Ultimate CS2 (CSGO) Skin Wear, Float & Condition Guide

One of the most asked questions in the CS2 (CSGO) community is what a wear, float, or weapon skin condition is. What if we told you that all 3 refer to the precise skin quality? The float value is the exact wear value of the skin; thereby, all skin floats are represented by a decimal score ranging from 0.01 to 1. Be sure to check out this guide: How To Check Your Float in CS2 (CSGO)

Here is an overview of the float ranges of CS2 (CSGO) Skins:

Those worrying that skin float may deteriorate with use… well, no. The float that it comes in is how it will stay. That said, if you want to parade your new ultra-rare skin, do so with the knowledge that there will be no consequences.

Therefore, let’s move on to the various condition classes:

CONDITION	FLOAT VALUE
Factory New	0 – 0.07
Minimal Wear	0.07 – 0.15
Field-Tested	0.15 – 0.38
Well-Worn	0.38 – 0.45
Battle-Scarred	0.45 – 1

Now, let’s take a look at how it actually looks in practice! As an example, we’ll use AK-47 Asiimov, one of the best AK-47 skins you will find on the market, but definitely not the cheapest.

Factory New Skins | 0.01 to 0.07

Factory New is the rarest skin condition. For a weapon skin to be classed as factory new, it must be in the realm of 0.01 to 0.07. 

And as you’ve probably guessed by now, these skins are often the most expensive that you will find in the marketplace. Still, it's not that terrible nowadays with how easily you can earn money by playing CS2 (CSGO).

Minimal Wear Skins | 0.07 to 0.15

Minimal Wear skins are still very desirable items within CS2 (CSGO). Regarding aesthetics, they show some signs of deterioration. They are far from mint condition, though they do offer the next best thing for a fraction of the price.

These skins have a float value of anywhere between 0.07 to 0.15. However, a 0.08 skin will often look significantly better than a 0.14 skin, despite being in the same category. So, before you go spending, be sure to give the skin a quick once over.

Field-Tested Skins | 0.15 to 0.38

Field-Tested skins are the first that always show obvious signs of deterioration. Scratches are more prominent and cover significantly more surface area of the weapon.

The float values for this class are between 0.15 and 0.38. This is a much larger gap than before, so it is important to consider the float value before purchasing. 

Well-Worn Skins | 0.38 to 0.45

Well-Worn skins have a rather small bracket of a float value ranging between 0.38 and 0.45. So yeah, not the prettiest skins out there.

The designs are recognizable but offer only fragments of the desired aesthetic that higher conditions offer. If you are in the market for something that resembles the original design, it’s recommended to go a category up at least.

Battle-Scarred | 0.45 to 1

The Battle-Scarred skins are the lowest-rated skins on the market, ranging from anywhere between 0.45 to 1 in terms of a float value. For this reason, you can see a massive variation in design quality. 

However, some anomalies within this category can offer unique designs through their immense deterioration (P2000 Imperial Dragon is a great example of that)

So yeah, we would even say that every condition has its own charm, actually. But regardless of what floats are your go-to, make sure to not overpay for them!
