- The Fracture Collection part of today's Fracture Case can be viewed in a carousel over here in what is an otherwise really short blog post
- CS:GO Stash also has the Fracture Case up on its site with in-game inspection links and inventory images. If there's something you see that you really like and absolutely must have this minute, just click the Steam Community Market shortcut below an item

- Item descriptions and flavor text for Fracture Case items are as follows:
- Negev Ultralight: "It has been custom painted with a gray digital camo pattern and teal arrows. Got a light?"
- AK-47 Legion of Anubis: "A custom paint job featuring Egyptian gods Anubis and Ra, representing the balance between life and death, has been applied. May he tip the scales in your favor"

- MAG-7 Monster Call: "It has been custom painted with a blue base and underwater creatures in the foreground. There's always a bigger, greener fish"
- Desert Eagle Printstream: "It has been custom painted with a stark black and white design and finished with pearlescent highlights. WHITE_1; BLACK_1; PEARLESCENT_1;"
- Glock-18 Vogue: "A pair of eyes grace the slide of this custom painted, Pop art inspired Glock. "Look at me while I'm shooting at you!" "
- Tec-9 Brother: "It has been custom painted with a brown and gold camo pattern and a T-sided agent beneath the rear sight. I'll watch our butts"
- MAC-10 Allure: "A woman in teal, believed to be iso onna, stands before koi fish and crashing waves on this custom painted MAC-10. Beauty begets bloodshed"
- SG 553 Ol' Rusty: "Originally polished steel, moisture has changed this weapon's appearance. "Ol' Rusty" has been stamped above the trigger casing. A rusty, trusty friend"
- SSG 08 Mainframe 001: "A high tech custom paint job of blues and purples has been applied. What secrets does _001 hold?"
