Souvenir MP9 | Old Roots (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

MP9 | Old Roots is recognisable by its green floral ornament on a dark olive body, painted from muzzle to stock. In Well-Worn the paint is clearly rubbed off along edges and on the parts the hands touch, and darker material shows through. The skin starts to look like a field weapon that has seen long use.

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.

Appearance in Well-Worn

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 paint is worn through on the muzzle, along the top rail, on the grip ridges and around the base of the magazine. Larger patches of the ornament on the edges are gone, and the dark material shows. In game the scuffs are noticeable on the parts closest to the camera. The central areas of the receiver sides still carry the full pattern.

Well-Worn wear: float 0.38–0.45

The whole float range of Souvenir MP9 | Old Roots is 0–0.5; Well-Worn takes the 0.38–0.45 segment (14% 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 the Well-Worn quality suits

• Players who prefer an aged field-weapon look.
• Budget buyers who still want the ornament on the receiver sides.
• A cheap option with visible character.
