Float & wear, explained
Every CS2 skin has a hidden number between 0 and 1 called the float. It decides how worn the skin looks — and it's one of the biggest drivers of price. Drag the slider below to see how float maps to each wear tier.
Same skin, five very different faces.
Factory New
Pristine and crisp. The cleanest finish, the highest demand, and usually the highest price.
Minimal Wear
Tiny signs of use, barely visible in-game. A sweet spot of looks versus cost.
Field-Tested
Visible wear in places. The most common and most balanced tier on the market.
Well-Worn
Clearly battered, with faded paint and scratches. Cheaper, with real character.
Battle-Scarred
Heavily damaged and rugged. The most affordable way into an expensive skin.
The number behind the price tag.
Lower isn't always the rule
For most skins a lower float means a cleaner look and a higher price — but some finishes wear in unique ways, so the "best" float can be personal.
Edges within a tier
A 0.15 Field-Tested and a 0.37 Field-Tested are the same tier but look — and price — very differently. The exact number counts.
Pattern plays too
Float is only half the story. The pattern seed decides things like fade percentage and Case Hardened blues. Check the rarity guide for the bigger picture.
