The Karambit Marble Fade skin in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive can only be obtained from one of three cases, but its rarity makes it very costly.
There are many unique skins available for a variety of weapons in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, but the Karambit Marble Fade is one of the most difficult, and most sought after, cosmetics to obtain. This skin can be purchased from other players via the Steam market, but it’s very expensive, ranging from around $900 to over $2,000 depending on the seller and how worn the item is. Players also have the option of trading with others for the Karambit Marble Fade, but they will likely need to have something of equal or higher value to offer.
Instead of buying or trading for the knife, players can try their luck with specific cases to get the Karambit Marble Fade. Cases can be obtained randomly at the end of a match or purchased for varying prices. Although some money will still need to be spent, buying a case is much cheaper than purchasing a specific rare skin. The downside is that players may need to buy and open many cases before they get the skin they want to use in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
The Karambit Marble Fade appears in the Chroma, Chroma 2, and Chroma 3 cases. To open the case, players will also need the specific key that goes with it. Keys also vary in price in the Steam market, but they can be purchased in-game for $2.49 if available. Each Chroma case has its own key, so players should be sure they purchase the correct one. Using the key will open the crate and give players one of many possible prizes, and the Karambit Marble Fade may be awarded if it stops on the rare special item icon.
How To Get Chroma Cases In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
There’s more than one way to obtain a Chroma case and try for a Karambit Marble Fade. The easiest way is to earn one for free randomly while completing matches. Players are limited to three random case drops per week while playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive matches, and they are awarded at the end. However, the drops are random, so players won’t necessarily get the cases they need.
Chroma cases can be obtained randomly for matches in Counter-Strike: Globl Offensive, and they can also be bought in the Steam Market or traded for with other players. After obtaining a case, players should check the in-game shop first to see if the key they need is available. If not, then a key will also need to be bought or traded for. With both items, players will be able to open the case and attempt to get the Karambit Marble Fade.
To open a case, players can access their inventory, then find the case they want to open. It should be a Chroma, Chroma 2, or Chroma 3 case. If players still need a key, they can buy it from the case screen using the green button at the bottom. When a key is acquired, the option to unlock the case will be available, and doing so will trigger a roulette animation. If it lands on the rare special item icon, then players have a chance to receive the Karambit Marble Fade in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is available for PC.
