Understanding Float Values in Counter‑Strike 2
Every skin in Counter‑Strike 2 carries a hidden decimal known as the float value, ranging from 0.00 to 1.00. This number determines the visual wear of the weapon finish, influencing both aesthetics and market price. A lower float means a cleaner, more pristine appearance, while a higher float adds scratches, fading, and patina. Because the float is immutable once the item is generated, traders and collectors rely on it as the primary objective metric for valuation.
How Float Ranges Map to Wear Tiers
The float continuum is divided into five recognized wear tiers. Each tier corresponds to a specific float interval, and the market generally assigns a price premium that diminishes as the float increases. Knowing these boundaries lets you quickly estimate where a skin sits on the value curve without opening a trade window.
| Float Range | Wear Tier | Typical Price Impact |
|---|---|---|
| 0.00 – 0.07 | Factory New | Highest premium; often 2‑5× the base price |
| 0.07 – 0.15 | Minimal Wear | Moderate premium; 1.5‑2× base price |
