Kilowatt Case: All Skins & Knives in CS2 (Full List)
The Kilowatt Case is the first weapon case released for Counter-Strike 2, and it didn’t just add new skins — it set the tone for CS2’s economy. Inside the Kilowatt Case, you’ll find two Covert rifles, the first-ever Zeus skin, and the debut of the Kukri Knife with classic finishes.
If you’re thinking about opening one (or trading for specific skins), here’s what you can get.
Featured Snippet: What’s in the Kilowatt Case?
The Kilowatt Case includes:
2 Covert skins
5 Classified skins
8 Restricted skins
Kukri Knife finishes (rare special item)
The first Zeus x27 skin in CS history
Support for StatTrak versions (except knives)
Knives follow standard CS2 finishes like Fade, Doppler, Slaughter, and more.
Covert Skins in the Kilowatt Case
AK-47 | Inheritance
One of the standout rifles in the Kilowatt Case. The Inheritance features blue-and-white porcelain-style artwork inspired by traditional patterns. In Factory New, the detailing looks crisp and clean; in higher float ranges, the wear softens the artwork but keeps the overall aesthetic intact.
It’s a collector-friendly AK, especially for players who prefer detailed, art-driven designs over aggressive themes.
AWP | Chrome Cannon
If you like clean finishes, this one delivers. Chrome Cannon leans into a polished, reflective look with a futuristic edge. Lower floats amplify that mirror-like effect, while Field-Tested and above start to dull the shine.
It’s one of the more “modern” AWP designs in CS2 and pairs well with holo stickers.
Classified Skins
M4A1-S | Black Lotus
Dark base, vibrant lotus accents. The contrast makes sticker crafts pop — especially white or purple holos.
Zeus x27 | Olympus
This is the big moment. Zeus finally got a skin.
Olympus features mythological elements and a bold, lightning-themed design. It doesn’t change how the Zeus works (still one shot, close range), but it absolutely changes how it looks in your loadout.
XM1014 | Irezumi
Inspired by traditional Japanese tattoo art — koi fish, waves, heavy linework. Strong visual presence, especially in FN–MW.
SSG 08 | Dezastre
Dark red and black tones with a chaotic vibe. A solid Scout option if you want something more aggressive-looking.
Nova | Dark Sigil
Occult-style symbols and glowing accents. Looks especially sharp in lower floats.
Restricted Skins
Here’s the full Restricted lineup from the Kilowatt Case:
USP-S | Jawbreaker – Colorful, candy-style chaos.
Glock-18 | Block-18 – Pixelated, geometric blocks.
M4A4 | Etch Lord – Engraved metal aesthetic.
Five-SeveN | Hybrid – Clean cyberpunk styling.
MP7 | Just Smile – Bright, playful design.
MAC-10 | Light Box – Neon, tech-inspired visuals.
Tec-9 | Slag – Industrial molten-metal look.
UMP-45 | Motorized – Mechanical patterns and motion themes.
These skins are generally more affordable on the market compared to Covert and Classified tiers, making them accessible if you’re building a themed loadout.
Rare Special Item: Kukri Knife
The Kilowatt Case introduced the Kukri Knife to CS2.
It can drop in classic finishes such as:
Fade
Doppler (including different phases)
Marble Fade
Slaughter
Case Hardened (pattern/seed matters here)
Crimson Web
Safari Mesh
Stained
Boreal Forest
Scorched
Like all knives, they don’t come in StatTrak. Float value and pattern index significantly impact desirability — especially for Case Hardened and Doppler phases.
Pro tip: For Case Hardened Kukris, high blue coverage patterns are typically more sought after, but pattern desirability can shift with market trends.
Skin Renting Feature
The Kilowatt Case also introduced a limited-time rental mechanic at release. Players could temporarily access skins from the case without permanently owning them.
Availability and rules can change, so always check the current in-game case description before opening.
Is the Kilowatt Case Worth Opening?
That depends on your goal.
Open it if:
You want a chance at Kukri finishes
You like porcelain-style or myth-inspired designs
You’re chasing the Zeus Olympus
Skip opening if:
You’re targeting one specific skin (buying directly is usually safer)
You prefer older case knife models
As always, case opening is luck-based. If you’re after a specific float (FN vs. MW) or hunting a particular Doppler phase, trading is usually more predictable.
Prices and liquidity change—check current offers at the time of reading.
