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

Minimal Wear (MW) floats range from 0.07-0.15, with slight scratches or fading visible on close inspection. For the AK-47 | X-Ray, the price difference between FN and MW can range from 10% to over 100% depending on how visible the wear is on this particular finish. Some finishes hide wear better than others, making MW versions excellent value alternatives.

The AK-47 | X-Ray sits in the mid-to-high price bracket, offering strong value for several reasons: It features a distinctive X-Ray design that stands out in-game, maintains good liquidity for trading, and has historically held its value well. For players who main the AK-47, this skin offers an excellent balance of visual appeal and investment stability compared to budget alternatives.
What is the float value range for the AK-47 | X-Ray?
Float values in CS2 determine a skin's wear level on a scale from 0.00 (perfect) to 1.00 (maximum wear). This skin can drop in all five wear conditions, from pristine Factory New to heavily worn Battle-Scarred. 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.

Prices vary across marketplaces due to fees, regional pricing, and seller competition. The Steam Community Market is convenient but charges 15% fees.
