Counter-Strike: Global Offensive offers several thousand different skins, and over its ten years of existence, the community has come up with various concepts and ideas: pearlescent effects, moving stripes, mind-blowing artwork, strict minimalism and many more ideas among different skins in the game.
However, skins can vary not only in design but also in their wear quality or Float Value. As float moves, a skin can undergo specific transformations. In most cases, this involves pattern fading, scratches and all kinds of wear-out signs. But sometimes, this can lead to unexpected results when Battle-Scarred weapons are valued higher than Factory New.
We have already discussed this in a separate article, and today, CS.MONEY Blog tells about skins that wear out well and mainly won’t differ from each other in different conditions, be it BS, WW, FT or FN.
CS:GO features a certain number of skins with Float Value going up to not get scratched but rather develop a unique patina effect. In short, patina is a form of copper’s ageing visual effect. Basically, some skins will have their overall patterns remain but at the same time they just slightly darken.
We have chosen ten skins that almost don’t differ from each other in Battle-Scarred and Factory New conditions. So why pay more? Visit CS.MONEY Trade to filter the cheapest skins easily and get them quickly!
AWP Mortis
A luxurious sniper rifle inspired by the tarot card “Death.” It features a lavish and somewhat vintage design. With wear, this skin only gets a little faded, while the main changes happen with its scope and mag, where it transitions from brown to grey, which may even be more appealing to some.
- Price for AWP Mortis Factory New: approximately $11
- Price for AWP Mortis Battle Scarred: approximately $2.50
USP-S Printstream
This iconic USP-S skin became one of the first hyped pearlescent skins in CS:GO. We won’t go into its history again, because if you want to, just read the interview with JTPNZ, who created this skin.
We’ll just say that when FV for this skin get bigger, it only darkens. But if you’re not chasing the whiteness of a Hollywood smile, this skin will bring a lot of enjoyment even Battle-Scarred.
- Price for USP-S Printstream Factory New: approximately $270
- Price for USP-S Printstream Battle Scarred: approximately $60
AK-47 Bloodsport
This beautiful skin was inspired by Akira, a cult anime in the cyberpunk genre. Interestingly, as the float number increases, the skin appears somewhat dirtier but still devilishly stylish.
- Price for AK-47 Bloodsport Factory New: approximately $190
- Price for AK-47 Bloodsport Battle Scarred: approximately $110
Desert Eagle Code Red
More on futuristic red skins. Bloodsport is less vibrant than Desert Eagle Code Red (at least it can’t be called a walking billboard), but it keeps its charm. The pistol retains its pattern ultimately with high wear, but its white elements turn grey.
- Price for Desert Eagle Code Red Factory New: approximately $100
- Price for Desert Eagle Code Red Battle Scarred: approximately $20
M4A1-S Leaded Glass
If we have to choose the skin that changes the least, Leaded Glass would be one of the clear favourites. Despite being a bright skin that showcases geometric madness, its darkening is not as noticeable with an increased Float Value, especially when looking at the rifle’s body. The suppressor slightly dims, but you can remove it after all, right?
- Price for M4A1-S Leaded Glass Factory New: approximately $14
- Price for M4A1-S Leaded Glass Battle Scarred: approximately $6
Glock-18 Snack Attack
The default attack pistol has a unique skin that is dynamic, innovative and doesn’t lose its build with wear. We’re talking about Snack Attack: it features various burgers, hot dogs, French fries, and other fast food items. It’s a highly unusual design for those who enjoy tasty food!
- Price for Glock-18 Snack Attack Factory New: approximately $25
- Price for Glock-18 Snack Attack Battle Scarred: approximately $5
SCAR-20 Cardiac
The futuristic design of this sniper rifle draws attention. The blue and orange colours complement each other nicely, and the skin features details that don’t fade with wear (such as the Counter-Terrorist logo on the stock). It’s an energetic design to catch everyone’s eyes.
- Price for SCAR-20 Cardiac Factory New: approximately $17
- Price for SCAR-20 Cardiac Battle Scarred: approximately $4
MAC-10 Allure
From futurism to the past, Allure refers to the works of the legendary Katsushika Hokusai, the author of the iconic print “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” or “The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife,” which is considered to have influenced the tentacle genre (if you know what we mean). But most importantly, the work of art, MAC-10 Allure, doesn’t suffer much from high Float Values.
- Price for MAC-10 Allure Factory New: approximately $2.50
- Price for MAC-10 Allure Battle Scarred: approximately $0.50
Sawed-off Highwayman
Highwayman is an example where the skin can gain character as wear increases. The higher the float, the more accented the pattern on the shotgun’s body appears, and the darkening of the metal adds extra contrast. The ageing of Highwayman only emphasizes the vintage spirit of the skin.
- Price for Sawed-off Highwayman Factory New: approximately $3.30
- Price for Sawed-off Highwayman Battle Scarred: approximately $0.70
MP7 Armor Core
The MP7 is a popular choice when it comes to farm guns, and the Armor Core is a sleek yet stylish option. The handle visibly darkens with wear, but you won’t pay much attention to that in the heat of the firefight.
- Price for MP7 Armor Core Factory New: approximately $0.30
- Price for MP7 Armor Core Battle Scarred: approximately $0.10
