The contents of a single case outside of the rare special items are considered to be part of a single collection. Skin Collections For a list of skin collections, see Skin Collections and for cases, see Weapon CasesĮxcluding knife skins, weapon skins are organized by collections. “ This style uses a combination of patina and custom paint styles. “ This style enables extremely customized looks in a full range of colors. Real-life weapon patinas include case hardening, cold bluing, and acid forced patinas. “ A patina is a chemical reaction that forms a non-reactive, hardened shell over metallic parts. In the real world, methods could include silk-screening or adherable stencils.
“ In this style, the candy coat may be applied in a multicolored pattern. “ This style emulates applying the candy coat via freehand airbrushing. Instead the effect is often mimicked by applying a colored candy coat over a chrome base. “ Many comon firearms materials cannot be anodized. The film adheres to the primed weapon parts, covering the surface with a pattern. “ Disassembled weapon parts are lowered through a floating hydrographic film on the surface of a water tank. “ The weapon is spray-painted with multiple coats through stencil patterns. “ Individual components of the weapon are painted with up to four unique colors before reassembly. There are several finishes which a skin can adopt. Patterns with lots of blue are known as "blue gems" and are typically more expensive.
A good example of this is the AK-47 - Case Hardened. This drives the price of specific items with specific items up in value.
There are many interesting seeds for various weapon finishes and some are more sought after than others.
This information is stored in a visible pattern index seed between 1 & 1000. The float hierarchy is the following, from best to worst:īased on the finish style used, the same skin may have different looks due to variations with texture offset and displacement. For example, a P250 - Whiteout cannot have a float lower than 0.06, or a float higher than 0.80.ĭifferent finish styles have different effects for lower weapon quality, some weapon finishes even have easter eggs built into the scratch pattern for higher floats.Ī weapon float will not degrade over time and can never be changed. The closer it is to 1, the more worn it appears.Ĭertain skins are float capped, where a float outside of the specific range cannot exist. The closer it is to 0, the cleaner the skin is. The rarity of the float is based on a bell curve for most weapons, with low float Factory New items and high float Battle-Scarred items being the rarest. The float simulates a randomized condition on the skin. However, as defined in the item schema, they use the Legendary and Ancient class drop sounds.Ī float is chosen when a weapon skin is dropped, unboxed or received from a trade up contract. Weapons skins come in different quality grades, generally signifying their rarity and value.
