Yo, I’m a new csgo player and I noticed yesterday that skins have different tags, like factory new, field tested, etc. Does that mean csgo skins deteriorate the more you use them?
Hey there! Welcome to the world of CS:GO! You’re right; the different tags like “Factory New,” “Field-Tested,” and others refer to the condition of the skins, which can indeed affect their appearance and value.
In CS:GO, skins don’t actually deteriorate or lose quality over time in the game. Instead, the condition is determined at the moment you acquire the skin. Each skin has a wear value ranging from 0 (Factory New) to 1 (Battle-Scarred), which reflects how “used” it appears. This wear value doesn’t change with gameplay; it’s just how the skin was initially generated.
So, no need to worry about your skins losing their shine as you play! Enjoy your gaming sessions, and remember that by playing, you’re also earning Buff Points that you can redeem for great rewards. Keep having fun!
