With a float range of 0.00 to 1.00, 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.

This skin can be obtained by opening the Operation Hydra Case or purchased directly from third-party marketplaces.
