MP9 | Wild Lily (Field-Tested)

Field-Tested (FT) is the middle of the scale for the MP9 | Wild Lily, where the large flower on the receiver still reads clearly. The float runs from 0.15 to 0.38, which is 33% of the skin's range, ending at 0.70. Its rank is Classified, and it is a Counter-Terrorist skin from The St. Marc Collection.

What the MP9 | Wild Lily looks like in Field-Tested

The base is dark gray-blue, with fine hatching along the top of the body. Dense foliage in violet and crimson tones with orange berries runs across it, and next to the magazine window a large pale blue lily opens, with orange stamens. The magazine carries the same foliage, the grip and stock are outlined with a pink edge, and the muzzle end has a light turquoise tint. According to Valve, the blue lily was hand-painted on top of a purple base layer.

Wear is set when the skin drops, and in Field-Tested it is already noticeable. The pattern is dense, though: foliage fills the whole body, and scuffs break up against many small details. The pink edges on the grip and stock stand proud, so they lighten first.

Where the MP9 | Wild Lily came from

The MP9 | Wild Lily was released on November 19, 2019, along with The St. Marc Collection. In its Operation Shattered Web note, Valve named that collection among four new ones.

What to check before buying

A listing comes down to these signs:

• float: across the wide 0.15 to 0.38 band the paint ranges from nearly clean to visibly scuffed;


• stickers and name tag: both come with the listing;


• the pink edge of the grip and stock, and the outline of the lily by the magazine.

There is no lucky pattern to find on this skin: you only ever get the one. In this wear the band is 0.15 to 0.38, where both nearly clean bodies and clearly worn ones turn up.

What the MP9 | Wild Lily costs in Field-Tested

Factory New costs 1.15 times as much, Minimal Wear 1.05 times. Well-Worn costs 1.16 times as much, so the more worn grade is dearer than Field-Tested. The spread between wears is modest, and the whole scale fits within a fifth of the price.

Of the five Classified MP9s it is the most expensive, by a huge distance. MP9 | Airlock, MP9 | Hydra, MP9 | Food Chain and MP9 | Latte Rush are hundreds of times cheaper.

Getting the MP9 | Wild Lily

No CS2 case holds the MP9 | Wild Lily. For a trade-up to it, you put in ten skins one rank down, and a full ten from St. Marc keeps the result inside that set. Possible inputs include AUG | Midnight Lily, Glock-18 | Synth Leaf and SSG 08 | Sea Calico. The collection has one Classified skin, so the odds with such a ten are one to one.

From there the skin goes into a contract for the Covert AK-47 | Wild Lotus.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The MP9 | Wild Lily has no StatTrak version and no Souvenir packages. A Souvenir copy exists only if you craft one in the Souvenir-O-Matic.

Stickers and craft on the MP9 | Wild Lily

Foliage takes up almost the whole surface, so a sticker sits on the artwork. Violet and pink stickers blend with the leaves, orange ones echo the berries and stamens, and light ones read well against the dark hatching.

Who this wear suits

Field-Tested is worth buying if:

• you want a Classified MP9 for CS2 with a readable flower on the receiver;


• the wide 0.15 to 0.38 band lets you pick a listing closer to the clean edge;


• an intact artwork matters more to you than the cleanest paint.
