MP9 | Old Roots (Minimal Wear)

The MP9 | Old Roots (Minimal Wear) carries the same green vine-and-flower spray as the rest of the line, one step down from the top grade. It's a lightly worn copy that still keeps the artwork close to its sharpest.

Design

The finish coats the MP9 in tangled vines and small flowers across several shades of green, skipping any single flat base color for a more textured look. Valve built this one, and it ships with the flavor line "Established, seasoned, weathered—you can just say old," which fits the aged plant motif.

MP9 | Old Roots (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Minimal Wear sits just below Factory New on Old Roots' 0.00–0.50 float range, so wear here is still minor — a touch of softening on the sharpest edges of the vine pattern, but nothing that hides the green tones. It's a strong middle ground between top-grade cost and top-grade looks.

MP9 | Old Roots Rarity

Industrial Grade is where Old Roots lands — a lower rung on the weapon-skin ladder, meaning supply is generally plentiful compared to the higher tiers.

MP9 | Old Roots Case and Collection

Old Roots comes out of The 2021 Dust 2 Collection, launched alongside Operation Riptide back in September 2021. There's no dedicated case behind it; the finish is picked up through collection-linked trade-ups or the map drop pool from that operation instead of a crate purchase.

MP9 | Old Roots Patterns

Every MP9 | Old Roots carries the identical vine-and-flower layout — the paint seed has no bearing on appearance, so hunting for a rare pattern here is pointless. Float and wear grade are what actually distinguish one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak edition of Old Roots has ever existed. A Souvenir edition does, though, first seen in the Stockholm 2021 Dust II Souvenir Package and picked up again in several later Major souvenir drops rather than all at once. What's covered here is the standard, non-Souvenir finish.

MP9 | Old Roots Price

Minimal Wear lands just under Factory New on the price ladder — nearly the same look for a bit less money, keeping it in the same affordable mid-tier bracket. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Minimal Wear a good alternative to Factory New for Old Roots?

Pretty much, yes. The float difference is small enough that the vine-and-flower artwork still looks close to full strength, and Minimal Wear usually costs a bit less. Unless you want the single cleanest copy on the market, Minimal Wear is a sensible way to save without giving up much visually.

What collection is the MP9 | Old Roots from?

It's part of The 2021 Dust 2 Collection, released with Operation Riptide in September 2021. There's no standalone case for it — copies typically come from collection-linked drops, trade-ups, or the Skin.Land market rather than opening a crate.

Is there a StatTrak MP9 | Old Roots?

No, Old Roots has never had a StatTrak release. It does exist as a Souvenir item from Major tournament packages, starting with Stockholm 2021, but there's no confirmed-kill-counter version of this finish at all.
