Do you have questions about CS:GO skin trading? Hit me up on Twitter or check out my Twitch channel! There you have it! I hope this guide helps you better understand why CS:GO skins are priced so differently. These are the best float value items in the game currently. There are also collectors of 0.99 and up float items which receive overpay for being the worst of its kind or looking nicer when darker. Battle-ScarredĬollectors will pay a lot of extra for 0.00 float items as they look very clean and are extremely rare. The closer it is to 1, the more scratched and worn it appears.Ī weapon's exterior quality will not degrade over time and can never be changed.ĭifferent finish styles have different effects for lower weapon quality, some will get more worn and scratched where others will get darker and lighter depending on the float.Ībove: The same rifle, Factory New vs. The closer it is to 0, the cleaner the skin is. The exterior quality hierarchy is the following, from best to worst: In trade-up, the average float value of the skins used will be given to the end item. This determines the amount of wear and tear that a skin will have and is randomly generated when a skin is unboxed. For example, with King Snake gloves, the pattern is not changing so the ID will just change the location and formation of scratches and wear.Ībove: King Snake driving gloves. Other skins do not have a changing pattern at all and the pattern ID will just change how scratches appear on the skin. This is an example of an average pattern which is not worth overpay (extra money).Ībove: The spikes in prices on the sales charts are from nicer patterns being sold with bluer tops or rare stickers that have been applied on the weapon. A Stat Trak Minimal Wear version of this AK-47 recently sold for $32,000 in comparison to more average pattern Minimal Wear AK-47's in Stat Trak that sell on the market for around $200.

The Case Hardened skins pattern is taken from a large canvas and its scale and size depends on the weapon or knife.įor example, there is a Case Hardened AK-47 that has the bluest pattern on top - this is #661 and is well known as the #1 pattern for this AK-47 Case Hardened. Some skins have many patterns where almost all 1000 are unique. This is a number between 1-1000 and gives the skin a set pattern from the image file in the game. There are mechanics in the coding which help ensure every skin created in the game is unique. Items coming from containers have a 1 in 10 chance to be Stat Trak quality - these weapons track the number of kills performed by the user with the weapon and sell for more on the market. The odds from CS:GO weapon containers are as follows: There are two types of skins in the game: Collection skins which come from maps or operations and Case skins which are obtained through opening containers.Įxamples of Cases and Collections CS:GO Weapon Container Odds Trading with other players/using 3rd party websites.Trade 10 skins from the same rarity for a random higher quality item from skins used in a trade-up.Unbox them from weapon and promotional containers.You can earn skins through random drops by: CS:GO skins have been around since August 2013 when Valve released new content for the game called “Arms Deal."
