If you are here it’s because you want to learn how to check fade percentage CSGO, and this is exactly what this guide will teach you.
We’re going to share with you the three ways by which you can find the fade percentage of any CS:GO skin, be it a knife, rifle, gun, etc.
Without anything more to add, let’s see how you can find the fade percentage of any skin in the game.
Using a Calculator to Find the Fade Percentage of Any CS Skin
To make it easy for you to calculate the fade percentage of any CS skin, we have created a small program hosted at Github, using the code from “chescos”, resulting in the following 100% free tool: https://cs2specialist.github.io/fade-calculator/
Just click on it and you’ll access it, bringing you the chance to find the fade percentage of any skin, and here’s how you can use the tool:
- Select the weapon from the dropdown menu
- Enter the seed/pattern of the skin
- It will display automatically the fade percentage of the skin at the bottom, along with its corresponding rank
Alternatively, you can just select a weapon and play around with the slider, so you can find out which seeds/patterns have the fade percentage you’ve just selected.
We have placed this method at the top because it’s our #1 recommendation, as it’s free, available for all devices, you don’t have to create an account and it’s 100% accurate, as it’s been proven and tested by hundreds of players, traders and collectors.
Furthermore, when compared to other tools, this one is the most precise when it comes to associating paint seeds to their corresponding fade values. Unlike other resources, such as the BUFF Market, which mainly rely on image analysis, and as a result, it’s not accurate.
Furthermore, you can also use it on mobile. While it’s not designed to be 100% mobile friendly, you can use it on any Android and iOS device without major complications. Making this the ultimate solution for calculating the fade percentage of any skin.
In fact, the same data used by this free tool is the same used by the most popular and reputable CS:GO trading sites such as Skinport.com, SkinsMonkey, DMarket, BitSkins and GamerPay. Therefore, it’s accurate to say you can rely on our tool to find the fade percentage of any skin.
If you’d like to explore alternative ways of finding the fade percentage of skins in CS:GO (CS2), let’s see how you can accomplish it via a browser extension.
Using a Browser Extension to Calculate the Fade Percentage
If you don’t feel like using a third-party application, hence having to open it and enter the data manually to calculate the fade percentage, we understand you. If you want something automatic, then you should consider using a browser extension such as the CSGO Trader Extension.
This extension is 100% free and safe to use, available on Firefox, Chrome and Edge. All you need to do is to visit http://csgotrader.app, go to the “Install” section, click on the icon of your browser and just install it.
Once it’s installed, it will bring you exclusive insights about any skin you want, and effectively, it will let you know the exact fade percentage of a CS:GO weapon.
Just go to the Steam inventory, and you’ll get all the stats you need, and additionally, you can use it to inspect skins, in case you want to double-check the fade percentage.
All in all, this is a handy alternative to our recommended fade percentage checker, as it’s automatic and 100% free.
The downside of using the CSGO Trader Extension is it isn’t available on mobile, and while you can use our recommended web app on iOS and Android, the mobile experience is not the best. Therefore, if you want to check fade percentages on the go, we recommend you to use the BUFF app – the next section will bring you all the details about it.
Use the BUFF Market App
BUFF Market, one of the most popular CS2 trading sites with over 270,000 monthly visitors, has its own mobile app, which you can use to inspect skins on the go and find their respective fade percentage.
If you want to download it, all you need to do is to visit https://buff.market/app, click on Android or iOS, install it and that’s it – just open it and you can inspect skins to get their corresponding fade value.
However, as we mentioned earlier, while this solution is fairly convenient, the downside is that it relies on image analysis, and as a result, it’s not 100% accurate. Therefore, we only recommend using it for checking the fade percentage of skins for fun, because since it’s not accurate, you should not rely on it for trading purposes.
All in all, since our #1 recommended fade checker is also available on mobile, we recommend you to double-check all the percentages you get from the BUFF Market with that tool, as it will allow you to verify if the information is accurate.
Can You Determine the Fade Percentage Manually?
Yes, it is possible, but it is not accurate at all, and in fact, it’s an overkill, especially if you have tools like our recommended fade checker. However, if you want to try it, we recommend you to only check the 100% fade percentage for certain skins, as it’s the easiest. The following table has all the information you need.
