To earn the Weekly Care Package in CS2, you need to level up your overall rank during the week. This means you'll need to engage in matches and perform well in the game to increase your rank. The better you play, the more likely you are to level up and access these rewards. You will also earn more XP in competitive matches (at least if you're good enough).


After leveling up, players can select two out of four in-game items from the weekly care package. These items may include cases, weapon skins, or graffities.

PRO TIP: Make sure to always choose a case, since these are the most valuable.

The Weekly Care Package Resets Every Tuesday

Players can claim the weekly care package once a week. It's a recurring reward that resets on a specific schedule. The weekly reset time for the care package in Counter-Strike 2 is on every Tuesday. The exact reset time may vary depending on your time zone, but it's generally around:

  • 6 pm Pacific Time (PT)
  • 8 pm Central Time (CT)
  • 9 pm Eastern Time (ET)
  • 2 am British Summer Time (BST)
