Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Factory New and Minimal Wear for the AK-47 | Blue Laminate?

What is the float value range for the AK-47 | Blue Laminate?
Float values in CS2 determine a skin's wear level on a scale from 0.00 (perfect) to 1.00 (maximum wear).

Lower float values within any condition category (e.g., 0.01 vs 0.06 in Factory New) result in cleaner appearances and typically command higher prices. For high-value trades, always verify the exact float value using inspection tools.
