CS2 Float Values Explained

A float value is a 0 to 1 number that sets how worn a CS2 skin looks. The exact wear range table, and what recorded CSFloat sales show about how much wear moves the price of a rare pattern.

CSFloat vs Steam Market: Why Rare Pattern Prices Don't Match

Steam Market prices a CS2 skin by name and wear only, so a Blue Gem and an ordinary copy share one price. CSFloat records the pattern index on every sale and pays out in cash. Why this site uses CSFloat sales, and where that data falls short.

Every tracked Desert Eagle Heat Treated Blue Gem seed across three tiers, what seed 490 and the other Tier 1 gems have sold for on CSFloat, and how much wear and stickers move the price.

How Stickers Affect CS2 Skin Prices

Stickers usually add only a fraction of their cost to a skin, but a rare craft can multiply a sale price. Real CSFloat sales show how stickers distort pattern prices and how to read around them.

How to Check the Pattern Index of a CS2 Skin

What Is a CS2 Pattern Index?

A CS2 pattern index is a number from 0 to 1000 that fixes how a skin's finish sits on the weapon. What it changes, which skins it matters on, and how to price one from real sales.
