What is Factory New in CS2?
Factory New (FN) is the highest wear condition for CS2 weapon skins. It corresponds to a float value between 0.00 and 0.07. Factory New skins look pristine with no visible scratches, fading, or texture wear, and they command the highest prices within any given skin family.
Are all skins available in Factory New?
No. Many skins have a restricted float range, meaning they can only spawn within a portion of the 0.00-1.00 scale. Skins with a minimum float higher than 0.07 cannot spawn in Factory New condition at all. AWP Asiimov is a well-known example: it can only spawn in Field-Tested or worse.
Why Factory New skins cost more
Factory New is both the cleanest visual condition and the rarest float bracket because of the narrow 0.07 window. Combined, that scarcity and visual appeal mean Factory New typically sells for 1.5x-5x more than the same skin in Field-Tested condition, with the gap widening for popular skins.
