MP9 | Old Roots

Origin Story

The MP9 | Old Roots, released on September 22, 2021, as part of Operation Riptide, features a spray-painted vine and flower pattern in various shades of green. This industrial-grade skin from The 2021 Dust 2 Collection is primarily valued as a thematic piece for Dust 2-themed loadouts or as a souvenir option. Its design evokes a weathered, earthy look, consistent with the desert vegetation motif of the collection. The skin's aesthetic aligns with other items from the 2021 Dust 2 set, such as the Sawed-Off | Parched and Nova | Quick Sand.

Drop Chance

MP9 | Old Roots is Industrial Grade, a common skin tier, one step above Consumer Grade. It has appeared across 6 tournament packages, most recently the Rio 2022 Dust II Souvenir Package, Shanghai 2024 Dust II Souvenir Package, and Stockholm 2021 Dust II Souvenir Package.


Souvenir Packages are awarded to viewers watching live Major matches on the corresponding map, not opened from cases, so Valve doesn't publish per-skin drop odds. Each package contains one item from The 2021 Dust 2 Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Industrial Grade skins like Old Roots are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 3 other Industrial Grade skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. New copies only enter the market when a recipient chooses to open their package, so supply trickles in over time even after the tournament ends.

• Well-Worn ($1.30): This tier shows more extensive edge chipping and visible undercoat, giving the skin a faded and muted green appearance.

Visual Theme

Spray-Paint: It has been spray-painted with a vine and flower pattern in various shades of green. The pattern uses various shades of green for the vines and flowers, set against likely neutral base tones that give it a worn, earthy appearance. The receiver and upper body of the MP9, where the vine and flower motif is most prominent, are highly visible in first-person view. Visually, it aligns with the weathered, desert vegetation aesthetic of the 2021 Dust 2 set, complementing other earthy, sand-toned skins from the collection.
