The Horizon Case is one of those older CS:GO-era cases that still pulls people in, bro, and it's easy to see why. It's the case that brought four knives into the game at once: the Talon, the Navaja, the Stiletto and the Ursus. It also holds the AK-47 Neon Rider, a bright synthwave AK that a lot of players have wanted at some point. If you typed "Clash.gg Horizon Case" into Google, you're most likely trying to figure out what's in it, what your odds are, how much an opening costs and whether there's a cheaper way to land the skin you're after. That's exactly what this page covers.

Honest disclaimer first: we didn't open a stack of Horizon Cases to write this. The item list comes from the Counter-Strike wiki, the odds are the figures Valve discloses for weapon cases, and every price is a Steam Community Market number we pulled on November 1, 2026. Skin prices change daily, so treat them as a snapshot.

Horizon Case in 30 seconds

• Release date: August 3, 2018, back in CS:GO. Its container series number is #244.
• Contents: 17 community-designed weapon finishes: 2 Covert, 3 Classified, 5 Restricted, 7 Mil-Spec.
• Knives: Talon, Navaja, Stiletto and Ursus, each in a vanilla version plus 12 finishes. That's 52 possible knives.
• Knife chance: 0.26%, or about one in every 385 openings on average.
• Price per opening: roughly $4.40 on November 1, 2026, with the case near $1.90 and the key at $2.49.
• Clash.gg's role: the site doesn't open Valve's Horizon Case. It runs its own cases, lists the Horizon Case on its free Stash price database and sells Horizon skins on its marketplace.

How Clash.gg fits in (and how it doesn't)

A lot of searches for "Clash.gg Horizon Case" come from people who think they can open the real case on the site. Here's what's actually going on.

Valve's Horizon Case lives in your Steam inventory. You buy it on the Steam market or get it as a drop, then you need a Horizon Case Key from Valve to open it. Whatever you unbox lands in your Steam inventory, and Valve sets the odds.

Clash.gg site cases are a separate product. The site builds each case, picks the items, assigns a percentage to every item and shows that table on the case page. A site case may contain Horizon skins such as the Neon Rider or a Talon, but the chances are whatever Clash.gg set for that case, not Valve's numbers.

Clash.gg Stash at stash.clash.gg is a free database. Its Horizon Case page (container #244) lets you browse the skins and see prices in one place, which is useful before you spend anything. Our Clash.gg Stash guide shows how to use it.

The Clash.gg marketplace lets you spend your site balance on a specific skin and withdraw it to Steam. If what you want is a Neon Rider, buying one skips the lottery entirely. See our Clash.gg marketplace guide for how purchases and withdrawals work.

All 17 Horizon Case skins

From the rarest tier down to the most common:

Covert (red)

• AK-47 | Neon Rider – the headline skin, a neon purple and pink design. Field-Tested had a median of about $50 on the Steam market on November 1, 2026.
• Desert Eagle | Code Red – a red-and-white Deagle that's actually pricier than the Neon Rider in Field-Tested, at a median near $57 that day, with thin trading volume.

Classified (pink)

• M4A1-S | Nightmare – about $11 median in Field-Tested.
• Sawed-Off | Devourer – about $6.90 median in Field-Tested, with only a handful sold.
• FAMAS | Eye of Athena – about $5.80 median in Field-Tested.

Restricted (purple)

• AWP | PAW – the cartoon cat AWP, and the most valuable purple here at about $2.43 median in Field-Tested.
• MP7 | Powercore
• CZ75-Auto | Eco
• G3SG1 | High Seas
• Nova | Toy Soldier

Apart from the PAW, these sat between roughly $1.04 and $1.92 in Field-Tested.

Mil-Spec (blue)

• AUG | Amber Slipstream
• Dual Berettas | Shred
• Glock-18 | Warhawk
• MP9 | Capillary
• P90 | Traction
• R8 Revolver | Survivalist
• Tec-9 | Snek-9

Field-Tested Mil-Specs from this case were going for roughly 42 to 57 cents. That's the tier you'll hit about 80% of the time, and it's worth a little over a tenth of what each opening costs.

The four Horizon knives

This is the main reason the case has a following. All four knives were added to the game in the same update as the Horizon Case:

• Talon Knife – a curved karambit-style blade with a ring handle. Usually the most expensive of the four.
• Stiletto Knife – a slim switchblade with a flashy flip-open animation.
• Ursus Knife – a tanto-style survival knife. The wiki notes it's based on a real Gerber design.
• Navaja Knife – a folding Spanish-style knife and normally the cheapest way into a Horizon knife.

Each knife comes in the original set of finishes: vanilla, Blue Steel, Boreal Forest, Case Hardened, Crimson Web, Fade, Forest DDPAT, Night Stripe, Safari Mesh, Scorched, Slaughter, Stained and Urban Masked. Four knives times 13 versions gives you 52 possible knife results.

The gap between those results is huge. Steam market figures from November 1, 2026:

So "hitting a knife" from this case can mean anything from a $40 Navaja to a four-figure Talon. Case Hardened versions swing even more on pattern, which our blue gem and Case Hardened guide explains. If you're still choosing between knife styles, our CS2 knife tier list compares them.

One more detail: the same four knives in these same finishes also come from the Danger Zone Case (released December 6, 2018). The Prisma and Prisma 2 cases carry them too, but in different finishes. So the Horizon Case isn't the only source.

Horizon Case odds

Valve uses one odds table for its weapon cases, and the Horizon Case follows it:

How to read it:

• Each Covert is about 1 in 312. The red slot is shared by the Neon Rider and the Code Red, so either specific one lands around 0.32% of the time.
• A specific knife is far rarer than "a knife". Once you hit the 0.26% slot, the game picks one of four knife types and then a finish. A Talon Fade in particular is a long shot stacked on a long shot.
• There's no streak bonus. Every opening is independent. Fifty dry openings don't make the next one any luckier.
• StatTrak is separate. Non-knife items can roll StatTrak, which Valve's disclosure puts at about 1 in 10, and StatTrak copies usually sell higher.

Our CS2 case odds guide covers how these numbers apply across every case.

What an opening really costs

Two purchases go into every Horizon Case opening. On November 1, 2026:

• Case: median of about $1.90 on the Steam market, with around 3,100 sold that day.
• Key: $2.49, the standard Valve key price.
• All in: about $4.40.

That's well above the price of newer, constantly dropping cases, because the Horizon Case itself isn't a dime anymore. Over 100 openings you'd spend around $440. With average luck that buys roughly 80 blues worth about 50 cents each, 16 purples, 3 pinks, maybe a Covert, and about a one-in-four shot at any knife at all. That's a worked example using the published odds, not a prediction. Your own run could be much better or much worse. For why the key price never moves, see our CS2 key price guide.

Why the case costs more than newer ones

The Horizon Case is from 2018, and its price has climbed well above newer cases. A higher price on an old case usually means fewer new copies are arriving, so supply is tighter while people still want to open it for the knives and the Neon Rider.

We can't tell you for certain whether the Horizon Case is in today's weekly drop pool, because Valve doesn't publish the list. Check a current drop-pool tracker if it matters for your plans. Either way, nobody outside Valve can predict future case prices, so buying cases to flip later is a guess, not a plan. Our weekly care package guide explains how drops work now.

Cheaper routes to Horizon skins

If you're after something specific from this case, here's how the options stack up, from most to least predictable.

1. Buy it outright. A Field-Tested Neon Rider around $50 is yours today, without needing about 312 openings. A Navaja Safari Mesh around $44 is cheaper than ten openings. Use the Steam market, or Clash.gg balance on its marketplace, then withdraw to Steam.

2. Trade up. Horizon skins work in trade-up contracts: ten skins of one rarity become one of the next rarity, drawn from the collections you used. Since the October 2025 update, five Coverts can be traded into a knife or gloves from those Coverts' cases, so Neon Riders and Code Reds can feed a Horizon knife trade-up. Our trade-up contract guide explains the rules and float maths.

3. Claim free cases first. Clash.gg gives new players free cases through our link, with no code to type. It costs nothing, and it shows you how site cases feel before you spend.

4. Open site cases with the odds in front of you. If you enjoy opening, Clash.gg cases show each item's chance up front, and some include Horizon skins or knives. Compare the price of the case with the item values before you click. Every case is built so the house comes out ahead over time. Our best Clash.gg cases page and Clash.gg knife cases page help you compare.

5. Buy Valve keys. The priciest and least predictable choice. Only do it with fun money.

Should you open the Horizon Case?

For profit, no. At roughly $4.40 an opening, the common blue result returns about a tenth of what you paid, and the hits that cover the losses are rare by design.

For fun, a few openings can be a laugh, especially since this case gives you a shot at four different knives instead of one. Decide your budget before you start, walk away when it's spent, and don't try to win back losses. If you just want a Neon Rider or a Navaja in your loadout, buying it is the cheaper move almost every time.

Price-check checklist

Before you open, sell or trade anything from this case:

• Steam Community Market: look at the lowest listing and the median for the exact skin and wear you want. Low-volume skins like the Code Red can jump around.
• Clash.gg Stash: search "Horizon Case" to see the container and all its skins together.
• Wear and StatTrak: Factory New and StatTrak versions can cost several times more. Our float value guide explains wear ranges.

Mistakes people make with the Horizon Case

• Forgetting the case isn't cheap anymore. At around $1.90 plus a $2.49 key, the case is now a big part of the cost.
• Assuming a knife means a big payday. A Navaja Safari Mesh and a Talon Fade are both "a Horizon knife", and they're worlds apart in price.
• Treating Clash.gg odds as Valve odds. A site case with Horizon skins has its own odds table, so read it.
• Skipping wear. Battle-Scarred and Factory New Neon Riders are priced very differently.
• Buying from random sellers. Stick to Steam and known sites, and never share your Steam login or API key. Our CS2 trading scams guide lists the usual tricks.

The bottom line

The Horizon Case came out on August 3, 2018, holds 17 skins headed by the AK-47 Neon Rider and Desert Eagle Code Red, and introduced the Talon, Navaja, Stiletto and Ursus knives, 52 versions at 0.26% odds. An opening cost about $4.40 on November 1, 2026. If you want a specific skin, buy it or trade up.
