Tec-9 | Nuclear Threat (Well-Worn)

The Tec-9 | Nuclear Threat (Well-Worn) wears its damage openly, with the green hazard spray showing clear scuffing across the body. It's a budget step toward this grail-tier finish, trading surface condition for a lower price.

Design

The Nuclear Threat's look comes from radiological hazard markings applied in bold green over the body, a stripped-down, sign-like design rather than a busy graphic. It's a Valve finish with no community-artist name attached.

Tec-9 | Nuclear Threat (Well-Worn) Float and Wear

Well-Worn covers roughly 0.38 to 0.45 of the skin's 0.06–0.80 float range, and here the hazard artwork picks up noticeable paint thinning and scuffing across the body. The design stays recognizable, but this is a clearly used-looking copy rather than a clean one. Note also that the whole finish is float-capped at 0.80, so even the roughest copies of the Nuclear Threat stop short of the most extreme wear a skin can reach.

Tec-9 | Nuclear Threat Rarity

This is a Restricted-tier finish — the third rarity from the top of the standard grades, one below Classified. It's genuinely uncommon to pull, if not the game's rarest.

Tec-9 | Nuclear Threat Case and Collection

The Nuclear Threat belongs to The Nuke Collection, released alongside the Arms Deal update in August 2013. Its Restricted tier lands at around a 16% drop rate, and because the collection is over a decade old, virtually all copies now change hands on the market instead of coming from a fresh drop.

Tec-9 | Nuclear Threat Patterns

No paint seed or pattern variation exists on the Nuclear Threat — every copy carries the identical hazard-sign artwork. Wear and float are the only things separating one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak version was never made for this finish. A Souvenir edition was, first appearing in the ESL One Cologne 2014 Nuke Souvenir Package and reappearing at further Majors through their own souvenir packages afterward. What's covered here is the standard, non-Souvenir copy.

Tec-9 | Nuclear Threat Price

Well-Worn sits near the bottom of the price ladder, well below the top three grades, making it a budget-friendly way into an otherwise grail-tier finish. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How worn does the Well-Worn Nuclear Threat look?

Fairly worn — expect visible scuffing and thinning paint across the body, more than Field-Tested but a step short of Battle-Scarred. The hazard design stays identifiable throughout, so it still reads clearly as a Nuclear Threat in-game.

Why isn't Well-Worn as beat-up as it could be?

Because the Nuclear Threat's float never goes past 0.80, even its worst-looking copies stop short of the most extreme wear a full 0.00–1.00 skin could reach. That cap keeps Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred a bit milder than they'd otherwise be.

Is Well-Worn worth buying over Field-Tested?

Mostly for the price. Field-Tested looks noticeably cleaner for a modest cost increase, so it's the more popular pick. Well-Worn appeals mainly to buyers chasing the lowest possible price on this grail-tier finish.
