Tec-9 | Hades (Well-Worn)

The Tec-9 | Hades (Well-Worn) shows the Industrial Grade ancient-helmet hydrographic in a rougher, more used state. It's a cheaper route to the design for players who don't mind visible scuffing.

Design

At its core, this finish applies a hydrographic of ancient Greek helmets to the Tec-9, aiming for a dark, mythological feel rather than bright colors. It's a Valve-made finish carrying the lore line "If she wanted me to conduct an interview, there was probably an easier way to book it - The Shield and The Storyteller Part 2."

Tec-9 | Hades (Well-Worn) Float and Wear

This finish covers the full 0.00–1.00 float range, and Well-Worn sits well toward the heavier end of it. Scratches and paint thinning become clearly visible across the body at this grade, though the helmet hydrographic remains recognizable overall.

Tec-9 | Hades Rarity

Rated Industrial Grade, this finish falls into the light-blue tier near the bottom of the standard weapon rarities, making it a common grade to find.

Tec-9 | Hades Case and Collection

It's a member of The Gods and Monsters Collection, which arrived with Operation Bloodhound in May 2015, and it has no associated weapon case — it's sourced through collection drops or trade-up contracts.

Tec-9 | Hades Patterns

The helmet hydrographic doesn't vary between copies, since there's no paint seed behind this finish and no "blue gem" version exists. Wear grade and float remain the only distinguishing factors between individual copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak or Souvenir version of the Hades — it only comes in its regular form. The absence of a Souvenir copy is a mechanism issue: those weapons are only distributed through Major-tournament packages, and this finish was never included in one.

Tec-9 | Hades Price

Well-Worn ranks near the bottom of the price ladder for this finish, ahead of only Battle-Scarred, though it still sits within a premium overall price tier for the collection. It's a more accessible way to own the Hades design. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How much wear shows on the Well-Worn Hades?

Quite a bit. Scratches and paint thinning are easy to spot across the body at this grade, more than Field-Tested but less extreme than Battle-Scarred. The dark helmet hydrographic still comes through despite the wear.

Is Well-Worn worth choosing over Field-Tested?

Mainly for buyers focused purely on price. Field-Tested looks noticeably cleaner for a modest cost increase, so it's the more popular pick, but Well-Worn works if minimizing spend matters more than condition.

Which gloves suit the Hades at this wear grade?

Dark gray or black gloves keep the somber, mythology-inspired mood consistent even with visible wear on the pistol. Bronze-toned gloves are another option for players who want to lean into the ancient-Greek theme a bit further.
