Frequently Asked Questions

Factory New (FN) FAMAS | Faulty Wiring 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. The price gap between FN and MW varies by finish — some designs like the Faulty Wiring pattern hide wear better than others, making MW versions a strong value alternative.

Yes, the FAMAS | Faulty Wiring is an excellent budget-friendly choice. Priced affordably, it offers the Faulty Wiring aesthetic without breaking the bank. Budget skins like this are ideal for players building their first inventory or those who prefer spending on multiple skins rather than one expensive item. The lower price point also means less financial risk if you decide to trade or sell later.

Battle-Scarred covers float values from 0.44 to 1.00 on the CS2 wear scale. This skin's own floats run 0.00-0.50, so its Battle-Scarred copies sit between 0.44 and 0.50. Within that band a lower float looks cleaner in game and usually sells for more, so two Battle-Scarred copies of the same skin can be priced well apart. Every listing's float is shown in the marketplace table above.

Right now the Battle-Scarred is quoted at about $2.57 and the Well-Worn at about $1.53, so the Battle-Scarred costs 68% more. How much of that gap is worth paying depends on the finish: wear shows first on edges and raised areas, so on some designs the cleaner wear is hard to tell apart in game. Switch wears above to compare the two side by side.

The in-game description reads: "A pattern of a wiring diagram has been applied. Please consult an electrician before conducting your own repairs." The Faulty Wiring finish on the FAMAS is a distinctive design that has made this skin a recognizable part of CS2's visual identity.

Based on our real-time price comparison across 40+ marketplaces, CSFloat currently has the lowest price for the FAMAS | Faulty Wiring (Battle-Scarred) at $1.26. However, prices change frequently as sellers list and buyers purchase. We recommend checking the marketplace comparison table above for the most current prices, and remember to factor in each marketplace's fees when comparing total costs.

The FAMAS deals 30 base damage per bullet. Per shot at point blank that is 120 to the head, 30 to the chest or arms, 37 to the stomach and 22 to the legs, before armor. Damage falls off to ×0.96 every 500 units.

Only without a helmet. A headshot does 120 to a bare head but 84 through a helmet, so a helmeted player needs 2 shots.
