Origin Story
The Tec-9 | Red Quartz, released on November 27, 2013, as part of The Train Collection, features a metallic paint finish. A crystallizing mask creates its distinctive pattern, giving the weapon a unique texture. This skin was introduced during the "Out with the old, in with the new" update.
Drop Chance
Tec-9 | Red Quartz is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. It has appeared across 10 tournament packages, most recently the Krakow 2017 Train Souvenir Package, London 2018 Train Souvenir Package, and MLG Columbus 2016 Train 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 Train Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Restricted skins like Red Quartz are a small fraction of total package contents. 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.
Skin Condition
Float range 0 to 0.4. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn. StatTrak is not available for this skin. Factory New ($1.04): The red quartz pattern is fully vibrant and clear across the weapon's body. Minimal Wear ($0.46): Minor scuffs begin to appear on the edges of the receiver, but the red quartz pattern remains largely intact. Field-Tested ($0.46): Noticeable wear and dulling of the red quartz pattern are present on the grip and slide. Well-Worn ($0.70): Significant abrasion and fading of the red quartz pattern are visible, particularly on high-contact areas.
Model
Red Quartz uses the legacy Tec-9 model, introduced with Out with the old, in with the new on November 27, 2013. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
