Souvenir Tec-9 | Blue Blast (Factory New)

Skin overview

Tec-9 | Blue Blast is a Consumer Grade pistol finish that covers the weapon in several shades of blue, from deep teal on the shroud to near-black navy on the frame. In Factory New the anodized coating is smooth and even, and the colour transitions read cleanly from muzzle to grip. This is the version for buyers who want the blues exactly as designed.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Anodized: the colour is in the metal coating itself, so wear shows mostly as dulling rather than a rubbed-off pattern.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

The perforated barrel shroud and upper receiver are finished in deep teal with a darker gradient, while the muzzle tip and small pins are picked out in light blue. The lower receiver, trigger area and grip are a dark navy close to black, which frames the brighter upper part.

The anodized coating is intact on every part, including the edges of the shroud holes. Colour gradients on the shroud and receiver are smooth and the light blue accents stay crisp. In game the pistol looks clean and evenly coloured. Nothing on the weapon shows exposed metal.

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

Stickers in blue, teal, white or silver tones blend with the finish, while a single orange or gold sticker gives a clear contrast. The side of the receiver above the grip is a natural spot, since the darker area makes stickers stand out.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the shroud and muzzle show the difference first.
• Inspect the edges of the shroud holes and the bolt handle, which lose colour before other parts.
• Look at any applied stickers and name tag, as they change the look of this plain finish noticeably.
• The skin has no pattern variations, so compare copies by wear only.

Who should buy Factory New

• Players who want a clean, evenly coloured Tec-9 without any marks.
• Sticker crafters who need an unworn base for blue-themed combinations.
• The cleanest way to own this calm blue finish.
