Souvenir MP9 | Hydra (Factory New)

Skin overview

MP9 | Hydra is a Classified SMG finish built on bright acid green, wrapped in dark serpentine coils that run along the receiver. The grip carries a scaled, reptile-like texture and the magazine continues the green with dark streaks. In Factory New the green stays saturated and the black coils keep sharp, clean outlines.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

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. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver is painted bright acid green with dark streaks, and thick black serpentine coils wrap over its top and sides toward the muzzle. The pistol grip shows a green scaled texture fading into dark grey, while the front grip is mostly dark with green patches.

The paint is complete on every part of the weapon. The acid green is at full saturation and the black coils have crisp edges. The scaled grip texture and magazine streaks are fully visible. In game it looks bright and uniform from any angle.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir MP9 | Hydra is 0–1; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (7% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

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.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in green, black or dark holo tones blend with the acid green and the black coils. Placements on the side of the receiver work best when they do not cover the coils, while a single bright accent can contrast well against the green.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear range, since the edges and magazine show the difference first.
• Look at the magazine and the top of the receiver on the inspect screen, where the green wears off earliest.
• On worn grades compare several copies, as the amount of remaining green varies widely.
• Check applied stickers and name tag, and whether they match the green-and-black scheme.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the green and black coils at full saturation.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for a finished look.
• The choice for those who want the skin exactly as designed.
