Counter-Strike 2 Player Spends $45,000 on Regular Skin: The Reasons Behind the Price Tag

Recently, a Counter-Strike 2 skin made headlines after selling for an impressive $45,000, marking it as the skin with the lowest float value in the game’s history. The world of Counter-Strike 2 has a dynamic skin market, where prices can skyrocket. For instance, earlier in January 2024, a distinct AK-47 Case Hardened skin fetched over $1 million. The Case Hardened line is particularly sought after due to its vibrant multicolored patterns, with the coveted Blue Gem pattern holding exceptional value.

Another iconic skin, the AWP Dragon Lore, is also known for its high prices, often exceeding $250,000 for those in pristine condition. Twitter user Yikspiks shared that the MAC-10 Bronzer skin was recently sold for $45,000. Despite not being one of the rarest skins available, its uniqueness lies in its float value of 0.00000000010431, which is the lowest recorded in the history of Valve’s shooter series. Float value plays a crucial role in determining the price and visuals of a skin; lower float values result in better quality colors and textures, while higher values indicate more wear and tear.

However, it’s important to note that a skin’s level of wear does not affect gameplay but merely alters its aesthetic appeal. The MAC-10 Bronzer skin was introduced on March 31, 2025, during the Spring Forward update as part of the Radiant Collection. While it boasts a simple bronze hue and a Consumer rarity—which typically lowers its value to just a few cents—it isn’t the most visually striking skin in the collection. In contrast, the Nouveau Rouge skin for the AK-47 stands out with its elegant red, white, and brown design and a Classified rarity, potentially costing around $600.
