Aight, so here’s the deal with float values—it’s the number that decides how clean or beat-up your skin looks. Every skin in CS2 has a float, and it ranges from 0.00 (Factory New) to 1.00 (Battle-Scarred). Think of it like wear and tear stats—low float = fresh out of the box, high float = dragged through CS2 for ten years.

And here’s the crazy part—two skins that look the same in your inventory might be different under the hood. You could have a clean-looking AK with a 0.03 float, and someone else has the same skin at 0.75, scratched to hell, and it’s worth way less. That float changes everything—price, flex value, even how it looks in-hand.

The Factory New is The Float Value Everyone Wants

Factory New is the top-tier among CS2 float values. The elite. The “just unboxed this bad boy five seconds ago” look. If a skin has a float between 0.00 and 0.07, it lands in Factory New (FN) condition, which means it’s super clean, barely any scratches, like it hasn’t even seen a match on CS2 yet.

You pull a Factory New AK or AWP? That’s a flex right there. The colors pop, the wear is almost nonexistent, and people will check your float if they know your skin. A 0.01 float? Chef’s kiss. A 0.000X float? Now you’re talking collector level. That’s when the skin goes from just “nice” to “how much you want for that?”

Minimal Wear is Good Plus Cheaper

Minimal Wear is that sweet middle ground—like, your skin’s been through a couple matches, maybe slid across B site once or twice, but still looks crispy. The float range for Minimal Wear is 0.07 to 0.15, and honestly? It’s one of the best bang-for-your-buck zones out there.

You get that clean look, almost Factory New, but without paying FN prices. Sometimes you barely even notice the difference, especially with skins that hide wear well like the AK Redline or M4A1-S Hyper Beast. A 0.08 float? Looks new. A 0.14? You might start seeing a few nicks here and there, but still solid.

Field-Tested CS2 Skins

Field-Tested is where things start looking a little worn—but in a battle-hardened kind of way, not trash. The float range is 0.15 to 0.38, and yeah, depending on the skin, it can still look clean or kinda scuffed. Some FT skins barely show wear if the float’s low—like a 0.16? Still decent. But once you hit the high end—0.37, 0.38—you’re seeing some scratches, fading, maybe the paint’s crying a little.

But here’s the thing—Field-Tested is underrated. You can grab dope skins for way cheaper, and with the right float, some FT skins look just as good as Minimal Wear. It’s all about knowing what skins hide wear well. Stuff like the Asiimov, Redline, or Neo-Noir still looks clean even in FT.

Well-Worn Float Value

Well-Worn is when your skin’s seen some, let`s say, bad times. Float range is 0.38 to 0.45, and yeah… at this point, the scratches are real. It’s like your gun’s been dropped, kicked, and dragged across every bombsite from CS2. Not terrible, but you’re not passing it off as clean anymore.

But here’s the thing—some Well-Worn skins still slap. Certain designs hide wear better than others, and if the float’s on the low end (like 0.39), it might still look pretty solid. Plus, prices drop hard here, so if you’re tryna flex on a tight budget, this is where you can scoop a fan-favorite skin for way cheaper.

And Finally Battle-Scarred

Battle-Scarred is the bottom of the barrel—but somehow, it still hits in its own gritty way. Float range is 0.45 to 1.00, and by this point, your skin looks like it’s been through everything. We’re talking heavy scratches, faded paint, maybe half the design’s just straight-up missing. Some of them look like your AK got run over by a tank—but hey, it still shoots.

Now don’t get it twisted—some BS skins still go hard, especially if the artwork holds up well.

What Else About CS2 Float Value?

Yo, not all high-float skins are trash — some still look mad clean even when they’re Field-Tested, Well-Worn, or straight-up Battle-Scarred. Like the AK Redline? That thing barely changes. Even at BS, it still rocks that sleek, dark carbon-fiber look with the red accents popping hard. Same with the AWP Asiimov people think scratches ruin it, but nah, it looks better a little scuffed, like it’s been through war and still hits headshots. AK Slate is another one — it’s all black, super minimal, and float barely affects it, so you can grab a BS version for cheap and still look clean. The Neo-Noir on the M4A4 hides wear like a pro too, and that comic-style art stays sharp even when the float’s kinda cooked. Glock Candy Apple, Deagle Blaze, USP-S Cyrex — all those skins got that bold color or clean finish that doesn’t get wrecked by wear.

Don’t forget about skin patterns. Even with the same float, skins can look different due to their pattern ID—this affects things like sticker placement, rare features (like the Fire Serpent’s head), or special patterns on knives, making some items way more valuable than others.

Conclusion

You’re out here thinking you got a deal, but if you didn’t check the float? You might’ve just overpaid for a scuffed mess.

Traders always check float, especially if you’re flipping skins or doing trade-ups. Low float = higher value, easier to sell, better chance of profit. It’s like knowing the mileage on a used car — would you buy one blind? Nah.
