I’m not going to find out. For me, it’s really hard to spend money on the game, as I refuse to support RNG, and the credits are suffcient for mercs.

I opened 10 up last week and got 1 gold and 9 silvers… Looks normal 
The odds of getting a Cobalt are only a little better then the odds of getting a Bronze from a normal case.
And it is like pulling a random # out of a hat, but the hat is reset after each pull. This means each case will have pretty good odds to be a silver. Sometimes you just get an unlucky streak.

Lmao, wow. Those elite cases are massively overpriced for the odds they give. Especially considering you can spend $3.50 for the exact card you want in Bronze and above Bronze is cosmetic only.

but you can’t JUST collect them all… You need to gather the shinies 
lol
Kidding aside, the only people who should probably be buying Elite cases are those with the money to waste anyways.

Just here to do my daily reminder I have more Cobalts than you. 20, in fact!
I have also had a streak of 20+ of silver only. It is sad when it happens.

So between 2 packs of ten cases I pulled 2 Cobalt, 10 Gold and 8 Silver. Stupid lucky pulls imho. Caught a LOT of gold. Both packs of 10 were opened on different days though.
I have cracked a total of 35 cases. Grand totals are 2 Cobalt, 12 Gold, 20 Silver.(the 5 pack I bought was 1 gold 4 silver. The other 10 pack was 9 Silver 1 gold).

A bit unrelated, but by the percentages of each case, to be able to get a single cobalt card you must open…
10,000 normal cases… Since it is .01% chance(1/10,000), opening that many cases exhausts all of the options.
20 elite cases, since it is 5% chance(1/20), it would also exhaust all of the options.
Of course it doesn’t work that way all the time, but it is quite daunting seeing the percentage chance of getting a cobalt for normal cases, however, they are free. TF2 doesn’t allow the opportunity to get unusuals for free.

once Cobalt tradeup will be available, all those silvers can be put to good use.

Actually its 0.1%, so the odds are 0 times better than you thought. Must be your lucky day

Well, considering my luck on normal cases, if I tried a 10-er for the elite cases I’d probably end up with 10 silvers. I’ve opened plenty of normal cases and have only gotten like 3 irons.
