Tec-9 | Groundwater (Minimal Wear)

The Tec-9 | Groundwater in Minimal Wear (MW) has a float of 0.07 to 0.15 and flat paint with no artwork. It is a Consumer Grade skin from The Italy Collection, and a Terrorist-side weapon. In CS2 it is a plain Tec-9: a pale gray-green body and a cream magazine.

What the Tec-9 | Groundwater looks like in Minimal Wear

The body is a light sage green, matte. The magazine is cream-sand. Brass parts show through near the muzzle and the chamber. Valve describes the skin as separate parts painted in solid colors in an olive-gray palette.

One even color lies on the perforated shroud, the receiver, the grip and the trigger guard. The magazine stands out in a lighter tone. The standard shroud perforation is visible, along with small factory markings on the side that cannot be read. There is no pattern, just matte paint without chips.

What to check before buying

These points matter when buying the Tec-9 | Groundwater:

• float: the wear band of the Tec-9 | Groundwater in this wear is 0.07 to 0.15;


• stickers on the body of the Tec-9 | Groundwater, and a name tag if one is applied.

The finish repeats from listing to listing without change. The scale gives this wear only 0.07 to 0.15, so copies look alike.

What the Tec-9 | Groundwater costs in Minimal Wear

Minimal Wear is the cheapest wear of the skin. Field-Tested costs four percent more, Battle-Scarred 1.2 times as much, Factory New 3.2 times and Well-Worn 3.1 times.

The Tec-9 has eight Consumer Grade skins. The Groundwater in Minimal Wear stands in one row with the Urban DDPAT, Army Mesh and two others, with the gap between them in single percents. The Phoenix Chalk costs 2.7 times as much, and Bamboo Forest and Tornado at the top of the row are far ahead.

Getting the Tec-9 | Groundwater

The skin has no ordinary case. Copies come from tournament Souvenir packages, for example the DreamHack 2013 Souvenir Package and the EMS One 2014 Souvenir Package. There are no skins below it in rank in the collection, so a contract does not lead here.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The skin has no StatTrak. A Souvenir version exists, issued by tournament packages.

Stickers and craft on the Tec-9 | Groundwater

A skin with no artwork does not interfere with stickers. The light green matte shroud takes dark and bright stickers, and the cream magazine leaves a free light field. The brass parts near the barrel add a warm accent for gold stickers.

Who this wear suits

Buying the Tec-9 | Groundwater in exactly this wear makes sense if:

• you want the cheapest way into the skin: no other wear is cheaper;


• you want flat matte paint with no chips and no artwork;


• you want a neutral light base for stickers.
