Souvenir MP9 | Pine (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

MP9 | Pine in Battle-Scarred keeps the green coat only in the flatter areas, while edges and high points are worn down to the dark base. The result is a rough two-tone look, green over dark grey, that some prefer to the clean version. It is the cheapest way to get this finish.

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.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver, top rail, trigger guard, front vertical grip and pistol grip are all painted the same solid olive-pine green with a soft satin sheen. The folding stock is in a slightly darker green, while the magazine, muzzle and small controls stay dark grey and black.

Most edges, ribs and the rail are worn down to the dark base, and the grips show heavy loss of paint. The stock and receiver sides are broken into green patches. In game the gun reads as a mix of green and dark grey. Green remains mainly in recessed and flat areas.

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

The plain green works well with olive, khaki, brown and black stickers for a military look, or with a single gold or white sticker as a contrast accent. Placements on the flat receiver side stand out best because there is no pattern competing with them.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since on a solid colour the amount of chipping is the only visible difference.
• Look at the rail teeth, receiver edges and grip ribs in the inspect view, as these lose paint first.
• The finish has no pattern, so there is no reason to pay extra for a particular seed.
• Check for applied stickers or a name tag, which change the look of such a plain skin noticeably.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Players who like a rough green and dark grey two-tone look.
• Anyone looking for the cheapest entry into this finish.
• Conclusion: a budget skin with a distinctly battered character.
