MP9 | Arctic Tri-Tone (Factory New)

The MP9 | Arctic Tri-Tone in Factory New (FN) is the cleanest version of this skin. It has a milk-white base, a black and gray camouflage band and not a single scuff on the paint. It is Restricted rank, from the Sport & Field Collection, made for the Counter-Terrorist side. No case contains it. Its float band is short, from 0.00 to 0.07.

What the MP9 | Arctic Tri-Tone looks like in Factory New

The base is a milky white, and it carries the whole skin. The camouflage runs as one band down the center of the receiver: ragged horizontal smears of black and dark gray. The top of the receiver, the stock, the grip and the handguard stay clean white with no pattern.

There are two main colors and one accent. The magazine is dark blue with gray, while the safety, trigger and small buttons are picked out in bright orange. Against the white those dots stand out at once. Valve describes the skin as white and blue blocks with camouflage in matching tones.

In Factory New the coating is intact: the paint is even and there are no scuffs. Wear is fixed at the drop, so a copy from this band stays exactly as it dropped.

Where the MP9 | Arctic Tri-Tone came from

The skin belongs to the Sport & Field Collection, added to the game in October 2024. The MP9 | Arctic Tri-Tone was part of it from day one.

What to check before buying

A few things are worth checking on any MP9 | Arctic Tri-Tone listing:

• float: the band in this wear is 0.00 to 0.07, and copies barely differ from one another;


• stickers and name tag: on the MP9 | Arctic Tri-Tone they go with the listing;


• the cleanliness of the white panels: any mark shows on them, so look the item over as a whole.

The artwork is the same on every copy, so there is no special one to hunt for.

What the MP9 | Arctic Tri-Tone costs in Factory New

Factory New is the most expensive wear of the skin. It costs about 1.5 times as much as Minimal Wear, twice as much as Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred, and a little over twice as much as Field-Tested.

Among Restricted MP9 skins priced in this wear, this one sits in the lower third. Only MP9 | Goo and MP9 | Urban Sovereign cost less, and MP9 | Ruby Poison Dart is level with it. MP9 | Rose Iron and MP9 | Mount Fuji cost more. The top of the row belongs to MP9 | Stained Glass and MP9 | Bulldozer, ten times as much or beyond.

Stickers and craft on the MP9 | Arctic Tri-Tone

The white body is a handy background for stickers: dark and bright ones read clearly on it. The camouflage band in the middle of the receiver is already busy, so stickers sit better on the clean white areas of the stock and handguard. The orange details pull the eye, and a red or yellow sticker beside them gets lost.

Who this wear suits

Buying the MP9 | Arctic Tri-Tone in Factory New makes sense in these cases:

• you want a white SMG without a single scuff for a CS2 loadout;


• a clean background for stickers matters, and you want certainty that the paint is intact;


• the difference between wears matters to you, while float inside a narrow band does not.

If clean paint is not a priority, the lower wears cost noticeably less with the same artwork.
