Frequently Asked Questions

Factory New (FN) Negev | Desert-Strike 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 Desert-Strike pattern hide wear better than others, making MW versions a strong value alternative.

Yes, the Negev | Desert-Strike is an excellent budget-friendly choice. Priced affordably, it offers the Desert-Strike 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 $0.39 and the Well-Worn at about $0.37, so the Battle-Scarred costs 5% 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.

Prices for the Negev | Desert-Strike (Battle-Scarred) vary across marketplaces due to fees, regional pricing, and seller competition.

Based on our real-time price comparison across 40+ marketplaces, Skinport currently has the lowest price for the Negev | Desert-Strike (Battle-Scarred) at $0.28.

The Negev deals 35 base damage per bullet. Per shot at point blank that is 140 to the head, 35 to the chest or arms, 43 to the stomach and 26 to the legs, before armor. Damage falls off to ×0.97 every 500 units.

Only without a helmet. A headshot does 140 to a bare head but 99 through a helmet, so a helmeted player needs 2 shots.
