Souvenir MP9 | Ruby Poison Dart (Factory New)

Skin overview

MP9 | Ruby Poison Dart covers the SMG in rounded red-orange blotches outlined in black, with magenta and purple filling the gaps. The pattern recalls the warning colours of a poison dart frog. In Factory New the metallic paint is unbroken, so the red and purple keep their full depth and the black outlines stay crisp.

Item type: smg. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver and handguard are covered in irregular red-orange spots, each ringed in black, with magenta and purple metallic paint between them. The same pattern continues onto the ribbed foregrip, where purple dominates, and onto the pistol grip, which mixes orange spots with magenta.

The anodized paint is intact on every part of the weapon. Red, orange and purple keep their metallic sheen, and the black outlines are sharp. In game the MP9 reads as a bright, clean block of warm and cool colour. Grip ribs and receiver edges are as clean as the flat surfaces.

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 red, magenta, purple or black match the frog-spot artwork, and holographic or foil stickers echo the metallic paint. Placements on the plain grey stock and magazine area stand out, while stickers on the receiver are best kept dark so they do not clash with the busy pattern.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low value inside Field-Tested or Well-Worn noticeably reduces scuffing on the edges.
• Inspect the top edge of the receiver and the grip ribs, as these parts lose paint first.
• Look at the pattern placement on the receiver, because the spot layout differs between copies and some show more red on the visible side.
• Check for applied stickers and a name tag, which can change how the copy looks.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the full metallic depth of the red and purple paint.
• Sticker crafters who need a flawless base for a colour-matched craft.
• Conclusion: the grade for those who want the skin exactly as designed.
