What Is a Blackiimov in CS2?

A 'Blackiimov' is the community name for an AWP Asiimov with such high float wear that the scope paint completely chips away, leaving only the matte-black metal underneath. The term was coined when collectors noticed that at exactly 0.90 float, the scope starts turning fully black. The higher the float, the 'purer' the black — milky-white speckles vanish completely around 0.95, and at 0.98-0.99 you get a flawless obsidian scope finish.

All AWP Asiimovs are restricted to float values between 0.18 and 1.00, so Blackiimovs exist only in the extreme high-wear end of that spectrum. Supply is finite — roughly 15% of all Asiimovs fall above 0.90, and sub-0.1% reach that mythical 0.99+ tier.

Blackiimov Float Ranges: Price & Rarity Breakdown

  1. 1

    0.98-0.99 Float (Flawless Blackiimov)

    Near-perfect black scope with zero visible white flecks. Extremely rare — only a handful exist.

    ~$2,500+
  2. 2

    0.95-0.97 Float (Pure Blackiimov)

    Clean black scope with minimal white pixelation. The sweet spot for serious collectors.

    $400–$800
  3. 3

    0.90-0.94 Float (Budget Blackiimov)

    Scope is fully black but retains visible white specks around edges. Great entry point.

    $100–$250
  4. 4

    0.85-0.89 Float (Pseudo-Blackiimov)

    Scope shows patches of orange/white paint. Technically not a true Blackiimov, but close.

    $80–$120
  5. 5

    0.70-0.84 Float (High Wear Asiimov)

    Scope is still mostly orange with black creeping in. Not considered a Blackiimov by purists.

    $60–$90
How to Verify a True Blackiimov

Don't trust JPEGs. In CS2, inspect the weapon in-game and hold 'F' to view the scope up close. Check the float value in your inventory or via Steam's inspect link. A Blackiimov always has a float of 0.90 or higher — no exceptions. Use CSBoard's float filter at /en/items/awp-asiimov-battle-scarred to see only verified high-float listings.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Blackiimov is any AWP Asiimov with a float value of 0.90 or higher. At 0.90, the scope's orange/white paint is fully eroded, revealing the black metal base. To be considered 'pure' or 'flawless', collectors typically demand a float of 0.95+ where residual white pixelation disappears.
