MP9 | Ruby Poison Dart (Battle-Scarred)

The MP9 | Ruby Poison Dart (Battle-Scarred) is the finish in its roughest available state, with heavy wear over the red and purple metallic paint. It's the cheapest way to add this Restricted design to a loadout.

Design

Ruby Poison Dart's design layers red and purple metallic paints over a black base coat, taking cues from poison-dart frog markings for a bold, exotic finish. Community artist Dirp created it, and it carries the flavor line "Who says diamonds are a girl's best friend?" playing off its jewel-toned palette.

MP9 | Ruby Poison Dart (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Battle-Scarred sits at the top of Ruby Poison Dart's float range, but that range caps at 0.50 rather than the full 1.00, so even this roughest grade stops short of the most extreme wear other skins can show. Expect heavy scratching and dulled color, though the black base and red-purple contrast remain visible.

MP9 | Ruby Poison Dart Rarity

This finish is Restricted Grade, the tier just below Classified, so scarcity plays a real role compared to the more common Consumer and Industrial Grade skins.

MP9 | Ruby Poison Dart Case and Collection

Ruby Poison Dart is part of The Falchion Collection and drops from the Falchion Case, both dating to Operation Bloodhound in May 2015. Restricted-tier odds from that case run around 15.98%, with copies also available on the open market.

MP9 | Ruby Poison Dart Patterns

The red-and-purple artwork is fixed on every copy of Ruby Poison Dart regardless of paint seed, so there's no rare pattern or "blue gem" equivalent to look for. Only wear and float separate one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak version of Ruby Poison Dart exists at Battle-Scarred as well, adding a permanent confirmed-kill counter. No Souvenir edition has ever been offered, since the finish was never part of a Major-tournament package.

MP9 | Ruby Poison Dart Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade on the Ruby Poison Dart ladder, giving budget buyers a way into an otherwise affordable mid-tier finish for even less. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the Battle-Scarred Ruby Poison Dart still look good?

Despite heavy scratching and some color loss, the red-and-purple pattern over the black base stays visible enough to recognize the finish at a glance in-game. Battle-Scarred trades surface polish for the lowest price, not the design itself.

Why buy Battle-Scarred over higher grades?

Price is the main draw — Battle-Scarred is the lowest-cost way to own this Restricted finish. If surface condition matters less than getting the look into your loadout cheaply, this grade makes the most sense.

Is there a float cap affecting Battle-Scarred Ruby Poison Dart?

Yes. Since the finish's float tops out at 0.50 instead of a full 1.00, even Battle-Scarred copies fall short of the harshest wear possible, so the red-and-purple design stays a bit more visible than on some uncapped skins.
