About the AK-47 | Redline
The AK-47 | Redline is one of the most recognisable rifles in CS2 — a clean red-on-black design that has stayed popular since 2014. Because it sits at the Classified tier and trades at an affordable price, it is a staple both as a trade-up output and as a familiar reference point for traders learning how contract value works.
Trade-up strategy
As a trade-up target, the Redline is attractive because demand is deep at every wear, so outputs stay liquid and easy to sell. If you are aiming for it, watch the Field-Tested and Minimal Wear price gap — that spread is usually where the realistic profit lives.

Trade-Up Relevance
This skin can be used as <strong>input</strong> in Classified → Covert trade-up contracts from the The Phoenix Collection. Why it matters: In CS2 trade-ups, this skin's float range dictates the average float target required. If used as an input, its collection determines output odds. If targeted as an output, its profitability depends on the input cost and current market price.

Input Skins (Restricted)
Why Float, Rarity and Collection Matter for Trade-Ups
In CS2 trade-up contracts, the output skin's wear is determined by a mathematical formula using each input skin's float value and float range. Lower input floats produce better output conditions, which often means significantly higher output prices.
The collection determines which skins can appear as output, and the rarity determines the tier. Understanding these mechanics is the key to finding profitable contracts.
Float Value Details
Trade-Up Float Formula
adjusted_float = (input_float - 0.10) / (0.70 - 0.10)
When AK-47 | Redline is used as a trade-up input, its float value is first normalized to the skin's specific float range (0.10 – 0.70). The adjusted float contributes to the average that determines output float.
Output Float Prediction
With 10× AK-47 | Redline inputs at the same float, the output float for Covert skins in the The Phoenix Collection would be:
output_float = out_min + avg_adjusted_float × (out_max - out_min)
