The float value significantly affects the price of the skin, this is not surprising: the higher this parameter, the more abrasions and other defects are on the body of the weapon, to the point that the design becomes barely visible. As a result, market participants are willing to pay more to get skins in Factory New or Minimal Wear condition.
But there are also skins that can be called exceptions to the rule: with high wear values, their appearance practically does not deteriorate, and some even look more remarkable. An excellent opportunity to save for those who are not ready to shell out a large sum for CS2 skins with low float.
Sawed-Off Copper
Perhaps the most striking example of such a skin is Sawed-Off Copper. In full accordance with its name, this sawn-off shotgun does not contain any bright decorative elements, and the finishing of its body is made of wood and copper. This is probably the only skin where variants with high float can cost more than new ones.
The fact is that as the wear rate of a skin increases, its surface does not become covered with scratches and abrasions, like most types of weapons. Its texture realistically reproduces the aging of copper to form a patina. As a result, the surface becomes beige, then greenish, and when float approaches one — distinctly green with silvery spots. So it turns out that the “Battle-Scarred” skin looks much more interesting than the new one.
AWP Mortis
Similar changes occur with increasing float on the AWP Mortis. The gold and orange that dominate the skin's design darken, becoming more like bronze. In this case, all images decorating the skin are saved. It is possible that some may even find the darker version of the skin more attractive.
M4A1-S Decimator
The M4A1-S Decimator also changes in an interesting way. This skin is decorated with a pattern of different shades of pink and blue, and as the float increases, it doesn't lose much of its appeal. There are no noticeable scratches or abrasions on the pattern, but the surfaces darken. However, the pattern remains contrasting enough to create a three-dimensional effect, in accordance with the skin's creators' intent.
FAMAS ZX Spectron
The FAMAS ZX Spectron, designed in the style of the old ZX Spectrum personal computer, looks almost unchanged at high float values. The gray background on which the design elements are located is replaced by black, but all the details remain distinguishable and even become more contrasting.
