Tec-9 | Avalanche (Factory New)

The Tec-9 | Avalanche (Factory New) is a Restricted pistol finish with a sleek, futuristic custom hydrographic paint job. Factory New is the top grade, showing the design at its sharpest.

Design

Community artist Guardian Gear built this one as a smooth, streamlined hydrographic finish, aiming for a futuristic rather than a busy tactical look. It comes with a fitting in-game line: "We must be smart how we move against her, one wrong move and she'll come crashing down on both of us - The Serpent and the Truth Seeker."

Tec-9 | Avalanche (Factory New) Float and Wear

Float on this finish spans the full 0.00 to 1.00 range, and Factory New sits right at the bottom of it. At this grade the hydrographic finish looks flawless, with none of the scuffing that starts creeping in on lower grades. This is the sharpest the design ever looks.

Tec-9 | Avalanche Rarity

Rarity: Restricted, the purple tier — one step below Classified and solidly above the common grades, a genuinely uncommon pull from the Revolver Case.

Tec-9 | Avalanche Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The Revolver Case Collection and drops from the Revolver Case, released with CS:GO's Winter Update in December 2015. Restricted-tier skins from that case pull at roughly 15.98% combined, a rate shared across the whole tier rather than this finish alone.

Tec-9 | Avalanche Patterns

The design is fixed on every copy, so the paint-seed number has no effect on the look — the hydrographic pattern lands the same way regardless of seed. There's no "best pattern" or blue-gem angle to chase on this finish.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish exists as a regular finish and a StatTrak version, the latter adding a permanent confirmed-kill counter that carries over through trades and sales. There's no Souvenir version, since Souvenir weapons only come from Major-tournament packages and this finish was never included in one.

Tec-9 | Avalanche Price

Factory New tops the Avalanche's own price ladder, a premium pick among Tec-9 finishes for buyers who want the design at its cleanest. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New a big step up from Minimal Wear on this skin?

Visually, it's a modest one — the hydrographic finish already looks sharp at Minimal Wear. Factory New mainly appeals to buyers who want the absolute top float and the lowest available wear number, rather than a dramatically different appearance.

Does the Avalanche have a StatTrak version?

Yes, StatTrak Tec-9 | Avalanche copies exist and add a permanent confirmed-kill counter, and they cost more than the standard version. There's no Souvenir variant of this finish at any wear.

Why doesn't the Avalanche have a Souvenir version?

Souvenir weapons are only ever handed out in Major-tournament souvenir packages, and this finish, tied to the Revolver Case rather than a Major, was never offered in one. It exists only as a regular finish and a StatTrak version.
