Some finishes hide wear better than others, making MW versions excellent value alternatives.

What is the float value range for the M4A1-S | Printstream?
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 0.80, 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.
