About the Operation Hydra Case
Released on May 23, 2017 with the "Operation Hydra" update, Operation Hydra Case carries the same built-in prestige most operation cases do, but with a stronger modern gold-tier identity than the oldest examples. That gives it a collector angle without making it feel completely prehistoric.
Hydra's price is driven by limited supply and operation status at least as much as by the skins inside. In other words, it behaves like a case people keep around because it is part of a specific moment in CS history, not because the average opening looks kind.
Key Facts

When was the Operation Hydra Case added to CS2?▼

What is the expected ROI of the Operation Hydra Case?▼
29.1% — meaning a $52.44 opening (case + key) returns about $15.27 on average. Most value is locked behind the rare special items — the average opening returns less than cost.
Does the Operation Hydra Case have StatTrak™ items?▼
Yes. Non-special skins can drop as StatTrak™ at a 10% chance. The variant tracks in-game kills and usually trades at a premium over the standard version.
