What else this contract can land on
A contract from DreamHack 2013 Souvenir Package / EMS One 2014 Souvenir Package / ESL One Cologne 2014 Mirage Souvenir Package / DreamHack 2014 Mirage Souvenir Package / ESL One Katowice 2015 Mirage Souvenir Package / ESL One Cologne 2015 Mirage Souvenir Package / DreamHack Cluj-Napoca 2015 Mirage Souvenir Package / MLG Columbus 2016 Mirage Souvenir Package / Cologne 2016 Mirage Souvenir Package / Atlanta 2017 Mirage Souvenir Package / Krakow 2017 Mirage Souvenir Package / Boston 2018 Mirage Souvenir Package / London 2018 Mirage Souve draws uniformly from every Industrial Grade Rifle skin in the pool, so SG 553 | Gator Mesh is one of 33 equally likely results. These are the other 32.
Input float for each exterior
CS2 normalises float across a trade-up: each input’s float becomes a 0–1 position inside its own range, those are averaged, and the average is applied to SG 553 | Gator Mesh’s range of 0.00–0.60. To land a given exterior, your ten inputs must average the normalised float below.
| Target exterior | Output float | Required avg. input float |
|---|---|---|
| Factory New | 0.0350 | 0.0583 |
| Minimal Wear | 0.1100 | 0.1833 |
| Field-Tested | 0.2650 | 0.4417 |
| Well-Worn | 0.4150 | 0.6917 |
| Battle-Scarred | 0.5250 | 0.8750 |
“Not reachable” means SG 553 | Gator Mesh’s own float range never enters that exterior band — no combination of inputs can produce it.
What SG 553 | Gator Mesh is worth right now
Worth comparing against the contract cost above before you commit: buying the skin outright is frequently cheaper than rolling for it.
| Exterior | Price | vs. contract cost |
|---|---|---|
| Minimal Wear | $1534.00 | +$1514.00 |
| Factory New | $1546.00 | +$1526.00 |
