Tec-9 | Avalanche (Field-Tested)

The Tec-9 | Avalanche (Field-Tested) shows this Restricted hydrographic finish with an honest amount of wear. It's the most commonly seen grade of this sleek Tec-9 skin.

Design

This is a community design by Guardian Gear, built around a smooth, futuristic hydrographic finish rather than any tactical motif. It carries the 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 (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

The finish's float runs the full 0.00 to 1.00 span, and Field-Tested lands roughly in the middle. Expect some visible scuffing across the grip and slide at this grade, though the hydrographic paint holds its overall sheen reasonably well. It's a clear step down from Minimal Wear but nowhere near the heaviest wear the finish can show.

Tec-9 | Avalanche Rarity

Rarity-wise, this is a Restricted finish — the purple tier, ranked just under Classified and comfortably above the common grades.

Tec-9 | Avalanche Case and Collection

It drops from the Revolver Case, part of The Revolver Case Collection that arrived with CS:GO's Winter Update in December 2015. Combined, Restricted-tier skins from that case pull at around 15.98%, a figure shared across the whole tier.

Tec-9 | Avalanche Patterns

The hydrographic artwork is fixed, so the paint seed makes zero visual difference between copies. There's no rare pattern or "blue gem" version worth searching for on this finish.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No Souvenir version of this finish exists — Souvenir weapons only ever come from Major-tournament packages, and this one never appeared in a Major. A StatTrak version does exist, alongside the regular finish, and adds a permanent confirmed-kill counter.

Tec-9 | Avalanche Price

Field-Tested sits in the middle of the price ladder, cheaper than Minimal Wear and Factory New while still a premium finish overall. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How much wear shows on the Field-Tested Avalanche?

A moderate amount — some visible scuffing on the grip and slide, but the futuristic hydrographic sheen mostly holds up. It's rougher than Minimal Wear but well short of the damage seen on Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred copies.

Is there a StatTrak Field-Tested Avalanche?

Yes, StatTrak versions exist across the finish's wears, including Field-Tested, and they add a permanent kill counter for a higher price than the standard skin. No Souvenir version exists at any wear.

What does the flavor text on the Avalanche mean?

It's an in-game quote — "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" — flavor lore attached to the finish rather than a gameplay hint, adding a bit of story to the skin.
