StatTrak™ SSG 08 | Blood in the Water (Factory New)

The SSG 08 | Blood in the Water commands premium prices due to several factors: It belongs to The Arms Deal 2 Collection and can be unboxed from the CS:GO Weapon Case 2. The Blood in the Water finish is particularly sought-after for its distinctive appearance, and supply is inherently limited while demand remains high from collectors and players.

Factory New covers float values from 0.00 to 0.07 on the CS2 wear scale. This skin's own floats run 0.06-0.20, so its Factory New copies sit between 0.06 and 0.07. Within that band a lower float looks cleaner in game and usually sells for more, so two Factory New copies of the same skin can be priced well apart. Every listing's float is shown in the marketplace table above.

Right now the Factory New is quoted at about $618.99 and the Minimal Wear at about $237.21, so the Factory New costs 161% 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.
