Souvenir MP9 | Green Plaid (Factory New)

Skin overview

MP9 | Green Plaid is a hydrographic finish that covers the SMG in a taupe base with a blue-green plaid of wide diagonal bands and thin crossing lines. In Factory New the plaid lines stay sharp and the taupe has no grey patches, so the tartan structure is easy to read even on the small grips. This is the grade for buyers who want the pattern exactly as designed.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver, barrel shroud and both grips are covered in a taupe base with a plaid of wide blue-green diagonal bands crossed by thin dark lines. The pattern runs at an angle across the body, so the diamond shapes shift from the top rail down to the trigger guard.

The hydrographic print is intact on every part, with crisp plaid lines and an even taupe base. The muzzle, rail and grip ribs show no scuffs. In game the gun looks clean and the tartan structure is visible on the receiver and grips. The plain magazine and stock look uniform.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

Muted greens, teals, tan and dark brown stickers blend with the plaid and keep the subdued look. Placements on the side of the receiver above the grip sit on the patterned area and read well; a single cream or dark green sticker works better than bright multicoloured ones.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in a grade shows noticeably less grey on the muzzle and rail.
• Look at the top rail, muzzle and grip ribs on the inspect view, as these parts lose paint first.
• Souvenir copies exist and come with stickers already applied, so check whether they suit the plaid before buying.
• Check stickers and name tag on any copy, since they change the look more than the pattern offset does.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the plaid with crisp lines and no grey marks.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base on the receiver.
• Conclusion: the grade for the pattern in its intended form.
