Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Factory New and Minimal Wear for the MAC-10 | Nuclear Garden?

Yes, the MAC-10 | Nuclear Garden is an excellent budget-friendly choice. Priced affordably, it offers the Nuclear Garden aesthetic without breaking the bank. Budget skins like this are ideal for players building their first inventory or those who prefer spending on multiple skins rather than one expensive item. The lower price point also means less financial risk if you decide to trade or sell later.
What is the float value range for the MAC-10 | Nuclear Garden?
Float values in CS2 determine a skin's wear level on a scale from 0.00 (perfect) to 1.00 (maximum wear). With a float range of 0.00 to 0.70, this skin has specific wear availability that affects pricing. 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.
