MP9 | Cobalt Paisley (Battle-Scarred)

The MP9 | Cobalt Paisley (Battle-Scarred, BS) is the roughest, cheapest condition of this royal-blue Mil-Spec finish. It's the lowest-cost way to own the paisley design on an MP9.

Design

An ornate paisley motif in rich blue covers the whole weapon here, a textile-inspired look that sets it apart from typical camo skins. Valve designed it, and its flavor line drives the theme home: "Only the finest textiles for you, Booth - Yukako, Gunsmith."

MP9 | Cobalt Paisley (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Float on this finish caps at 0.65 instead of the full 1.0 scale, and Battle-Scarred sits at the top of that shortened range. Expect heavy scuffing and faded patches across the paisley pattern, though it never reaches the most extreme wear a full-range skin would show.

MP9 | Cobalt Paisley Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the base tier among weapon finishes, common by design but still a distinctive custom pattern.

MP9 | Cobalt Paisley Case and Collection

It's part of The Ascent Collection, released with the Spring Forward update in March 2025. This finish comes as a collection drop, with Mil-Spec items generally sitting around 79.92% within their tier.

MP9 | Cobalt Paisley Patterns

The paisley motif never changes between copies — it's a fixed pattern with no seed variation or standout layout, so there's no blue-gem equivalent to search for here. Condition is the deciding factor.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish exists only in its standard form, with no StatTrak version ever released. It's also missing from every Major-tournament souvenir package, so no Souvenir copy exists either.

MP9 | Cobalt Paisley Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade available for this finish, the entry-level way to add the paisley pattern to an MP9 for as little as possible. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred still worth buying?

If price is the priority, yes — even with heavy scuffing, the deep-blue paisley pattern stays identifiable, and the 0.65 float cap keeps it from looking as rough as a full-range Battle-Scarred skin.

What's the cheapest way to own this finish?

Battle-Scarred, without a doubt — sitting at the base of an already budget-tier finish, this is about as inexpensive as the Cobalt Paisley will ever get.

Does wear grade affect the MP9's stats?

No, condition is purely cosmetic. A Battle-Scarred MP9 | Cobalt Paisley performs identically to a Factory New (FN) copy in every gameplay respect — only the surface look differs.
