The best Tec-9 skins in CS2 range from a dollar to well over a hundred: the priciest in this list are the Nuclear Threat and Decimator, while the Fuel Injector, Red Quartz and Brother cost far less. Below are five skins with their design and approximate prices on LIS-SKINS.
The Tec-9 is a semi-automatic pistol available only to Terrorists. Its main drawback is high spread, but strong damage and a fast fire rate make up for it, so many players pick it on pistol rounds and eco rounds. There are now close to fifty Tec-9 skins, so there is plenty to choose from. If you are setting up for the first round, also see our selection of skins for starting pistols in CS2.
Tec-9 | Nuclear Threat
Tec-9 | Nuclear Threat is one of the most expensive skins for this gun. Its most striking detail is the bright green radiation hazard sign on a dark green background. Additionally, the magazine is covered in diagonal black and green stripes. The rest of the weapon's surface is painted in less bright colors, mostly gray and dark green. It drops only from Nuke Collection souvenir packages, so supply is thin: Battle-Scarred costs about $35, Field-Tested about $50 and Minimal Wear around $130.
Tec-9 | Decimator
Fans of neon colors should look at the Tec-9 | Decimator. From the Shattered Web Case, this skin features a vibrant, futuristic design. The magazine and grip are covered with a geometric pattern in the form of a grid of bright pink and bright blue lines, which create an optical illusion, slightly distorting the outline of the weapon. The barrel and upper part of the body are also painted in a gradient between these two colors. Worn copies cost about $15, Factory New around $100 and StatTrak Factory New about $190.
Tec-9 | Fuel Injector
A memorable Tec-9 skin does not have to cost much, though. An example of this is the Tec-9 | Fuel Injector from the Gamma 2 Case, in which the body of the weapon is decorated with orange inserts. Its creators paid great attention to detail, adding lettering, overlays, and engraving the magazine. There is also an AK-47 | Fuel Injector in the same style. Most wears cost about $10, Factory New around $40.
Tec-9 | Red Quartz
Another popular pick is the Tec-9 | Red Quartz. Most of the surface is left dark gray, but its upper part is decorated with an insert with a shiny red and black pattern. It is one of the oldest Tec-9 skins, added back in 2013, and it still draws interest. It is also one of the cheapest here: even Factory New costs under a dollar.
Tec-9 | Brother
If you prefer a more realistic look, consider the Tec-9 | Brother from the Fracture Case. The grip of the semi-automatic pistol is decorated with an overlay and a small insert with an emblem, the body is covered with dynamic camouflage stripes, and two red stripes on the magazine complete the picture. It is cheap: worn copies cost under a dollar and Factory New about $2.
Each of these skins is available on LIS-SKINS in several wears. For more sidearm options, see the best pistol skins, compare the guns themselves in the best pistols in CS2, and for the CT side try our Five-SeveN skins.
