Tec-9 | Slag (Factory New)

The Tec-9 | Slag (Factory New) is a Mil-Spec pistol skin built to look handmade, right down to the welding on the receiver. Factory New is the top grade of the range, giving buyers the sharpest possible read on that industrial paint job.

Design

Community artist EGO DEATH custom-painted the Slag so it looks assembled by hand rather than factory-finished, with rough gray tones running from the grip to the receiver's welded seams. It's paired with the in-game line "You have insurance, right?" — a nod to how rough and jury-rigged the finish looks.

Tec-9 | Slag (Factory New) Float and Wear

The Slag's float runs from 0.00 all the way to 0.90, and Factory New sits right at the low end of that scale. Here the gray, hand-welded texture reads at its sharpest, with barely any surface wear breaking up the industrial detailing.

Tec-9 | Slag Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade, the blue tier and the most common rarity that a weapon case pays out. It's an easy pull, well below the case's Restricted and higher grades.

Tec-9 | Slag Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Kilowatt Collection and drops from the Kilowatt Case, released in February 2024. Mil-Spec skins make up about 79.92% of that case's total outcomes as a group, and since the Kilowatt Case is a current, active case, fresh copies are still being unboxed alongside what's already on the market.

Tec-9 | Slag Patterns

The Slag has no paint-seed variation — the hand-welded gray look is identical on every copy, so there's no pattern index or "blue gem" seed worth chasing. Wear and float are what separate one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish exists as a regular finish and a StatTrak version, with the StatTrak edition tracking confirmed kills permanently once it starts counting. There's no Souvenir version — Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages, and this finish was never offered in one.

Tec-9 | Slag Price

Factory New commands the top of the Slag's price ladder as the sharpest-looking grade available, though the finish overall stays a budget pistol skin even at its best. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it over Minimal Wear on the Slag?

It depends on how much you value a sharp finish. Factory New shows the gray, hand-welded texture at its clearest, but Minimal Wear looks close enough for most players at a lower cost, since the Slag's rough theme hides small imperfections well.

What case does the Slag come from?

It drops from the Kilowatt Case, which released in February 2024 as part of The Kilowatt Collection. Since that case is still active, the Slag can be unboxed directly or bought straight off the market.

Does StatTrak change how the Slag looks?

No, StatTrak only adds a kill counter to the inspect screen — the gray, industrial artwork itself is unchanged. It's rarer and pricier than the standard version, but the two look identical otherwise.
