Souvenir Tec-9 | Citric Acid (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Citric Acid is built on a yellow and green base with a dark splatter pattern, a simple and loud scheme for a close-range pistol. In Field-Tested the yellow begins to lose paint on the edges, and the scuffs blend with the splatter rather than spoil it. The overall colour still reads clearly from the first-person view.

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: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

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.

Paint loss becomes visible on the edges of the receiver, around the shroud openings and on the muzzle. The magazine corners start to show light scuffs. The main yellow panels remain mostly intact, and the dark splatter partly hides the wear. In game the pistol still reads as bright yellow.

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

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 check before buying

• 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 the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who want the bright colour scheme at a moderate budget.
• Those who like light edge wear blending with the splatter.
• A practical everyday pick for the Tec-9.
