Tec-9 | Perimeter (Minimal Wear)

The Tec-9 | Perimeter (Minimal Wear, MW) still shows its multicolored Xs, squares, and dots close to full clarity, just past the very top of the float range. It's a near-fresh way to own this newly added finish.

Design

Kuch, the community artist behind the Perimeter, built the pattern from Xs, squares, and dots to fit the surveillance and security tone of The Spy Tech Collection. The design carries the flavor text "Drawing up the X's and O's."

Tec-9 | Perimeter (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Within the finish's full 0.00–1.00 float range, Minimal Wear picks up right after Factory New (FN) and runs to about 0.15. Wear is light at this stage, with only slight softening visible, so the multicolored pattern still comes through clearly.

Tec-9 | Perimeter Rarity

This finish sits at Industrial Grade, among the more common of the standard weapon tiers, well below Restricted, Classified, and Covert. It's a widely available grade.

Tec-9 | Perimeter Case and Collection

The Perimeter is part of The Spy Tech Collection, which debuted alongside the Armory update in July 2026. No weapon case backs this finish, so it's sourced from the collection's drop pool rather than case-opening odds.

Tec-9 | Perimeter Patterns

Every copy of the Perimeter carries the identical pattern of Xs, squares, and dots — the paint seed has no effect on how it looks, so there's no "blue gem" to search for. Wear and float are the only real differences between copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak or Souvenir editions exist for this finish. As a recent Spy Tech Collection addition, it has never featured in a Major-tournament souvenir package, which is the only route to a Souvenir weapon.

Tec-9 | Perimeter Price

Being so new, the Perimeter doesn't have established market pricing yet, but Minimal Wear should land just under Factory New once trading activity builds. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is there much visual difference between Factory New and Minimal Wear?

Very little. At Minimal Wear the Xs, squares, and dots still show clearly with only minor softening, so most players won't spot a meaningful difference from Factory New at typical in-game viewing distance.

Why doesn't the Perimeter have set price tiers yet?

It only arrived with the Armory update in July 2026, so the market hasn't had time to establish stable pricing across its wears. That should settle in as more copies trade hands.

Does the Perimeter have a StatTrak counter?

No. StatTrak wasn't released alongside this finish, so it's only available as the standard, non-StatTrak skin regardless of which wear you choose.
