Deciphering popular designations on Steam Inventory Helper

Steam Inventory Helper reveals its functionality to the fullest extent when buying skins and knives. There are a large number of criteria that should be taken into account in order to choose the right and most profitable, as well as rare skin from those presented on the Steam marketplace. We will tell you about each of them:

Float – the level of wear of the skin. It is measured by values ​​from 0 to 1. A skin with float 0 is the ideal quality of the paint job, but this does not mean that all paint jobs with the wear grade “Factory New”. 1, on the contrary, is the worst condition of the skin, typical of some lots with the wear grade “Battle-Scarred”. It becomes obvious that when buying a new skin, it is important to check the float first of all, because even a weapon “Factory New” does not guarantee the best quality of the applied drawing. We will also share with you a table of possible floats depending on the wear grade of the skin:

• 0-0.07 — Factory New;
• 0.07-0.15 — Minor Wear;
• 0.15-0.38 — Field-Tested;
• 0.38-0.45 — Well-Worn;
• 0.45-1 — Battle-Scarred.

Pattern is a value that absolutely all skins in the game also have, but it does not matter for all of them. The pattern itself is a variant of applying the skin to the weapon. It can be from 1 to 999. Most skins do not change in any way depending on the pattern, but on some it is of great importance. This is most noticeable on knives and skins with the coloring “Gradient”, “Case Hardened”, etc. This is extremely important when buying knives, since, for example, a completely blue AK-47 | Case Hardened is valued at a huge amount of money, when the regular version of this skin is not valued so highly. A similar situation is observed with knives, the price of a rare pattern is several times higher.
