MP9 | Old Roots (Field-Tested)

The MP9 | Old Roots (Field-Tested) shows the finish's green vine-and-flower spray with a moderate amount of honest wear. It's the most common way players run this Industrial Grade finish, balancing look and price.

Design

Old Roots layers vines and flowers over the MP9 in a range of green shades rather than a solid color, giving it a more organic, painted-on feel than most flat finishes. Valve is credited as the designer, and the in-game flavor text — "Established, seasoned, weathered—you can just say old" — nods to that weathered, natural theme.

MP9 | Old Roots (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Field-Tested falls in the middle of Old Roots' 0.00–0.50 float range, bringing visible scuffing to raised edges of the vine pattern while the green base still reads clearly overall. It's the balance point most buyers land on — noticeable wear, but the design stays easy to make out.

MP9 | Old Roots Rarity

This finish carries the Industrial Grade rarity — a common weapon-skin tier, so it's not a hard pull or a scarce find compared to the higher grades.

MP9 | Old Roots Case and Collection

Old Roots is a piece of The 2021 Dust 2 Collection, tied to the September 2021 launch of Operation Riptide. No weapon case sells it directly; supply runs through collection drops and trade-ups from that period, or simply buying a copy on the market.

MP9 | Old Roots Patterns

There's no pattern variation to worry about on Old Roots — the vine-and-flower artwork sits identically on every copy regardless of paint seed, so there's no rare version to look for. Only wear and float set copies apart.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Old Roots has no StatTrak version at all. A Souvenir version exists, though, debuting in the Stockholm 2021 Dust II Souvenir Package and reappearing in assorted later Major packages over time. The regular finish described here carries neither a kill counter nor Souvenir tag.

MP9 | Old Roots Price

Field-Tested sits in the middle of the Old Roots ladder, cheaper than Minimal Wear and Factory New while the design is still perfectly readable — a solid affordable mid-tier buy. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How worn does the Field-Tested Old Roots look?

It picks up light-to-moderate scuffing on raised parts of the vine pattern, but the green artwork stays clearly visible overall. It's a step down from Minimal Wear in polish, though most players won't notice much difference at normal in-game viewing distance.

Is Field-Tested the best value grade for Old Roots?

For most buyers, yes. It costs less than Minimal Wear or Factory New while keeping the vine-and-flower design fully legible, making it the most commonly picked grade. Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred go even cheaper if a lower price matters more than surface condition.

Can I get a Souvenir MP9 | Old Roots at Field-Tested?

Yes — Souvenir copies exist across the wear range, not just one grade, since they come from Major tournament packages rather than a specific float lock. The regular Field-Tested finish covered here is the non-Souvenir version, without a kill counter or tournament tag.
