MP9 | Old Roots (Factory New)

Skin overview

MP9 | Old Roots is an Industrial Grade spray-paint finish that covers the SMG in an ornament of vines and flowers in several shades of green. In Factory New the pale yellow-green lines stay sharp against the dark olive base, so the curls and leaves read clearly. This is the version for buyers who want the full ornament with no gaps in the paint.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver, front grip, pistol grip, magazine and folding stock are covered in dark olive paint with a repeating ornament of light yellow-green vines, scrolls, leaves and small flowers. The pattern is dense and runs over almost every surface, including the top rail and the side panels of the receiver. The muzzle and the stock rods stay dark, which frames the ornamented parts. On worn copies the paint goes first from the muzzle, the top rail, the edges of the receiver, the ridges of the grips and the base of the magazine, exposing the darker material beneath.

The paint is intact on every part of the weapon. The light green lines of the ornament have crisp edges and good contrast with the olive base. In game the pattern reads as a clean, even ornament over the whole SMG. The top rail, grips and magazine look untouched.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show fewer chips on the muzzle and top rail.
• Look at the grips and magazine base on inspect, as these lose paint first on worn copies.
• Battle-Scarred copies of this skin all sit close to the grade boundary, so compare them with Well-Worn before paying for the difference.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, as they change the look of a dense ornament.

• Players building sticker crafts on a clean, even base.
