Shadow

The Shadow case pairs eight Shadow Daggers with eight gun skins in a 16-item pool. Every knife is worth more than the case costs, but the most common result sits below that mark. The full item list on this page shows each chance alongside its current value, so you can compare the possible results before opening.

Where the value sits

Thirteen items are worth more than the case costs; three are worth less. The chance of winning more than the case costs is 26%. That figure covers several different outcomes, from knives to gun skins, rather than a single rare drop. At the other end, M249 | Nebula Crusader (Battle-Scarred) has a 65% chance and returns less than the case costs. P250 | Wingshot (Factory New) at 5% and Galil AR | Stone Cold (Factory New) at 4% also fall below the case cost. More openings will land on those lower-value results than on the higher-value side of the pool.

Notable drops in the Shadow pool

The knives offer different finishes and chances. The highest-value result is not the most likely knife to appear:

• Shadow Daggers | Boreal Forest (Factory New) is the most valuable item in the case, with a 0.5% chance.
• Shadow Daggers | Night (Factory New) has a 1% chance.
• Shadow Daggers | Case Hardened (Factory New) and Shadow Daggers | Fade (Minimal Wear) each have a 1.5% chance.
• StatTrak™ SSG 08 | Big Iron (Factory New) is a gun-skin result worth more than the case costs, with a 3% chance.

The remaining knives also sit above the case cost. A knife-focused pool does not mean a knife will appear on any particular opening; the displayed chances apply to each result separately.

Opening and checking a result

When you open Shadow, its result is credited to your CSDROP balance at market value right away; that balance can go toward skins on the CSDROP marketplace for withdrawal to Steam, a crypto withdrawal, or another game. Before the spin, you can see the hashed server seed; it works with your client seed and a nonce to determine the result, which you can verify in game history. If you want to see the spin without a result credited to your balance, Shadow also has a Demo Spin that wins nothing.
