Accepted Answer

Question 6

How does float value affect Bayonet Fade pricing?

Accepted Answer

Float value impacts price in two ways: wear on the blade spine and overall brightness. Factory New (0.00-0.07) is the standard. Minimal Wear (0.07-0.15) trades at a 10-15% discount but looks nearly identical in CS2's lighting. Field-Tested (0.15-0.38) shows visible scratches and drops 25-35% from Factory New prices. Avoid Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred — they're hard to resell.

Factory New (0.00-0.07)	$900 – $1,100	$1,600 – $1,800	$2,300 – $2,600
