Tec-9 | Toxic (Battle-Scarred)

The Tec-9 | Toxic (Battle-Scarred) wears its nuclear skull-and-bones hydrographic through heavy damage, the roughest grade this Mil-Spec Grade pistol skin comes in. It's the cheapest way to run the design for players who prioritize price over surface condition.

Design

Toxic keeps things simple and loud: a hydrographic wrap saturated with nuclear-themed skulls and bones, designed to stand out rather than hide. Valve is credited as the designer, and there's no flavor text tied to the graphic.

Tec-9 | Toxic (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Battle-Scarred is the roughest grade of the Toxic, but the finish's float never climbs past 0.70, so even at its worst the wear stops short of the total paint loss a full 0.00–1.00 skin can reach. Expect heavy scuffing and thinned paint across the body, with the skull-and-bones print still legible through the damage.

Tec-9 | Toxic Rarity

The Toxic sits at Mil-Spec Grade, CS2's blue tier — a common grade overall, ranked above Consumer and Industrial Grade and far below the game's rarer Restricted, Classified, and Covert skins.

Tec-9 | Toxic Case and Collection

The Toxic's home is The Cache Collection, introduced in the Jul 2014 update, and it skips a dedicated case entirely — supply comes from the Cache map's collection drops plus trading and crafting. That Mil-Spec Grade tier dominates the pool, landing at roughly 79.92% of drops.

Tec-9 | Toxic Patterns

No seed hunting applies here — the Toxic's artwork is fixed and identical on every copy, so wear and float remain the only things that change from one unit to the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak Toxic exists. The Souvenir edition is the real special variant here, first seen in the ESL One Cologne 2014 Cache Souvenir Package and picked up again in later Major souvenir packages.

Tec-9 | Toxic Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest way into the Toxic, the budget entry point on an otherwise premium-tier finish. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred the cheapest way to get the Toxic?

Yes, Battle-Scarred sits at the bottom of the price ladder for this finish, making it the most affordable route to owning the design even though the tier itself ranks premium among Tec-9 skins.

How bad is the wear on Battle-Scarred?

Heavy — expect visible scuffing and thinned paint spread across the body. That said, the float cap of 0.70 means it never reaches the total paint loss possible on a full 0.00–1.00 skin, so the skull-and-bones art stays visible.

Why isn't there a cheaper Tec-9 | Toxic than Battle-Scarred?

Battle-Scarred is the worst wear grade in the game, so once you're here there's no lower rung — buying at this level already gets the lowest price the finish offers on the market.
