Do CS2 Skins Wear Out Over Time?
If you’re looking for a one-word answer, it’s a resounding NO. CS2 skins do not get worn out. But why is there confusion about this in the first place? The thing is, all CS2 skins don’t have a shiny new appearance. You can pick two same CS2 skins, like the AK-47 Neon Rider, and they won’t look the same since one will have scratches, color fade, and other wear marks.
This wear property for every CS2 skin confuses gamers, which isn’t their fault because it is confusing. Because of this, many gamers think 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.
The amount of wear on a CS2 skin is determined by the Float Value, which is a number assigned to every CS2 skin when it is unboxed from a case, and each skin has a unique number. 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, it won’t get worn out.

Expert Take
“I used to think skins wore out the more I played, but I was wrong. The wear level is set when the skin is created and never changes, no matter how many matches you play. The scratches and fade you see are just part of the float value assigned at the start. So feel free to use your Factory New skin all you want- it’ll stay that way forever.” – Pawel ‘Biegan’ Bieganowski
