Tec-9 | Rebel

Origin Story

The Tec-9 | Rebel, released on February 10, 2023, as part of The Revolution Collection, features a custom painted design. Its muted color palette and loosely affiliated designs give it a distinctive appearance. This skin functions as a standard play skin or a versatile craft base for sticker combinations, rather than a high-status collector's item.

Drop Chance

Tec-9 | Rebel is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Revolution 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 Revolution 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 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($1.43): The custom painted artwork is fully intact, with the muted browns, beiges, desaturated reds, and off-whites appearing crisp and clearly defined. This is the showcase condition for the artwork.
• Minimal Wear ($0.24): Only light edge wear and minor surface scratches appear on high-contact areas like the front shroud and receiver corners, with the overall design remaining very close to Factory New. This tier is often a value pick, offering near-new visuals at a lower price point.
• Field-Tested ($0.09): More noticeable wear appears on the front and side edges, with patchier color and visible greying on parts of the frame, making some doodle elements appear partially worn.
• Well-Worn ($0.08): Significant loss of paint is present on edges and corners, with more of the base metal tone showing through, and the muted palette may look duller.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.08): Heavy wear is evident with large areas of exposed base material, especially at the front and along protruding edges, causing the artwork to appear substantially faded and the colors more greyed out.

Model

Sticker Compatibility

The Tec-9 | Rebel's muted, multi-tone palette of browns, off-whites, and desaturated reds pairs well with stickers in similar color families, or black and white line-art designs that echo its doodle aesthetic. The skin functions as a flexible craft base, suitable for themes that complement its understated, graphic style rather than high-contrast or neon designs.
