Souvenir Tec-9 | Titanium Bit (Factory New)

Skin overview

Tec-9 | Titanium Bit is a restricted pistol finish built around an anodized blue barrel shroud with a dark, speckled texture and silver diagonal streaks along the top. The rest of the pistol keeps a plain grey frame, so the colour sits only on the front section. In Factory New the blue is even and saturated, and the silver streaks keep sharp edges.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear and Field-Tested. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Factory New

The finish is concentrated on the barrel shroud and the upper receiver: a deep blue anodized surface with a darker mottled texture around the rows of round vent holes. Across the top of the receiver run silver-white diagonal streaks over the blue, and the charging knob is also tinted blue.

The anodized blue is uniform across the shroud and receiver, with no visible marks around the vent holes. The silver streaks on top keep crisp edges. In game the colour looks bright and saturated. The grey frame and magazine look factory clean.

Factory New quality — float range 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir Tec-9 | Titanium Bit is 0–0.2; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (35% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

The skin’s collection is The Arms Deal 3 Collection with 12 skins in total.

The source is CS:GO Weapon Case 3 (on sale since Sep 20, 2013).

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

Blue, silver and holographic stickers match the anodized shroud and the streaks on the receiver. Black or white stickers placed on the grey frame give a clean contrast without competing with the blue front.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the range, since lower values keep the muzzle and vent hole edges cleaner.
• Inspect the muzzle and the top ridges of the shroud, as these lose colour first.
• Look at applied stickers and the name tag, because they affect how the blue front section reads.
• Decide whether you want a StatTrak™ copy, which exists for this skin.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the most even blue and crisp silver streaks.
• Players building a clean sticker craft around the front section.
• A choice for those who want the finish in its best state.
