P250 | Contaminant

Origin Story

The P250 Contaminant, released on December 3, 2020, as part of The Operation Broken Fang Collection, features a maroon top coat that appears eaten away, revealing a decaying weapon. Its distressed look, characterized by eroded maroon and metallic tones, embodies a theme of contamination and decay. This thematic sidearm is considered a mid-tier option within its collection.

Drop Chance

P250 | Contaminant is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Operation Broken Fang Case: approximately 11.42% per opening (roughly 1 in 9). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 7 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.14% from the Operation Broken Fang Case (about 1 in 88). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.7. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($12.97): The maroon top coat and its intended decay pattern appear sharp and saturated, with minimal additional scratching beyond the designed corroded look.
• Minimal Wear ($1.67): The overall aesthetic remains very close to Factory New, with maroon and grey tones strong, showing only minor extra wear on sharp edges and faint surface marks.
• Field-Tested ($1.97): Wear becomes more noticeable along the slide edges and nose, revealing more of the underlying metal and giving a rougher, more heavily corroded appearance.
• Well-Worn ($1.08): Significant loss of the maroon topcoat is visible along prominent edges and potentially on the main slide face, making the maroon appear duller and patchier with more exposed grey and metal.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.84): The weapon appears heavily weathered with substantial paint loss, especially on the slide edges and high-contact surfaces, amplifying the decay theme with large portions of the underlying layer visible.

Biohazard, radiation, or toxic-themed stickers also complement its contaminated and decayed motif.
