Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Factory New and Minimal Wear for the MAG-7 | Firestarter?
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 MAG-7 | Firestarter, 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.
Is the MAG-7 | Firestarter a good budget option?
Yes, the MAG-7 | Firestarter is an excellent budget-friendly choice. Priced affordably, it offers the Firestarter 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 MAG-7 | Firestarter?
Float values in CS2 determine a skin's wear level on a scale from 0.00 (perfect) to 1.00 (maximum wear). This skin cannot be obtained in Factory New condition due to its minimum float of 0.06. The best possible condition is Minimal 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.
Where is the cheapest place to buy the MAG-7 | Firestarter?
Prices vary across marketplaces due to fees, regional pricing, and seller competition. The Steam Community Market is convenient but charges 15% fees. Third-party markets like Skinport, DMarket, and Buff163 often offer lower prices with fees ranging from 5-10%. For the MAG-7 | Firestarter, we recommend comparing prices on this page's market comparison table above, which shows real-time listings from multiple verified marketplaces.

Can I use the MAG-7 | Firestarter in competitive CS2?
Yes, all weapon skins including the MAG-7 | Firestarter are purely cosmetic and can be used in all CS2 game modes including competitive matchmaking, Premier, and professional tournaments. Skins provide no gameplay advantages or disadvantages - they only change the weapon's visual appearance.
