Question 1

What exactly is CS2 float?

Accepted Answer

Float is a 0.00–1.00 number generated when a skin drops. Lower numbers mean less wear (cleaner look). The valve uses it to assign a wear tier: Factory New (0.00–0.07), Minimal Wear (0.07–0.15), Field-Tested (0.15–0.38), Well-Worn (0.38–0.45), Battle-Scarred (0.45–1.00).

Question 2

How do I check a skin's float value before buying?

Accepted Answer

In CS2, inspect the item in-game; the exact float is displayed in the preview window since the 2024 update. On external marketplaces like CSBoard, you can view the float via the listing detail — each listing shows the precise wear value so you know exactly what you're getting.

Question 3

What is a Blackiimov and why does it need high float?

Accepted Answer

Blackiimov refers to an AWP Asiimov with float ≥0.95. At this extreme wear, the white scope turns completely black, creating a desired look. Only Battle-Scarred can have such high float; max-float 0.99x is most expensive, often over $1,200. CSBoard lists Blackiimov candidates at /en/items/awp-asiimov-battle-scarred.

Question 4

Does low float always mean a higher price?

Accepted Answer

For most skins, yes — lower float = closer to Factory New perfection. But some collector niches value max-float (like Blackiimov) or specific wear for certain patterns. On Case Hardened or Crimson Web knives, float affects corner/wear placement, so a 0.15 FT could look better than a 0.38 FT. Always check the float and inspect screenshots.

Question 5

Can I filter by float range on CSBoard?

Accepted Answer

CSBoard currently sorts by wear condition automatically. You can search for a specific skin and then refine by condition (FN, MW, FT, WW, BS). The listing detail always shows the exact float, so you can pick the precise wear you want. For tier filtering on patterns, you can apply ?tier=Tier-2, but for float the condition filter covers your needs.

Question 6

How do float ranges affect CSBoard trading fees?

Accepted Answer

CSBoard charges zero trading fees and zero commission on P2P sales regardless of a skin's float. Whether you're selling a 0.99 Blackiimov or a 0.001 Karambit, you keep 100% of the sale price in USDT. P2P trades happen directly between players via Steam's trade system.

Factory New	0.00 – 0.07	100% (baseline)	Capped at 0.07; true 0.00x rare and overpay
Minimal Wear	0.07 – 0.15	~70–90%	Often best value; low-float MW near 0.07 trades at premium
Field-Tested	0.15 – 0.38	~50–80%	Wide range; low-float FT (0.15–0.20) can match MW look
Well-Worn	0.38 – 0.45	~40–60%	Narrow band; rarely profitable unless pattern-based overpay
Battle-Scarred	0.45 – 1.00	~30–50%	Max-float (0.95+) sought after for 'Blackiimov' and similar skins
