CS2 Float Guide: How Wear Values Affect Skin Prices in 2026
TL;DR
- ▸Float is a hidden number (0.00–1.00) that controls skin wear — lower = cleaner look, more value
- ▸Factory New (0.00–0.07) skins can sell for 10–20× the price of their Battle-Scarred counterparts
- ▸Knives and covert rifles gain the biggest price jumps below 0.01 float — often 30–50% extra
- ▸CSBoard lets you filter by exact float ranges — e.g. /en/items?min_float=0&max_float=0.01
Float ≠ Exterior
Exterior is just a bracket (e.g., Factory New covers 0.00–0.07), but two ‘Factory New' skins can look drastically different. Always check the precise float before paying a premium.
