Operation Shattered Web Kicks-Off with the Shattered Web Case
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a first-person shooter game loved by millions. However, sometimes rolling out new operations can take a while. That’s exactly what happened after Operation Hydra came to an end on November 13, 2017. Players would have to wait a little over two years for the next operation to drop. When Operation Shattered Web was finally released on November 18, 2019, gamers around the world were ready to jump in and take control of the new content.
Operation Shattered Web brought the possibility for players to equip different agents to earn rewards. The update also brought a new battle pass format, graffiti, stickers, and of course new weapons cases. Operation Shattered Web came to an end on March 30, 2020, after its 4-month run.
Taking a Look at the Shattered Web Case
As the ninth CS:GO operation, Operation Shattered Web kicked off with the Shattered Web Case. This case would bring the CS:GO community another 17 community-created skins. In addition, players also received the opportunity to unbox a new set of knives in an impressive 13 different finishes for a total of 52 exceedingly rare items. The new knife collection included: Nomad, Paracord, Skeleton, and Survival knives.
The Shattered Web Case introduced a captivating array of designs. Featuring a unique blend of vibrant colors and post-apocalyptic aesthetics, these skins offered a distinct visual appeal that set them apart. Whether collectors are drawn to the colorful flare or the post-apocalyptic vibes, the Shattered Web Case provides an exciting opportunity to enhance gameplay with truly striking designs.
What’s Inside the Shattered Web Case?
While many of the skins inside the Shattered Web Case had a consistent post-apocalyptic feel, the skins that rose to the top in popularity were those with vibrant colors or sleek designs.

Despite the large assortment of knives, players only had a very slight chance to receive one of these coveted items when opening the case.

Market Demand and Rarity
The Shattered Web Case was discontinued at the end of the Operation. However, with nearly 7,500 cases still in circulation on the Steam Community Market, purchasing the case should only cost between $4-5. Usually, after Valve retires a case so it no longer drops in-game, the value increases. However, when it came to the rarest items in the Shattered Web Case – the knives – something else transpired. In August 2020, less than six months after the end of Operation Shattered Web, Valve released the Fracture Case. This case contained its own set of skins but also contained the same set of knives as seen in the Shattered Web Case.
Get Your CS:GO Shattered Web Case
With the Fracture Case available from the Prime drop pool, it is much easier for players to get if they’re after the extremely rare knife skins. Not only because they drop in-game, but also because they’re much less expensive compared to the Shattered Web Case. However, if players are wanting any of the other skins from the Shattered Web Case, they’ll only be able to get them through purchase or trade. For those enthusiasts, the price of the case might be worth it considering that several of the higher-tiered skins sell for over $100.
