Although we say float values are hidden, there are some third party services that allow you to check what a skin's float value is via the Steam API. Simply put, the closer a skin's float value is to 0, the better quality it will be.

Float values are numbers between 1 and 0 that represent how 'worn' a skin is.

Conditions are assigned when a skin is unboxed, and never (ever) change - you can't improve or worsen a skin's condition.Įach skin has a hidden 'float value'. Skins with lower conditions will have worse quality paint jobs, scratches, and generally have a more degraded look. You might think that one P250 Sand Dune is the same as the others, but chances are they each have different a 'condition', also known as 'skin wear' or 'skin quality'.Ī skin's condition affects the quality of the weapon, quite literally.
