In its most general form, skin is the appearance of the main character or some virtual object. CS GO knife, like other items in the game, can be very expensive. There are many games where skins are available for free. You just need to use mods that replace certain files. In online games, developers usually do not allow this. Therefore, items must be bought or obtained from loot boxes that appear after battles.
Selling skins
It is important to understand that skin trading is a pretty serious business nowadays. To make a profit, you need to know exactly who lives in the gaming community, what is popular, and whether the skin will increase in price. The demand and cost of some CS GO knives can increase up to ten times. You can also trade with other players. Not everyone understands the true value of the item, and a knowledgeable gamer will always be able to make a good deal for himself.
Skins cost
The game Counter-Strike was no exception. One of the most important aspects of its popularity is the marketplace for selling in-game skins. Each product has its own story.
For example, the most famous Dragon Lore skin even has a painting dedicated to it. It is shown inside one of the castles on the Cobblestone map.
However, another aspect that affects the cost is its rarity and floating cost. The latter implies a value between 0.00x and 1.00, which describes how unkempt the element is, with 1.00 being the most shabby.
Depending on the value, there are several degrees of floating value:
- 0.00 – 0.07 – straight from the factory;
- 0.07 – 0.15 – Slightly worn;
- 0.15 – 0.38 – After combat trials;
- 0.38 – 0.45 – Wear;
- 0.45 – 1.00 – Combat hardened.
