Souvenir Tec-9 | Hades (Factory New)

Skin overview

Tec-9 | Hades is a hydrographic finish that covers the pistol in a dense repeating print of ancient Greek helmets. Pale cream helmets with dark grey outlines fill the shroud, receiver and grip, while the magazine stays plain and light. In Factory New the outlines are crisp and the cream base looks even, so every helmet face is easy to make out.

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.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear and Field-Tested.

Appearance in Factory New

The whole body of the Tec-9 is covered in a hydrographic print of Greek helmets drawn as cream shapes with dark grey outlines and shading. The pattern runs across the perforated barrel shroud, the receiver, the trigger guard area and the grip, so the helmets appear in different sizes and angles on each part.

The helmet print is intact on every part, with sharp outlines and an even cream base. The shroud edges, rear sight and grip corners show no breaks. The plain magazine looks clean and uniform. At normal distance the pistol reads as a light, finely patterned weapon.

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 cream, gold, bronze or muted grey blend well with the pale helmet print. A single darker or red sticker on the receiver side can work as an accent without fighting the busy pattern.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within its wear range, since copies near the cleaner end keep more print on the shroud and grip edges.
• Look at the muzzle, the shroud holes and the rear sight, as these are the first places where the helmet print breaks.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so check whether their placement suits you.
• Review the inspect screenshots for any stickers or name tag on regular copies.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the helmet print complete and sharp on every part.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean light base for their combinations.
• The pick for anyone who wants Hades in its most finished form.
