Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the Negev | Nuclear Waste is an excellent budget-friendly choice. Priced affordably, it offers the Nuclear Waste 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.

Float values in CS2 determine a skin's wear level on a scale from 0.00 (perfect) to 1.00 (maximum wear). With a float range of 0.00 to 0.40, this skin has specific wear availability that affects pricing. 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.

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.
