Everything you need to know about float values — wear tiers, price impact, low float premiums, and how to check float for any skin.
| Float Range | Condition | Avg Price | vs Average | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.00 – 0.07 | Factory New | Highest price | Minimal to no wear | Premium |
| 0.07 – 0.15 | Minimal Wear | High price | Slight imperfections | Recommended |
| 0.15 – 0.38 | Field-Tested | Mid price | Visible wear, most common | Budget |
| 0.38 – 0.45 | Well-Worn | Low price | Heavy scratching | Avoid |
| 0.45 – 1.00 | Battle-Scarred | Lowest price | Maximum wear | Collector only |
Price impact varies by skin — high-value skins see the largest absolute differences between tiers. Use our inspect tool to check the exact float of any skin.
Every skin in CS2 has a float value — a precise decimal number between 0.00 and 1.00 that determines its visual wear condition. This number is assigned permanently when the skin drops or is unboxed and never changes, regardless of how much you play with it. Float is the single most important factor in skin pricing after the skin name itself: two copies of the same skin can differ by 2–10x in price based solely on float value.
CS2 divides the 0.00–1.00 float range into five named wear tiers: Factory New (0.00–0.07), Minimal Wear (0.07–0.15), Field-Tested (0.15–0.38), Well-Worn (0.38–0.45), and Battle-Scarred (0.45–1.00). Not every skin can exist in every tier — each skin has its own minimum and maximum float. For example, the AWP Asiimov can only be Field-Tested or Battle-Scarred (0.18–1.00), while the AK-47 Fire Serpent can never be Factory New (minimum float 0.06).
The price impact of float varies dramatically by skin. An AK-47 Redline might cost $32 at float 0.25 (FT) but $80 at float 0.01 (FN) — a 2.5x difference. An AWP Dragon Lore at float 0.30 (FT) might be $800, while a 0.001 FN copy could fetch $5,000+ — over 6x more. Generally, the rarer and more expensive the skin, the more float matters in absolute dollar terms.
Float matters most on skins where visual wear is obvious — scratches on metallic surfaces, paint chipping on detailed artwork, or fading on vibrant colors. On some skins (like certain knives), the visual difference between 0.01 and 0.06 is barely noticeable. On others (like the AWP Queen's Gambit with its gold engravings), even small float differences create dramatically different visual results. Know your skin before overpaying for low float.
