What is the Exceedingly Rare Special item?
The 'Exceedingly Rare Special Items' are the different knife models. Knives unboxed can come in either a normal version or also have the chance of coming with StatTrak.
From Steam News:
Weapon Cases have a chance to contain new knives and StatTrak weapons, which track all player kills with that weapon.
The different knives that can be unboxed are:
- Bayonet
- M9 Bayonet
- Gut Knife
- Flip Knife
- Karambit
- Huntsman Knife
- Butterfly Knife
- Falchion Knife
The ★ symbol is the CS:GO version of Unusual.
Knives unboxed will have the following name:
★ KNIFE_TYPE | PATTERN
So if you unboxed a Flip Knife Night, you would see:
★ FLIP KNIFE | NIGHT
Last night I unboxed an Exceedingly Rare Special Item. It was a ★ Gut Knife | Blue Steel. And I'm loving it.
Nope.
The Exceedingly Rare Special Item is YELLOW according to the crate description.
Purple is Classified.
Strange aka StatTrak are Orange versions of weapons.
And on top of that there are different finishes, NEW being the best.
