Tec-9 | Tiger Stencil (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Tiger Stencil is recognisable by its diagonal sand stripes on a smoky base, set against the plain grey-green grip and frame. In Field-Tested the stripes are still clearly visible, while the shroud rings and the magazine edges start to show lighter scuffs. The worn spots fit the field-camouflage character of the pattern rather than spoiling it.

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.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The receiver and grip are finished in a flat grey-green with a few copper-toned details such as the trigger and the bolt knob. Tiger striping in smoke and sand covers the perforated barrel shroud and runs along the top of the receiver, ending at a copper-coloured muzzle.

Scuffs spread along the shroud rings and the muzzle, and the lower edge of the magazine shows chipped paint. The stripes stay readable, though their edges look a little softer in places. In game the pattern still reads as tiger striping without obvious damage. The grip and the flat sides of the frame mostly stay clean.

• Look at the shroud hole rims and the magazine base, as these are the first places to lose paint.

• Check for applied stickers or a name tag, which may change how the item suits you.
