To check the fade percentage in CS:GO, you'll need to follow a few simple steps. I'll show you the most reliable methods to determine exactly how much fade your skin has.

The easiest way is to use a trusted third-party website like CSGOFloat or BuffMarket. Here's what you need to do:

  1. Copy your skin's inspect link from your CS:GO inventory
  2. Paste it into one of these websites
  3. Wait for the analysis to complete
  4. Look for the "Fade Percentage" value in the item details

For a more detailed inspection, you can use the Steam browser method:

  1. Open your inventory in Steam
  2. Right-click on your fade skin
  3. Select "Inspect in Game"
  4. Look at the pattern number in the URL
  5. Compare this pattern index with known fade percentage databases

Keep in mind that different fade skins have different percentage ranges. For example, butterfly knife fades typically range from 80% to 100%, while M9 Bayonet fades can go from 80% to 100% as well.

A higher fade percentage generally means:

  • More vibrant colors
  • Better color transition
  • Higher value in the trading community

Pro tip: Always double-check the fade percentage using multiple tools to ensure accuracy. Some websites might show slightly different percentages, but they should be within 1-2% of each other.

Remember that fade percentages directly impact the skin's value - higher percentages typically command premium prices in the market. The most valuable fades are usually 100% or "full fade" patterns.
