Float Value

A number between 0.00 and 1.00 that defines the exact wear of a CS2 skin. Lower floats look cleaner and sell for more.

What is a float value in CS2?

The float value (also called wear value) is a decimal between 0.00 and 1.00 that Counter-Strike 2 assigns to every skin when it drops. The float determines how scratched, faded, or pristine the skin looks in-game. Two skins with the same name can look noticeably different depending on their float.

How float values map to wear conditions

CS2 splits the 0.00-1.00 float range into five 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). A skin with a 0.001 float is one of the cleanest possible examples of its wear tier and usually commands a premium.

Why float value matters for price

Within the same wear tier, lower floats look better and sell for more. Float-capped or low-float skins in Factory New condition can sell for 2-10x the average price of their tier, especially for rare patterns. Marketplaces like CSFloat surface the exact float of every listing so buyers can choose.

Frequently asked questions about Float Value

Where can I check the float value of a CS2 skin?

You can check the float value by inspecting the skin in-game, or by using marketplaces like CSFloat that display the exact float of every listing. Skinstrack also surfaces float ranges in the item details panel on each skin page.

Is a lower float always better?

Lower floats are generally more desirable within the same wear tier because they look cleaner. However, the price premium depends on the skin pattern. Some skins (like AK-47 Case Hardened) are valued more for their pattern index than for low float.

Do all CS2 items have float values?

No. Float values only apply to weapon skins, knives, and gloves. Stickers, music kits, cases, agents, charms, and graffiti do not have float values and look identical regardless of how they were obtained.
