You usually won't get any good skins unless you open cases. However if you play enough you will get a lot of them and you can sell them for money on Steam, which you could use for more expensive skins. They don't add that much to the game IMO, but I usually sell all my skins at the end of the year and buy something cheap during the holiday sales.

Yeah I mean each skin that'd dropped worth only 1-2 cents to sell though

I had one that was worth €2,50 a little while back, but everything else was below €0,10. However if you have enough (and also cards and other bullshit from other games) you can get a couple of bucks a year.

You get the cases (or buy them for very cheap) but they keys to open them you will have to buy. Personally I wouldn't say it's worth it since it's only cosmetics and doesn't really add much to the gameplay.

Well those things are certainly worth a lot. Did you sell it or do you use it?

Yes and no, I mean the normal skins you get dropped are those couple of cents skins but during operations, you can get dropped skin that's worth a couple thousands of dollars so I meh? :P (and the skin in question is a Dlore FN) 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

I have 100 hours on go and the coolest free skin I got in my opinion was an UMP-45 Urban DDPAT, won it after an Office Casual game.
