Materials for crafts and attempts to create #1 float in the world ranking. Skins below 0.001 are collector-grade — on popular skins (AK-47 Redline, AWP Asiimov) a 0.000x float can sell for 50-300% above market. Record-low floats on iconic skins have sold for 2000%+ over market price.

CS2 trade-up formula: output float = min + avg_input × (max - min). Using 10 skins with average float below 0.07 guarantees a Factory New output. MW skins in the 0.07-0.08 range are the cheapest way to guarantee FN crafts, making them 15-40% more expensive than regular MW on Buff163/CSFloat.

Visually near-identical to Minimal Wear. An AK-47 Redline at 0.16 sells for 30-40% more than the same skin at 0.37 on Buff163 — both are FT, but appearance drives the price. Sellers list these as 'BTA' (Better Than Average) and consistently get 10-30% over market.

FT has the second widest float spectrum (0.15-0.379), so a 0.38 WW looks nearly identical to 0.37 FT. Buyers who compare prices see WW is cheaper than FT, but at 0.38 the look is the same — creating steady demand at 5-15% above typical WW prices on marketplaces.

BS covers 0.45-0.99 — the widest tier. Skins at 0.45-0.55 look dramatically better than 0.90+. Popular with budget buyers who want a decent look without paying FT prices. On high-volume skins this range consistently sells 5-15% above lowest BS listings.

Collector niche: the most battle-damaged look possible. The famous 'Blackiimov' (AWP Asiimov 0.95+) sells for 50-200% over market — only ~1.4% of Asiimovs have float above 0.95. AK Asiimov at 0.99 has sold for $1000+ vs ~$40 market. Ultra-max 0.999x on iconic skins can reach 2500%+ premium.
