Have you ever wondered why Fade skins in CS2 are so popular? Perhaps you’re considering beginning your collection, but you’re not sure how to get started. Regardless of skin type, this series of skins has a certain look. The Fade skin looks great on gloves, knives, and other weapons.
What is the Fade Pattern?
All of these skins are fascinating, but some are more desired and, as a result, more expensive. The Fade covering area of the blade is what sets them apart. In general, the more purple the blade’s skin, the higher the price. A pattern determines the rarity of a Fade skin. In addition to being visually discernible, these patterns can also be quantitatively expressed.
What is Fade Percentage?
Each Fade skin ranges from 1% to 100%, with the higher percentage being the ideal number. For example, a knife with a 100% Fade pattern is called a Full-Fade knife and is much more expensive than the others. The blade of a full-fade knife has a discernible amount of purple. Furthermore, some CS2 knives could fade more than 100%.
Float Value of Fade Skins
Another factor that affects the total cost and rarity of CS2 skins is float value. Since fade knives only have values between 0 and 0.08, they have two exteriors.
- Factory New—the best-looking CS2 knives.
- Minimal Wear—some small scratches may be visible.
It is particularly necessary to remember that the Float Value numbers may not mean anything on their own in some rare situations, namely when it comes to knives.
What is a Full Fade?
A Full Fade CS2 knife’s blade has no gray areas; the whole color gradient is covered. These skins are the most prized.
There are fake Full Fade skins available, however they also cost quite a lot of money. The gray area of these blades is invisible, and their fading rate may be as high as 99%.
Furthermore, certain CS2 knives could have a fade greater than 100%. For example, the pattern texture on the Falchion Knife | Fade may be 110%, which indicates that only a small area of the handle is covered. Regardless of the handle, this will be a Full Fade; it is important to have full coverage of the blade in this case.
Pattern Indexes of all Full Fade Knives
Fade skins come in a wide variety, as you will see, and it might be challenging to figure out which pattern combinations work best for each one. For this reason, a CS2 fade checker is a very helpful tool.
