CS GO: Trade up contract exterior quality not random!!?

[=Chdc= Chris [✈]]

I started doing some trade up contracts for fun, but there is something I find odd about the exteriour quality thing.

It seems that 9 out of 10 times I get field-tested guns in return instead of any other exterior quality. Atleast the exerior quality should be random as stated in this info page by steam:

Arms Deal Collection Contract Guide 

A Guide for Counter-Strike 2

By: Shortbread

Quick guide detailing what the Arms Deal Contract is, how to use it, and what items can currently be exchanged. There also seems to be some confusion about, Stattrak weapons, knives, and the difference between quality...

Or is it?

Am I doing something wrong? Could the exterior quality of the guns I trade in affect the exterior of the new gun?

percentage is higher for lower quality.. percentage gets smaller and smaller the higher quality you go... I am not sure of the exact numbers but an example would be

lowest quality - 45%
low quality - 25%
medium quality - 15%
high quality - 10%
highest quality - 5%

so it would be like taking a 100 sided die, rolling it... seeing how often you get a 1-45 / 46-70 / 71-85 / 86-95 / 96-100

I am just giving an example and remember these numbers are not the actual percentages.

For most weapon skins FT is the most common quality, the arms deal contract takes in the same chance as normal weapon drops only with a smaller weapon pool

I see. Thanks for the help.

Looks like FT is indeed the most common.. something interesting I noticed, is that I always get a specific weapon with minimal wear and not lower or higher. It's only that specific weapon. The rest of the items are 99% FT. I've never seen the other items with lower or higher grade after like 100 trade ups. Also the only weapon that drops in minimal wear looks like its more rare then the other weapons. Weird.

Is there any reason why all 5 of my trade-ups have all resulted in Factory New or is it just me being lucky?

If you get 10 factory new items, you will get a factory new item - although there are countless exceptions. (black laminate, wasteland rebel, etc.) - when instead of getting FN u get minimal wear.

Read about float value. There are many videos on the internet that explains it
