Counter-Strike 2 has hundreds of skins. Most of them work in a simple and pre-determined way: the lower the float (that is, the lower the wear rate number), the better the skin looks. Of course, and as always, there are some exceptions. CS.MONEY Blog has collected the top seven skins that look better in Battle Scarred conditions than in Factory New. That is, skins with high float better than low float!

What’s even more remarkable is that most good-looking and fascinating high-float skins are much cheaper than their Factory New variations. Surely, not all of them, but still. Anyways, skeletons instead of hands, hidden inscriptions, astonishing patterns and much more below!
AK-47 Inheritance
- Collection: Kilowatt
- Rarity: Covert
- Price: from $40 to $160
The Kilowatt case became the first in Counter-Strike 2’s history. With the transition to Source 2, skin makers received many more tools, allowing them to work more intricately with different floats. AK-47 Inheritance is the gem of the Kilowatt case. While at a low float, it looks like a fragile porcelain item; in Battle-Scarred quality, golden veins and scratches appear on the body, giving the assault rifle its charm.

M4A1-S Black Lotus
- Collection: Kilowatt
- Rarity: Classified
- Price: from $9.5 to $21
Another skin from the Kilowatt collection, M4A1-S Black Lotus, became the second skin in the lineup that captivated players with its art. With increased float, the rifle becomes more purple, which many people like. Black Lotus is an inexpensive but very beautiful skin for a meta rifle.

AWP Black Nile
- Collection: Anubis
- Rarity: Mil-Spec
- Price: from $1.2 to $4
With the competitive map pool in Counter-Strike including Anubis, a themed collection was just a matter of time. Several skins in it have an interesting feature: in Factory New condition, they are almost completely black, but with increased wear, the skin acquires a warmer color. AWP Black Nile is the flagship of such skins, and its Battle-Scarred version looks more interesting than low-float variants.

AWP Atheris
- Collection: Prisma
- Rarity: Restricted
- Price: from $1.5 to $33
The previous skins change color with the increasing float, but the pattern and composition remain roughly the same. AWP Atheris, being an older skin, carries a different philosophy. The fact is that with increased wear, everything on this sniper rifle’s body wears off except the snake. Not everyone may like the dark blue background, but at a float close to the maximum, the snake is essentially pasted on an unpainted metal body.

Tec-9 Hades
- Collection: Gods and Monsters
- Rarity: Industrial
- Price: from $16 to $24
This pistol holds an interesting Easter egg. In Factory New condition, its body depicts the helmets of ancient Greek warriors, and the skin has quite a light color palette. In Tec-9 Hades of Battle-Scarred quality, we see skulls on a darker background. Considering that Hades is the god of the underworld, this feature is more than appropriate for this skin.

P250 Verdigris
- Collection: Prisma
- Rarity: Mil-Spec
- Price: from $0.1 to $1.4
When it comes to skins that look better with high float, P250 Verdigris is one of the first to be discussed. This copper-colored skin, in FN condition, is covered with a few green spots and stripes. However, as the wear increases, the entire gun turns green. The author thus reveals the natural process of “wear” of copper. With the new lighting in Counter-Strike 2, this pistol somewhat resembles the Emerald Doppler.

PP-Bizon Rust Coat
- Collection: Alpha
- Rarity: Mil-Spec
- Price: from $8 to $13
We conclude our review with a skin designed for higher floats. The whole concept of this submachine gun is to collect as much rust as possible. As a result, from a gray-blue skin at minimal floats, PP-Bizon Rust Coat turns into a reddish madness at floats close to 1. For this reason, Battle-Scarred versions of Rust Coat are the most expensive.
