CSGO Float – CS2 Float Value Guide (2026)

Every CS2 skin has a csgo float value between 0 and 1. Lower float means less wear. A 0.001 Factory New looks pristine. A 0.069 Factory New shows visible scratches. Both say “FN” on the label. The float number tells the real story. Understanding float values saves you money when buying and makes you money when selling.

What Is Float Value?

Float value is a permanent decimal assigned to each skin when it drops or gets unboxed. It never changes. Not from trading. Not from applying stickers. Not from renaming. The number stays the same forever. It determines how worn the skin looks in-game.

All 5 Wear Conditions

Condition	Abbreviation	Float Range	Visual Appearance
Factory New	FN	0.00 to 0.07	Minimal to no scratches. Cleanest look.
Minimal Wear	MW	0.07 to 0.15	Light scratches. Hard to notice in-game.
Field-Tested	FT	0.15 to 0.38	Moderate wear visible. Most common condition.
Well-Worn	WW	0.38 to 0.45	Heavy wear. Clear damage marks.
Battle-Scarred	BS	0.45 to 1.00	Maximum wear. Paint heavily chipped.

Field-Tested is the most common condition. Most case drops land here. Factory New commands the highest price premium. Battle-Scarred is the cheapest, except for specific skins where high wear creates desirable looks (like the AWP Blackiimov).

How Float Affects Price

Float	Condition Label	Price Impact
0.000x	Factory New	Massive premium (collector tier)
0.01 to 0.03	Factory New	High premium
0.04 to 0.06	Factory New	Standard FN price
0.07 to 0.10	Minimal Wear	Close to FN price
0.15 to 0.25	Field-Tested	Standard market price
0.38 to 0.45	Well-Worn	Below average
0.45 to 1.00	Battle-Scarred	Lowest (some exceptions)

Two skins with the same name and condition label sell for wildly different prices based on float. A 0.001 AK-47 Redline costs 10x more than a 0.069 Redline. Both say “FN.” The float makes the difference.

How to Check Float Value

Method 1: In-Game

Open your inventory. Right-click a skin. Select “Inspect.” Click the info button (bottom right). The float appears under “Wear Rating.”

Method 2: CSFloat Browser Extension

Install the CSFloat extension in Chrome. It shows float values directly on Steam Market listings. No extra clicks needed. Also shows pattern seeds and CSFloat marketplace prices.

Float Value Tips for Trading

Always check float before buying. Two “Factory New” skins look different at 0.001 vs 0.069. The float tells you what you’re actually getting.

Low float = premium price. Skins with 0.00x float sell for significantly more. Collectors pay extra for the cleanest possible version.

Float cap matters. Some skins don’t drop below certain floats. An AWP Asiimov can’t be Factory New. The minimum float is 0.18 (Field-Tested). Check the skin’s float range before hunting for low floats.

Sell low-float skins on CSFloat. The platform lets buyers search by exact float. Your 0.003 skin gets found by collectors willing to pay premium. Steam Market doesn’t show float values. Read our CSFloat review.

Special Float Cases

AWP Blackiimov. An AWP Asiimov with 0.95+ float. The scope turns completely black. Higher float = more valuable. Opposite of normal skins.

Case Hardened patterns. Float matters less than pattern seed. A 0.50 float blue gem beats a 0.01 non-blue gem every time.

StatTrak + low float. Combining StatTrak with extremely low float creates the rarest versions. Prices multiply.
