About the MP9 | Starlight Protector
MP9 | Starlight Protector is a Covert skin that drops from one of the 42 CS2 weapon cases, the Dreams & Nightmares Case.
Valve released the Dreams & Nightmares Case on 20 January 2022.
Each open has a 0.3200% chance (about 1 in 313) of pulling it, as one of 2 Covert finishes. One in ten of those drops is StatTrak.
It sits in tier 4 of 5 (Mil-Spec to Rare Special) and ranks #20 of 47 finishes in the Dreams & Nightmares Case by top-wear Steam price.
Its Steam price runs from $80.24 to $126.69 across wears, against $4.00 to open the Dreams & Nightmares Case (case plus $2.50 key), so every wear is worth more than one open.
