Frequently Asked Questions

The USP-S | Dark Water sits in the mid-to-high price bracket. It features a distinctive Dark Water design that stands out in-game and maintains good trading liquidity. It's part of The Arms Deal Collection, obtainable from the CS:GO Weapon Case, which adds to its collectible appeal. For players who main the USP-S, this skin offers an excellent balance of visual appeal and investment stability compared to budget alternatives.

Field-Tested covers float values from 0.15 to 0.37 on the CS2 wear scale. This skin's own floats run 0.10-0.26, so its Field-Tested copies sit between 0.15 and 0.26. Within that band a lower float looks cleaner in game and usually sells for more, so two Field-Tested copies of the same skin can be priced well apart. Every listing's float is shown in the marketplace table above.

Right now the Field-Tested is quoted at about $110.32 and the Minimal Wear at about $120.37, so the Minimal Wear costs 9% 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 USP-S 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 ×0.91 every 500 units.

Only without a helmet. A headshot does 140 to a bare head but 70 through a helmet, so a helmeted player needs 2 shots.
