A wear-level above Factory New

Toxins 🐑 — Fri, 04 Sep 2015 19:25:56 +0000

TF2Tools has discovered some skins that have no wear whatsoever, and has dubbed them 'Pristine'. As most of you know, the recent Trade Ups introduced a quickly patched glitch where trade-ups were created without a wear attribute. However, these items clearly had wear and upon trading the wear level became listed in Steam (but is still not listed by 3rd party websites). However, a small subset of these items have a wear level that is listed as zero.

For those of you that are not familiar, in TF2 wear is stored as a float value as follows:

0.2 - Factory New
0.4 - Minimal Wear
0.6 - Field-Tested
0.8 - Well Worn
1.0 - Battle Scarred

A quick Google search reveals that even Factory New skins have a few small scratches.

The newly discovered items have a wear level of 0. They have no scratches or wear of any kind. They show up in Steam and Backpack.tf as Factory New, and at the time of writing only TF2Tools.net distinguishes them. I'll see if I can take some screenshots later.

So now we have:

0.0 - Pristine
0.2 - Factory New
0.4 - Minimal Wear
0.6 - Field-Tested
0.8 - Well Worn
1.0 - Battle Scarred

Hope you all had fun. The race to be the top spell collector was intense, but we have a new king of spells. Well done squirrelly. Spells have expired but are still tradable, so put them on an alt till next time!
