Understanding Float Values in CS2 & CS:GO

Float values determine the visual appearance and wear condition of weapon skins in Counter-Strike.

What is Float Value?

Float value is a number between 0 and 1 that determines how worn or damaged a skin appears in-game. Lower float values mean better condition, while higher values indicate more wear. Each skin is assigned a random float value when unboxed or dropped.

The float system was introduced by Valve in 2015 to add variety and collectibility to CS:GO skins. This system has been maintained in CS2, keeping the entire skin economy intact during the transition.

Wear Categories

Wear Category Float Range Visual Impact
Factory New (FN) 0.00 - 0.07 Minimal to no visible wear
Minimal Wear (MW) 0.07 - 0.15 Slight wear, minor scratches
Field-Tested (FT) 0.15 - 0.38 Moderate wear and scratches
Well-Worn (WW) 0.38 - 0.45 Heavy wear, significant scratches
Battle-Scarred (BS) 0.45 - 1.00 Extreme wear, heavy scratches

Impact on Price

Float values significantly impact skin prices. Lower float values (closer to 0) generally command higher prices, especially for rare or popular skins like the Dragon Lore or Crimson Web knives.

For high-tier items, a difference of just 0.01 in float value can result in price differences of hundreds or even thousands of dollars. This makes float value one of the most important factors in CS2 skin trading and collecting.

Certain "collector's float values" are especially valuable, such as 0.00x (three zeros), 0.000x (four zeros), or pattern-specific float values that produce unique appearances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about CS2 and CS:GO float values and skin checking

How do I find my skin's inspect link?

To find a skin's inspect link:

  1. Open your Steam inventory
  2. Right-click on the skin you want to check
  3. Select "Copy inspect link"
  4. Paste the link into our float checker tool

The inspect link works for items in your inventory, on the Steam market, or in other players' inventories that are set to public.

Why can't some skins be Factory New?

Each skin in CS2 and CS:GO has a predetermined float range set by Valve. Some skins, like the AWP Asiimov, have a restricted float range (0.18 to 0.50), meaning they can never exist in Factory New or Minimal Wear condition.

This is an intentional design choice that affects the skin's rarity and market value. The AWP Asiimov, for example, only exists in Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred variants.

What are "Blackiimovs" and other special float patterns?

Certain skins develop unique visual characteristics at specific float values:

  • Blackiimov: AWP Asiimov with float >0.90, where the scope becomes completely black
  • Blue Gem: Case Hardened skins with high amounts of blue pattern
  • Full Fade: Fade knives with 100% fade coloration
  • Diamond/Heart: Special patterns on Crimson Web skins

These special patterns often command significant price premiums over standard versions of the same skin.

How often are float values updated in CS2?

A skin's float value is permanently assigned when it's first generated (through a case opening, trade-up, or drop) and never changes throughout its existence. The float value stays the same even when the skin is traded between players.

The transition from CS:GO to CS2 maintained all skin float values intact, preserving the established skin economy.

What's the most accurate way to check CS2 float values?

The most accurate way to check CS2 float values is through specialized tools like CSFloat that access Valve's API directly. Our tool provides precise float values to 10 decimal places, helping traders identify exact wear ratings and special patterns.

Simply paste your skin's inspect link into our checker for instant, accurate results that include float value, wear category, pattern index, and estimated market value.

How do pattern indexes affect skin value?

Pattern indexes determine how a skin's texture is applied, creating unique variations. Certain patterns can significantly increase value:

  • Case Hardened skins with pattern index 661 (known as the "Scar pattern") can sell for 10-20x market price
  • Marble Fade knives with "Fire & Ice" patterns command substantial premiums
  • Crimson Web skins with centered web patterns are highly sought after

Our float checker identifies valuable pattern indexes to help you understand your skin's true worth.
