MP9 | Dart (Well-Worn)

The MP9 | Dart (Well-Worn) carries the black and gray chevron hydrographic in a heavily handled state, one step above the roughest grade. It's an affordable way to run the design for players who don't mind visible damage.

Design

The finish leans on a black-and-gray chevron-striped hydrographic for a stripped-down, tactical aesthetic on the compact SMG. Valve built it, and the accompanying flavor text reads "Throw enough downfield and you're bound to hit the bullseye eventually."

MP9 | Dart (Well-Worn) Float and Wear

Well-Worn sits near the top of the Dart's 0–0.46 float range. Scuffing and paint thinning spread across the gray panels here, and the chevron edges soften noticeably, though the overall stripe pattern is still identifiable up close.

MP9 | Dart Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — blue, the base tier of the standard weapon grades, sitting under Restricted, Classified, and Covert.

MP9 | Dart Case and Collection

Dart drops from the Operation Vanguard Weapon Case as part of The Vanguard Collection, both tied to the Operation Vanguard update from November 2014. Mil-Spec finishes account for around four-fifths of that case's drops, so pulling a Dart is a fairly ordinary outcome.

MP9 | Dart Patterns

Every copy of this finish shares the identical fixed chevron layout — no seed roll changes it, so there's no blue-gem or rare-pattern chase to be had. Only float and wear grade tell copies apart.

StatTrak & Souvenir

StatTrak™ Dart copies exist, tallying confirmed kills on a counter that stays attached through every trade or sale. No Souvenir variant was ever produced, since Souvenir weapons come exclusively from Major-tournament packages and Dart's collection has never been part of one.

MP9 | Dart Price

Well-Worn undercuts Field-Tested, Minimal Wear, and Factory New in cost, landing just above the cheapest available grade. It's important to note the Dart's float caps out at 0.46, so even at this grade the wear stops short of what a full-range skin would show at the same tier. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How visible is the wear on the Well-Worn Dart?

Fairly visible — the gray panels pick up scuffing and the chevron edges lose some sharpness, but the stripe pattern remains identifiable rather than blurring into a solid mess. It's a step rougher than Field-Tested without being the worst grade available.

Why doesn't the Dart get more worn at higher float?

Because the finish is float-capped at 0.46 instead of the full 1.00 scale, its worn grades never reach the extreme scuffing seen on skins without a cap, so Well-Worn and the grade above it stay milder than the name might suggest.

Is Well-Worn a good budget pick for the Dart?

Yes, if minimizing cost matters more than a pristine look. It's cheaper than the middle grades while the chevron design is still readable, making it a reasonable entry point into this premium-tier finish without paying full price.
