Trade-Up Relevance
This skin is a possible <strong>output</strong> from Classified trade-up contracts in the The Spectrum 2 Collection. Since Covert is the highest weapon rarity, it cannot be used as a trade-up input. 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 (Classified)
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 - 0.00) / (1.00 - 0.00)
When AK-47 | The Empress is used as a trade-up input, its float value is first normalized to the skin's specific float range (0.00 – 1.00). The adjusted float contributes to the average that determines output float.
