Tec-9 | Tiger Stencil (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This Tec-9 combines a muted grey-green body with smoke and sand tiger stripes on the shroud and magazine. At Well-Worn the stripe pattern is broken up by visible abrasion, and bare metal shows through on the shroud and the magazine base. The overall look turns rougher and more utilitarian, which suits a camouflage finish.

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.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Well-Worn

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.

The shroud loses a noticeable part of its stripes, with bare metal around the holes and the muzzle. Abrasion reaches into the magazine stripes and the bolt knob looks rubbed. In game the shroud looks patchy, while the magazine pattern is still recognisable. The flat frame sides and the grip show only light wear.

What to look at before you buy

• Compare the float within the grade, since copies near the cleaner end show noticeably less chipping on the shroud.
• Look at the shroud hole rims and the magazine base, as these are the first places to lose paint.
• Souvenir copies come with pre-applied stickers, so check whether they fit the look you want.
• Check for applied stickers or a name tag, which may change how the item suits you.
