About the Shadow Daggers | Bright Water
Shadow Daggers | Bright Water is a Rare Special Item knife that drops from 2 of the 42 CS2 weapon cases: Operation Riptide Case and Dreams & Nightmares Case.
The earliest of them is the Operation Riptide Case, released on 21 September 2021.
Each open has a 0.0087% chance (about 1 in 11,538) of pulling it, as one of 30 Rare Special Item finishes in every one of those cases. One in ten of those drops is StatTrak.
It sits in tier 5 of 5 (Mil-Spec to Rare Special) and ranks #36 of 47 finishes in the Operation Riptide Case by top-wear Steam price.
Its Steam price runs from $44.15 to $49.68 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.
