Tec-9 | Hades

Origin Story

The Tec-9 | Hades, released on May 26, 2015, with Operation Bloodhound, is a thematic piece from The Gods and Monsters Collection. It features a hydrographic of ancient Greek helmets, giving the weapon a distinctive, antiqued appearance. This skin is recognized for its ancient Greek motif, making it a popular choice for players building themed inventories. It offers a way to own a piece of the highly sought-after Gods and Monsters Collection, which also includes skins like the AWP | Medusa and M4A4 | Poseidon.

Drop Chance

Tec-9 | Hades is Industrial Grade, a common skin tier, one step above Consumer Grade. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Gods and Monsters Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Industrial Grade drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 3 other Industrial Grade skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($50.44): The hydrographic pattern of ancient Greek helmets is crisp and fully intact, with strong contrast between the dark black/charcoal background and the cream/beige and muted golden-tan helmet shapes.
• Minimal Wear ($24.51): Helmet details and the background remain highly readable, with only slight softening of lines or tiny edge wear beginning on sharp corners and the front of the weapon.
• Field-Tested ($22.82): Noticeable fading and dulling of the hydrographic appear, especially along protruding edges and the front section, making helmet details look slightly blurred.
• Well-Worn ($22.25): Heavier edge wear and broader faded areas are expected, with helmet shapes looking more washed-out and the dark base tone overtaking some fine pattern details.
• Battle-Scarred ($25.00): The hydrographic patterns become significantly faded, with helmet motifs partially obscured by darkened wear, scratches, and exposed base tones on edges.

Sticker Compatibility

The Tec-9 | Hades, with its dark background and muted golden-tan helmet motifs, pairs well with gold, beige, bronze, and black, white, or grey stickers. The skin's thematic appeal suggests that stickers complementing its ancient Greek aesthetic would be a natural fit. The receiver side and upper body sticker slots are generally most visible during gameplay for Tec-9 skins.
