≈2.37$ Item E: ≈0.49$ With these selling prices, the rarer items are indeed more expensive than the more common ones, and the seller will break even on average when they sell the items.
Why not worth it? Just gird for 2 days. Then get only cases, sell them in the first 2 days of them being tradable. After a few days case prices will drop then buy them again and hold on to them for like one year. EZ profit
I think cases will be pretty low for first few days because everyone will just cashout, then they will rise for for few days and after that they will just continue to drop until some stable price around 0.80-0.90€.
@@IkBenEenEmeraldas soon as these cases are tradeable the market will be absolutely flooded with these cases. Unless you manage to sell one withtin the first few hours of the first cases being tradeable, I doubt you'll even get a return on investment tbh
I would buy the pass if it wasn't that expensive in my currency, that is literally a steal from Valve. Seriously, it's cheaper to buy certain skins with that money than gamble with the pass.
Love all the people in the comments being like, “Just buy the cases 4head easy profit!” Bro he literally said in the video we have no idea what valve is going to do with the cases, hope you guys profit but idk man it’s a gamble
this should happen within 5 days from the first date of market. there should be some items that are lower than their cost for every item in the pass. up to 70% lower if not more potentially.
cs has crazy gamblers you'd think people wont force sell their items if they are at a major loss but they will. people will spam buy passes until the passes arent there anymore. just like they spam open cases every single day. as a result these same people will be willing to sell items at an incredible loss to keep the train rolling. so buying off the market will be best unless you like to gamble. its like buying a $20 lottery ticket. probably gonna lose. chance to win big is extremely small.
If you get rare charm dont sell if they cost less than 1k . Pretty sure they will cost only a fracture of money they really worth in the beggining. Because ppl would not know what is actually popular or rare. Its the only thing out of all items that have theoretical chances to be something super exclusive. You can resell it so they will be cheap? There is no such item in CS that cant be resold, so that is not a point. They cant be crafter and that is much more important, because after they removed there would not be a SINGLE new one.
this can be very true but look at the prices already. you can get the rare ones for less and less by the hour. the most expensive one has buy orders around 50 already. we are so far from seeing how many there will be too. you could be in for the very long haul if you plan is charms. valve should be clear on the length of the pass
to be honest valve was something before but now there lazy doing low effort on there game yet ppl still buying there shit cs2 still alive not because new graphics because there market that still holding the game alive keep up the good work
If they had put a coin/badge it would have sold more then ever. Personally i will not buy it for that reason. Skin wise i dont care, i rock only vanilla knifes and old/iconic skins 2015 era but most of the time vanilla guns with different vanilla knives.
Interesting take. You like coins and badges more than skins. I think a badge that levels up depending on how many completed passes would be a big incentive for some players.
I prefer skins that stick to a realistic aesthetic I personally rock M9 with leather hand wraps and skins like Basilisk, Fire Serpent, Naga and so on. I completely agree with you and would be much more inclined to buy a pass if i got a coin, the skins i want i’ll just be buying when they are tradeable..

I simply don't want to reward valve for this low effort. The CS community deserves more than this cash grab.

Its not, only 40 stars. You get 10 chances to open the collection drops, so you will get 10 blues worth about 4 cents each
I always get good drops from operations XD
blue costs 4 cent only because they are in the active drop pool. Check blue or even grey in Dust 2 2021 collection for example.
