Tec-9 | Perimeter (Factory New)

Skin overview

Tec-9 | Perimeter is an Industrial Grade pistol finish with a dense grid of small Xs, squares and dots on a dark grey base, with scattered orange and red accents. In Factory New the tiny marks stay sharp and separate, so the pattern reads as a fine technical texture. A thin line drawing on the lower receiver is fully crisp at this grade.

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.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver, frame and grip are covered in a fine grid of small grey Xs, squares and dots, with orange and red marks scattered across it. A thin technical line drawing sits on the lower receiver above the trigger guard. The perforated barrel shroud and the barrel stay dark grey and black, and the magazine is a plain dark finish with lighter grey stripes. On worn copies the paint goes first from the receiver edges, the top of the frame, the front of the shroud and the grip corners, while recessed areas hold the pattern longest.

The grid is complete on the receiver, frame and grip, and the line drawing is sharp. Edges and the shroud show no visible wear. In game the fine pattern reads as an even grey texture with small warm accents. Everything looks clean.

Stickers and crafts

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since the edges of the receiver and frame show the difference first.
• Look at the line drawing on the lower receiver, as it is one of the first details to lose clarity.
• On Souvenir copies, check which pre-applied stickers are on the gun and how they sit on the receiver.
• Look for applied stickers or a name tag that may change how the item fits your loadout.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the grid and line drawing fully intact.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for warm-toned stickers.
• The choice for a complete, sharp version of the pattern.
