MP9 | Dart (Factory New)

Skin overview

MP9 | Dart is a Mil-Spec Grade finish that lays thin light grey stripes in a chevron pattern over a dark gunmetal body. In Factory New the chevrons stay crisp and evenly spaced along the upper receiver, so the arrow-like rhythm reads clearly from any angle. It is a restrained, almost technical look that suits players who prefer muted colours.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The whole MP9 is finished in a dark gunmetal grey, from the receiver and short barrel shroud to the grip, foregrip, magazine and folding stock. The pattern sits mainly on the upper receiver and its sides: thin light grey stripes arranged in nested chevrons that point toward the muzzle. The grip, foregrip and magazine stay plain dark grey, which keeps the focus on the arrow lines along the top. On worn copies the stripes fade first on the top edge of the receiver, around the muzzle and on the sharp corners of the body, followed by the front of the grips and the base of the magazine.

The chevron stripes are complete and sharp along the whole receiver. The dark base is even, with no lighter scuffs on edges or corners. In game the pattern reads as clean parallel arrows on the top of the weapon. Grips, magazine and stock look untouched.

Which stickers suit it

Monochrome, silver or holo stickers match the grey chevrons, while a single red or orange accent stands out well against the dark body. Placing stickers on the side of the receiver along the direction of the arrows keeps the composition tidy.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade keep noticeably more of the stripes.
• Look at the top edge of the receiver and the area around the muzzle, where the chevrons fade first.
• Pattern placement changes little on this finish, so condition matters more than the pattern seed.
• Check applied stickers and name tags, as they can change how the muted grey design reads.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the chevron pattern complete and sharp.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean dark base for their placements.
• The choice for those who want Dart at its best.
