Counter-Strike: Global Offensive hasn’t released a case since February, being the revolution case. The revolution case is likely Counter-Strike Global Offenses’ final case, meaning the next case will be released in the upcoming Counter-Strike 2. Whether or not a new case will release alongside the title is currently unknown. However, we’ve been told by Valve to expect something. Valve hasn’t released new knife finishes in years, raising player anticipation and frustration. With the constant release of Counter-Strike 2 information, the hype is starting to die down due to Valve not releasing the title to the masses; yes, we’re excited, but we’ve had no new content in months. <\/p>\n
Due to the lack of content, players are predicting that Valve is going to overcompensate by releasing Counter-Strike 2 alongside a new case with skins and finishes we haven’t seen before. Additionally, we can plan to see knife finishes that we have potentially seen before on community-build concepts, such as the Printstream collection. After continuous releases of Printstream weapons and concepts, it wouldn’t surprise us to see Printstream knives! <\/p>\n
The Printstream collection has been the hottest “new” collection release in Counter-Strike for a long time, having players love the idea of pearlescent skins. For those who don’t know, the Printstream skins aren’t damaged by scratches and tears at lower wear. Instead, the colors of the Printstream darken, and their pearlescent effect appears messier. <\/p>\n
Skins that aren’t damaged with scratches depending on their wear are always more desirable. This is simply because they never look as bad as typical battle-scarred skins without this effect. This brings the price of the skin slightly up, however, not by much because the Printstream doesn’t offer any uniqueness to skin patterns or designs, lessening rarity. <\/p>\n
The chances of a Printstream knife collection being released in the upcoming Counter-Strike 2 shift are incredibly high due to the volume of requests made by the skin community. Prices of the knives are quite hard to predict, but it’s expected to replicate similar skin prices to something such as the Tiger Tooth or Slaughter prices. Fortunately, I don’t personally believe there’s anything “special” about this knife due to its lack of uniqueness, meaning the price won’t be significant. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The AWP Gungnir has been one of the most expensive liquid skins in Counter-Strike Global Offensive, costing thousands of dollars regardless of the wear. The Gungnir has only been featured on the AWP, giving the skin room to expand and possibly meet knives and various other possibilities. Although bringing other Gungnir skins to Counter-Strike would ruin the “sole” AWP skins legacy, the opportunities for knives would be interesting.<\/p>\n
This is because the Gungnir is associated with power and riches. Seeing the skin bought to knives would be amazing, especially watching the price changes. As seen by the image, the skin works incredibly well with knives, already looking like a healthy part of Counter-Strike. With CS2s brand new aesthetics and visual updates, the knife would look amazing. Unfortunately, there isn’t anything unique about the Gungnir skin, such as patterns and unique outlooks, but the skin overall has a great aesthetic which will drive the skin forward into the next possible case. <\/p>\n Counter-Strikes Lore finishes are incredibly iconic, especially after the hype following the infamous Dragon Lore, arguably the most iconic skin in gaming history. Making these knives the follow-up to the most iconic skin in history, leading to mass attention and desire to purchase by Counter-Strike skin lovers. Despite Lore knives already being available, the entire collection hasn’t been released for some knives, such as the Navaja, Skeleton, Paracord, Survival, Talon, and the rest, meaning there is room for additions within the Lore world.<\/p>\nCounter-Strike 2 New Knife Finishes: Lore<\/h2>\n
