Pattern value — AWP | Fade
Paint seed matters on this skinFade percentage — how far the gradient has travelled across the blade, and how much purple reaches the tip. It is a deterministic function of seed and weapon, so it is calculated rather than judged, and every weapon has its own achievable range. 100% is the ceiling; on Glock-18 and AWP the scarce direction is a high-purple "full fade" rather than the raw number.
Typical premium: 100% fade typically adds 30-80% over an average copy of the same wear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Factory New (FN) AWP | Fade skins have float values between 0.00-0.07, showing minimal to no visible wear. Minimal Wear (MW) floats range from 0.07-0.15, with slight scratches or fading. This skin has a restricted float range (0.00-0.08), meaning Battle-Scarred versions don't exist. The price gap between FN and MW varies by finish — some designs like the Fade pattern hide wear better than others, making MW versions a strong value alternative.
The AWP | Fade commands premium prices due to several factors: Its Covert rarity means only about 0.64% of case openings yield this tier. It belongs to The Control Collection. The Fade finish is particularly sought-after for its distinctive appearance, and supply is inherently limited while demand remains high from collectors and players.
Float values in CS2 determine a skin's wear level on a scale from 0.00 (perfect) to 1.00 (maximum wear). This is a restricted float skin that can only drop in Factory New or near-FN condition, making all examples relatively clean. Lower float values within any condition category (e.g., 0.01 vs 0.06 in Factory New) result in cleaner appearances and typically command higher prices. For high-value trades, always verify the exact float value using inspection tools.
Prices for the AWP | Fade vary across marketplaces due to fees, regional pricing, and seller competition. Originally from The Control Collection, this skin is available on third-party marketplaces. The Steam Community Market charges 15% fees, while third-party markets like Skinport, DMarket, and Buff163 offer lower prices with 2-10% fees.
