Tec-9 | Toxic (Minimal Wear)

The Tec-9 | Toxic (Minimal Wear) carries the same garish hydrographic of nuclear skulls and bones as its Factory New counterpart, just one small step further along the float scale. It's the practical way into a nearly flawless copy of this Mil-Spec Grade pistol skin without paying top dollar.

Design

Toxic is built around a single loud idea — a hydrographic wrap dense with skull-and-bones artwork rendered in a deliberately garish, nuclear-warning style. The community sees this as a Valve-made finish, with no extra flavor text attached to the graphic itself.

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

Sitting just above Factory New on the 0–0.70 float scale, Minimal Wear still shows almost no wear — maybe the faintest scuff under close inspection, but the toxic print stays essentially undamaged. It's the practical alternative to Factory New for barely any visual difference.

Tec-9 | Toxic Rarity

The Toxic carries a Mil-Spec Grade rating, the blue tier that ranks above Consumer and Industrial Grade yet still sits well under Restricted, Classified, and Covert — a common, easy-to-find grade.

Tec-9 | Toxic Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Cache Collection, released in the Jul 2014 update. Rather than a dedicated case, it's earned through the Cache map's own collection drops, plus trading and crafting, and as a Mil-Spec Grade piece it's the tier that comes up most often — roughly 79.92% of drops from that pool.

Tec-9 | Toxic Patterns

There's no random pattern to hunt on the Toxic; the graphic prints the same way on every unit, meaning float and wear alone decide how a given copy looks.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak variant has ever been made for the Toxic. It does come in a Souvenir edition, first handed out in the ESL One Cologne 2014 Cache Souvenir Package, with additional Major souvenir packages following in later years.

Tec-9 | Toxic Price

Minimal Wear costs a step down from Factory New while looking nearly as sharp, making it a smart pick for buyers who want most of the premium look without paying full price. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What's the difference between Minimal Wear and Factory New on the Toxic?

Very little to the naked eye — both sit near the bottom of the 0–0.70 float range, so the skull-and-bones print looks essentially the same. Factory New is marginally lower-float and costs more; Minimal Wear is the better value pick.

Can I get the Tec-9 | Toxic from a case?

Not from a dedicated case — this finish has none. It comes from The Cache Collection's own drop pool while playing that map, plus trading and crafting, with Mil-Spec Grade items like the Toxic making up the bulk of that pool's drops.

Is there a Souvenir Toxic?

Yes. The Souvenir version first appeared in the ESL One Cologne 2014 Cache Souvenir Package and has been reissued in further Major souvenir packages since. It's separate from the regular finish covered here and typically carries a different price.
