Breakout Case

The beloved Breakout Case is up to USD 4.14! Every investor loves to see the case going up and up. With the current price, the Breakout Case is close to reaching its all-time high of around USD 4.80 that it had all the way back when it was released in 2014! With that, the insane development of the Breakout case continues. We are tuned what this case will bring in the future.

Welcome to the Jungle Kato Craft!

Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games! For the first craft of today's Monthly Recap we're starting off hot. As you might have already seen on the thumbnail of the article @flash5219 decided to apply four Katowice 2014 Clan Mystik Holos on a M4A1-S Welcome to the Jungle!

We love how the Clan Mystik sticker combines with the color scheme and especially with the red parts of the gun and the orange color of the snake. What an amazing fit for a price tag of around USD 20.800.

Gungnir Kato Paper Craft

Not as crazy as the previously mentioned craft when it comes to the price tag, but definitely up there when it comes to the overall look, what an amazing fit! @erupT_cs decided to scrape a Krakow Gold off of it and apply the fourth sticker onto the Gungnir. Overall surely worth it as he completed one of the perfect matches for the blue high-tier AWP! In total the craft exists 7 times.

CSmoney: Big HACK

CSmoney, one of the biggest and most popular marketplaces within CS:GO was victim of an enormous hack attack in mid August. While first reports talked about around 1.6 Million USD in damage, at the end CSmoney stated that skins worth around 6 Million USD got stolen. Following the attack the marketplace was closed for around 12 days!

In between that the CS:GO community stood together and multiple people, as well as other companies helped CSmoney to resolve the situation and identify the hacker accounts. According to CSmoney (22.08.2022) around half of the skins got returned. They also stated that they guarantee to cover all potential user losses!

CSmoney is now back online, but still has a few limitations. If you want to find out more about the original hack and how it happened check out our detailed report about it: The Biggest Hack in CS:GO history - CSmoney. We wish CSmoney and the involved users all the best going forward!

CS:GO got released on the 21.08.2012 and is up to date one of the biggest and most successful games ever.
