Tec-9 | Remote Control (Field-Tested)

The Tec-9 | Remote Control (Field-Tested) is a Classified pistol skin featuring hand-painted dials and switches on a blue base. Field-Tested is the popular middle grade, balancing a still-legible design against a meaningfully lower price.

Design

The blue body is covered in hand-painted dials and switches, giving the finish a busy, control-panel character rather than a single clean motif. It's a Valve-made design paired with the flavor line "Don't touch that dial."

Tec-9 | Remote Control (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Sitting around the middle of the finish's full 0.00–1.00 float range, Field-Tested shows moderate scuffing on raised edges and some fading in the blue base. The dial and switch details still read clearly despite the added wear.

Tec-9 | Remote Control Rarity

The rarity tier is Classified, the pink grade sitting one rung below Covert — an uncommon pull relative to the standard weapon rarities.

Tec-9 | Remote Control Case and Collection

This finish is part of The 2018 Nuke Collection, which debuted in September 2018 with the FACEIT 2018 update. The Classified tier drops at about three percent from its case, and since that case is retired from active pools, buyers mostly find copies on the market rather than through unboxing.

Tec-9 | Remote Control Patterns

Remote Control has no pattern variation to speak of — every copy carries the identical dial-and-switch layout, so there's no seed number or blue-gem chase involved. Wear and float remain the only distinguishing factors.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish comes in both a regular and a Souvenir edition, but there's no StatTrak variant. Souvenir copies trace back to the London 2018 Nuke Souvenir Package, with more Major packages issued at other tournaments over time.

Tec-9 | Remote Control Price

Field-Tested sits in the middle of the price ladder, cheaper than Minimal Wear and Factory New while remaining above Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. It's a fair way to land the design without paying top dollar. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Field-Tested a solid pick for Remote Control?

Yes, it's the classic mid-range option — a real step down in price from the top two grades while the dials, switches, and blue base still show clearly in-game. It suits players who don't need a spotless copy.

How much wear does Field-Tested actually show?

Expect moderate scuffing along edges and a bit of fading across the blue base compared to Minimal Wear. The detailed dial artwork remains fully recognizable, just without the sharpest possible finish.

Can I get a Souvenir Field-Tested Remote Control?

Yes, Souvenir copies are available across all wear grades, including Field-Tested, and come from Major-tournament packages rather than a case, starting with London 2018. No StatTrak version exists at any grade.
