Probably one of the first things that a CS2 player gets concerned about before they buy their first weapon skin is whether it will degrade or get worn out over time or as they use it. But is there any truth to that? Here’s a complete explanation of exactly that question.

CS2 Weapon Skin Condition Explained
In short, NO, CS2 skins do not degrade over time. But if you thought otherwise, then you’re not alone. Many CS2 players get confused about this because how skins work in CS2 adds to the confusion. Skins in CS2 don’t come in scratchless conditions like they do in other games. Two of the same skins can be very different in appearance. One of them might have a lot of scratches, and the other might be in pristine condition.
That happens because each skin in CS2 has some level of wear. The amount of wear on a CS2 skin is determined by a number assigned to each skin when it is unboxed from a case called the Float Value. A lower Float Value represents lower scratches and better quality, while a higher Float Value represents more scratches and a worse appearance of the skin.
Because of this, many gamers start to believe that weapon skins accumulate scratches and other types of wear as they play with that skin more often. But that’s not how skins in CS2 work. No matter what you do, the Float Value of a CS2 skin does not change. In other words, no matter how many matches you use a CS2 skin in, the CS2 skin will not degrade over time.

Conclusion
Most CS2 players get confused and start thinking that CS2 skins degrade over time. That’s because each skin in CS2 has a wear condition attached to it. However, that’s not how CS2 skins work. Skins are assigned a wear condition as they get unboxed, which does not change no matter how many hours you play with them.
