Souvenir Tec-9 | Citric Acid (Factory New)

Skin overview

Tec-9 | Citric Acid is an Industrial Grade pistol finish with a bright yellow body, lime green accents and a thin dark splatter laid over the paint. In Factory New the yellow is even and saturated, and the dark specks stay sharp against it. This is the grade where the acidic contrast of the colours is at its cleanest.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver and the upper body are painted bright yellow and covered with a thin dark splatter of lines and specks. The perforated barrel shroud combines yellow and dark tones, while the muzzle, the charging handle, the trigger and small details are lime green.

The paint is intact across the receiver, the shroud and the magazine. The yellow is uniform and the dark splatter keeps crisp outlines. In game the pistol looks bright and clean from every angle. No metal shows on edges or on the muzzle.

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

Black, dark green and yellow stickers follow the finish palette and suit the flat side of the receiver. Lime or neon green accents echo the muzzle and the charging handle, while red or blue stickers will stand out sharply against the yellow.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float within the chosen wear, since lower values keep the receiver edges and the muzzle cleaner.
• Look at the shroud openings and the magazine corners, where paint loss shows first.
• Check applied stickers and a name tag, as they change how the yellow body reads.
• Compare a souvenir copy with a regular one if the souvenir stickers matter to you.

Who should buy Factory New

• Players who want the brightest and cleanest yellow on their Tec-9.
• Sticker crafters who need an undamaged base for colour matching.
• The best choice when the clean look matters more than saving.
