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 USP-S | Printstream’s range of 0.00–0.85. 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 | 0.0412 |
| Minimal Wear | 0.1100 | 0.1294 |
| Field-Tested | 0.2650 | 0.3118 |
| Well-Worn | 0.4150 | 0.4882 |
| Battle-Scarred | 0.6500 | 0.7647 |
“Not reachable” means USP-S | Printstream’s own float range never enters that exterior band — no combination of inputs can produce it.
What USP-S | Printstream 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.
