P250 | Nuclear Threat

Origin Story

The P250 | Nuclear Threat, released on August 14, 2013, with The Arms Deal Update, is a legacy pistol from The Nuke Collection. It features a spray-painted design with bright toxic-green and black radiological warning hazard patterns. This distinct visual identity, combined with its scarcity as a souvenir-only drop from older Nuke packages, establishes it as a collector's flex piece. It is often grouped with other items like the M4A4 | Radiation Hazard, forming a radioactive-themed set for collectors.

Drop Chance

P250 | Nuclear Threat is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. It has appeared across 8 tournament packages, most recently the ESL One Katowice 2015 Nuke Souvenir Package, Krakow 2017 Nuke Souvenir Package, and MLG Columbus 2016 Nuke 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 Nuke Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Restricted skins like Nuclear Threat are a small fraction of total package contents. There is 1 other Restricted skin 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 ($61.02): Significant edge wear is present, with larger areas of the green finish worn down, making the hazard pattern appear patchy.
• Battle-Scarred ($59.58): Heavy wear covers most exposed surfaces, with much of the bright green replaced by faded color and exposed base, though the radioactive theme is still recognizable.
