Souvenir Tec-9 | Citric Acid (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The finish pairs a lemon-yellow receiver with green details and a scattered dark paint splat, which makes the Tec-9 easy to spot in the hands. Minimal Wear keeps the colour almost untouched, with only tiny marks that are hard to see in game. It gives practically the same look as the cleanest grade with a little less concern about pristine condition.

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, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

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.

Small scratches may appear on the muzzle and the front edge of the shroud. The receiver and the grip panels stay clean, and the splatter is fully readable. At normal distance in game the difference from Factory New is hard to notice. The magazine keeps its even olive colour.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

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 should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want an almost clean look without chasing the top grade.
• Sticker crafts where tiny marks on the muzzle do not matter.
• A sensible balance of appearance and value.
