Souvenir MP9 | Old Roots (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

Old Roots dresses the MP9 in a dark olive coat with a dense pattern of light green vines, buds and scrolls. In Minimal Wear the ornament looks practically the same as on a clean copy, with only tiny marks that are hard to find without zooming in. It is a sensible choice for someone who wants a near-pristine look and does not need the cleanest grade.

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.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

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.

Small scuffs may appear on the tip of the muzzle and the sharpest edges of the receiver. The ornament itself stays complete and its contrast is unchanged. At normal viewing distance the skin looks the same as Factory New. The grips, magazine and stock remain clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir MP9 | Old Roots is 0–0.5; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (16% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

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 gold, olive, brown or cream tones blend with the vine ornament. Plant, nature or vintage-style designs suit the theme, and placing them on the receiver side keeps the pattern on the grips and magazine visible.

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.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean look for less.
• Sticker crafters who do not need the top grade.
• A practical balance of look and cost.
