About the USP-S | Black Lotus
USP-S | Black Lotus is a Mil-Spec skin that drops from one of the 42 CS2 weapon cases, the Operation Riptide Case.
Valve released the Operation Riptide Case on 21 September 2021.
Each open has a 11.4171% chance (about 1 in 9) of pulling it, as one of 7 Mil-Spec finishes. One in ten of those drops is StatTrak.
It sits in tier 1 of 5 (Mil-Spec to Rare Special) and ranks #37 of 47 finishes in the Operation Riptide Case by top-wear Steam price.
Its Steam price runs from $0.90 to $32.63 across wears, against $14.35 to open the Operation Riptide Case (case plus $2.50 key), so 1 of its 5 priced wears are worth more than one open.
