All Skin Conditions in CS2

Not all skins in Counter-Strike 2 are the same, even if they share the same name. Skins with the same names can differ in their wear level, which significantly affects their appearance. The lower the CS2 skin condition, the more its pattern will be prone to scratches and other elements of wear and tear. The wear level is assigned to a skin when it appears in the game and does not change – it cannot be improved or worsened.

Each skin also has a float value ranging from 0 to 1, which depends on its wear level. The closer the value is to 0, the higher the quality of the skin, and vice versa. In this article, we will explain the different skin conditions in CS2 and what they mean.

Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred, Conclusion

Factory New 

"Factory New" CS2 skins have float values from 0 to 0.07. These skins look perfect and are highly valued among players. You will rarely find any scratches or scuffs on skins in this condition.

Generally, "Factory New" skins are also the most expensive on the market. For example, the price of a "Factory New" AK-47 | Hydroponic skin will be several times higher than the same skin with more wear.

Minimal Wear 

The second-best skin quality you can get in CS2 is "Minimal Wear." The float values of these skins range from 0.07 to 0.15. These skins show the first signs of scratches and scuffs, but they still look good. Buying a "Minimal Wear" skin is like buying a used item that is still in almost new condition.

When purchasing "Minimal Wear" skins, you need to be careful and consider several options. The difference in float values can greatly affect the appearance of skins in this category. Be vigilant!

Field-Tested 

Next are "Field-Tested" skins, with float values from 0.15 to 0.38. Usually, these skins show a noticeable degree of wear – significant scratches and scuffs, as well as a duller color.

The main advantage of "Field-Tested" skins is their price, which is 50-90% of the price of the same skin in "Minimal Wear" condition. It's like buying a car at the lower end of the market, where the technical condition is still good, but the appearance is already lacking.

Well-Worn 

One of the worst conditions for skins in CS2 is "Well-Worn." The float value of these skins ranges from 0.38 to 0.45. On such skins, you will find serious signs of wear – numerous scratches and worn areas, and the paint will look faded.

Although buying "Well-Worn" CS2 skins can save you some money, this saving is unlikely to be justified. It won't be significant compared to "Field-Tested" skins, and the appearance will suffer greatly, likely bringing you little pleasure.

Battle-Scarred 

"Battle-Scarred" is the worst condition for skins in CS2. It has a float value from 0.45 to 1. These skins are heavily worn, with numerous scratches and scuffs. The paint on such skins looks dull and unattractive.

The appearance of these skins varies greatly depending on the float value. Sometimes high wear can give a skin an interesting look, but this is far from always the case. The only situation where a "Battle-Scarred" skin will be expensive is if you manage to get a rare maximum float value of 0.99999988079071. Collectors will be willing to pay a hefty sum for such a skin.

Conclusion

Now you know all about the different CS2 skin conditions and what they affect. In the future, you will be able to easily determine the rarity and value of a particular skin based on its float value.
