Frequently Asked Questions

Factory New (FN) skins have float values between 0.00-0.07, showing minimal to no visible wear. Minimal Wear (MW) floats range from 0.07-0.15, with slight scratches or fading visible on close inspection. For the AUG | Hot Rod, 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.

For players who main the AUG, this skin offers an excellent balance of visual appeal and investment stability compared to budget alternatives.
What is the float value range for the AUG | Hot Rod?
Float values in CS2 determine a skin's wear level on a scale from 0.00 (perfect) to 1.00 (maximum wear). This is a restricted float skin that can only drop in Factory New or near-FN condition, making all examples relatively clean. 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.
