Tec-9 | Blast From the Past (Battle-Scarred)

The Tec-9 | Blast From the Past (Battle-Scarred) is the most affordable way to own this Mil-Spec pistol's pale green and beige ancient-tile design. Even worn down, the tile artwork holds up reasonably well.

Design

The finish paints ancient tiles in pale green and beige tones across the Tec-9's body, aiming for a ruin-like, weathered atmosphere. Credited to Valve, it pairs with the line "Hope remains, even for those began their journey down the wrong path," reinforcing that ancient theme.

Tec-9 | Blast From the Past (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Battle-Scarred sits at the top of the 0.00–0.65 float range, so it carries the heaviest scuffing and paint loss this finish offers. Since that range stops well short of a full 1.0, the worst-case wear here still looks noticeably milder than Battle-Scarred on a skin that runs the full scale.

Tec-9 | Blast From the Past Rarity

This is a Mil-Spec Grade finish, the standard blue rarity tier that stays widely available across the market.

Tec-9 | Blast From the Past Case and Collection

Blast From the Past is drawn from The Ancient Collection, tied to Operation Broken Fang from December 2020. It skips a dedicated case entirely, coming from collection drops instead, with Mil-Spec odds sitting around 79.92% in that pool.

Tec-9 | Blast From the Past Patterns

The tile artwork never changes based on paint seed — every copy, including this one, shows the identical layout. There's no rare pattern to seek out, just wear and float differences.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Both regular and Souvenir versions of this finish exist, though StatTrak was never added to it. The Stockholm 2021 Ancient Souvenir Package introduced the Souvenir line, and later Major souvenir packages have kept adding to it since.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred worth buying over a cleaner grade?

If budget is the priority, yes — the float cap on this finish means it never gets excessively worn, so the tile pattern stays visible even here. It's the cheapest way into the skin without losing the design entirely.

What's the cheapest grade of this skin overall?

Battle-Scarred sits at the bottom of the price ladder for Blast From the Past, below Well-Worn and every cleaner grade. It's the go-to option for the tightest budgets.

Does this finish ever get a StatTrak Souvenir combo?

No — StatTrak and Souvenir status never combine on any CS2 skin, and Blast From the Past has no StatTrak version to begin with. It only splits into a regular finish and a separate Souvenir finish from Major packages.
