It seems Valve has decided to make changes to the item drop system in Counter-Strike 2. Some players are theorizing about plans to gradually abandon "loot boxes" (cases).
The Telegram channel of blogger "Ryze" drew attention to a recent update — data shows that developers have disabled or reduced the drop rate of rare cases:
Valve quietly disabled the possibility of rare cases dropping in weekly rewards or greatly reduced it. According to farming tool data, rare cases have stopped dropping since Wednesday. Perhaps the developers decided to kill the farms, or it's just a bug or a temporary measure.
Now the prices for cases such as "Bravo", "Prisma", "Gamma" and more have risen sharply on the market.
