The Tec-9 is arguably one of the strongest pistols available for the offensive side and is an amazing choice during eco rounds or low buys. Being able to run-and-gun with the weapon has made it incredibly effective to rush into bomb sites. If you love using the Tec-9 and want to look fashionably good when using it, here are the 10 best Tec-9 skins you can get for under the $10 mark. You may find that these are some of the best CS2 Skins ever!
Tec-9 | Fuel Injector
- Rarity: Classified
- Case: Gamma 2 Case
- Condition Under $10: Minimal Wear
- Price: $5.34
- Flavor Text: “Pit crew not included”
We think the perfect Tec-9 skin for players looking for a budget-friendly alternative has to be the Tec-9 | Fuel Injector.
The Tec-9 | Fuel Injector skin features a relatively flashy design thanks to its apparent yellow and black color scheme. This shade of yellow gives off an industrial theme, and the black touches create a color contrast to make the skin stand out. The rest of the skin has been given intricate details and markings to make it seem like a piece of construction equipment.
Since the Fuel Injector is a Classified skin, you should expect it to have some pretty high prices, which is why we can only get this skin in Minimal Wear condition if we’re looking to stick to the $10 budget. The condition we recommend will cost you over $5, allowing you to save a little less than half of your money.
Also remember that you can pair this skin up with the AK-47 | Fuel Injector, allowing you to have matching primary and secondary weapons!
Tec-9 | Decimator
- Rarity: Classified
- Case: Shattered Web Case
- Condition Under $10: Field-Tested
- Price: $9.09
- Flavor Text: “Available for 4 easy payments of $124.95!”
The Tec-9 | Decimator is arguably the most popular Tec-9 skin in the game, thanks to its vibrant and eye-catching design.
The Decimator skin gives off a futuristic vibe with its neon and cyberpunk theme, using captivating colors such as neon pink, blue, and purple. The skin is also adorned with geometric patterns and various lines, which create a high-tech and sci-fi aesthetic. Overall, the Tec-9 | Decimator has a sleek finish and great attention to detail.
Though we are huge fans of the Tec-9 | Decimator skin, we’ve moved it down a place since we can only afford it in Field-Tested condition, and even that will cost you a little over $9. The skin does suffer from the tears that come in with this condition, but the concept of the skin still stands, so we don’t think it’s too bad.
Tec-9 | Isaac
- Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade
- Case: Huntsman Weapon Case
- Condition Under $10: Factory New
- Price: $9.32
- Flavor Text: –
The Tec-9 | Isaac is one of the oldest Tec-9 skins in the game, and has essentially become one of the best skins for this Terrorist-side pistol.
The Isaac skin features a sleek and simple design, using a bold color scheme of red accents over a matte black base. These geometric and line patterns give the Tec-9 | Isaac skin a very futuristic and sci-fi vibe. Overall, it is an amazing minimalistic skin that is a great choice for players who prefer clean designs.
OG Counter-Strike players will remember that the Tec-9 | Isaac skin used to cost cents back in the day, but its prices have significantly increased throughout the years. Despite being a Mil-Spec grade, you can barely afford a Factory New version of the Isaac with $10, as it sits a little over the $9 mark. This is because Huntsman Cases have become rarer and cost $8 each.
Tec-9 | Brother
- Rarity: Restricted
- Case: Fracture Case
- Condition Under $10: Factory New
- Price: $1.41
- Flavor Text: “I’ll watch our butts”
If you have a male sibling and love them dearly, you should definitely check out the Tec-9 | Brother skin.
The Brother skin has a pretty rugged design, giving the idea that the skin is inspired by the military. The skin features a desert camouflage design, which explains the brown, yellow, and tan colors throughout the skin. This color palette makes the Tec-9 | Brother a great skin for players who prefer more realistic-looking skins rather than futuristic and vibrant ones.
The Tec-9 | Brother is one of the cheapest skins on the list, as you can easily purchase it in Factory New condition for a little over $1. This skin comes from the Fracture Collection, which is one of the most affordable cases in the market at the moment, which explains its accessible price point. You also have room to add a sweet StatTrak counter to this skin without hurting your wallet.
Tec-9 | Remote Control
- Rarity: Classified
- Case: Nuke Souvenir Package
- Condition Under $10: Factory New
- Price: $3.15
- Flavor Text: “Don’t touch that dial”
If you’re bored of simple and predictable designs, you should definitely check out the Tec-9 | Remote Control if you want something new.
The Tec-9 | Remote Control skin stands out with its unique design which is based on a remote control, as the skin’s name suggests already. The skin features a very vibrant color scheme, using neon blue, bright oranges, and several remote control-inspired details. There are buttons on the skin painted in various colors such as red and green, making the skin stand out.
The Tec-9 | Remote Control comes from the Nuke Collection. Most of the time, skins that come from map collections can be quite expensive, but the Remote Control is surprisingly affordable even though it is under the Classified category. However, the Souvenir version of the skin is way out of reach for our budget, even in its worst conditions.
Tec-9 | Titanium Bit
- Rarity: Restricted
- Case: CS:GO Weapon Case 3
- Condition Under $10: Factory New
- Price: $5.13
- Flavor Text: –
We’re going to throw it back to one of the older skins in the game, which is the Tec-9 | Titanium Bit skin.
Going back to sleek designs, the Tec-9 | Titanium Bit offers players with a very clean aesthetic. As the skin’s name hints already, the Blue Titanium skin has been covered in a blue titanium bit which features a combination of gray and light blue colors, perfectly evoking a metallic feeling. The bottom half of the skin remains untouched, adding on to its simple and minimalistic design.
The Tec-9 | Titanium Bit comes from the CS:GO Weapon Case 3, which is one of the more expensive cases in the game, selling at the $6 mark. Though it is a Restricted skin, the Titanium Bit costs a little more than $5 to get in its best condition. Another interesting thing is that the Tec-9 | Titanium Bit only comes in Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested condition.
Tec-9 | Avalanche
- Rarity: Restricted
- Case: Revolver Case
- Condition Under $10: Factory New
- Price: $3.91
- Flavor Text: “We must be smart how we move against her, one wrong move and she’ll come crashing down on both of us – The Serpent and the Truth Seeker”
The Tec-9 | Avalanche is a skin that appeals to players who enjoy the winter and perhaps snow-related sports.
The Avalanche skin is inspired by an actual avalanche, and features a combination of blue and white colors, which resembles the imagery of ice and snow. These two colors create a very refreshing palette, just like how you’d feel during the winter season. Despite being named “Avalanche,” this Tec-9 skin isn’t too chaotic, making it still feel very sleek and modern.
The Tec-9 | Avalanche is a Restricted skin from the Revolver Collection. It isn’t one of the highest rarities, and its case isn’t too expensive either. So, the $4 price tag on the Factory New version of the Avalanche skin makes perfect sense, and is definitely a fair price. If you want the skin in StatTrak Factory New, you’ll have to spend an additional $2 from the $10 budget we’ve set.
Tec-9 | Bamboozle
- Rarity: Restricted
- Case: Prisma Case
- Condition Under $10: Factory New
- Price: $1.32
- Flavor Text: “Don’t be deceived”
Green isn’t the most popular color when it comes to CS2 skins, but the Tec-9 | Bamboozle might have pulled off the color pretty well.
As we briefly stated above, the Tec-9 | Bamboozle skin features a bright green color scheme which dominates the majority of the weapon. The remaining areas are painted in black, creating a striking contrast between the two colors. The Bamboozle skin isn’t too heavy on the design, as it only contains a few subtle and playful elements here and there. Overall, it is a pretty subtle skin.
The Bamboozle skin comes from the recently released Prisma Collection, which is a case still in the active drop pool. This means the prices for the skin haven’t adjusted completely yet, but it is still far off from the $10 budget we’ve set. A Factory New version of this green skin only costs a little over a dollar, making it extremely affordable.
Tec-9 | Re-Entry
- Rarity: Restricted
- Case: Chroma 3 Case
- Condition Under $10: Factory New
- Price: $1.30
- Flavor Text: “ I hate being right all the time – Carmen Cocinero, Extraction Expert”
If you prefer flame-inspired designs like the Desert Eagle | Blaze, the Tec-9 | Re-Entry skin might be of your liking.
This Tec-9 skin has been given a flame decal on the barrel. The skin features a unique combination of colors, which involve fiery red, blues, and an overall metallic tone. The rest of the skin has pretty much been polished to give off a very smooth and premium appearance. The Tec-9 | Re-Entry isn’t too attention-grabbing, but it isn’t too bland either. Overall a very well-balanced skin.
The Tec-9 | Re-Entry is another one of the cheapest skins on the list, as it comes from the Chroma 3 Collection and is only a Restricted grade skin. You can already purchase a brand new Tec-9 | Re-Entry in its best condition for $1.30, which sounds like an amazing deal. There is also room for the StatTrak condition if you’re willing to spend a few extra dollars.
Tec-9 | Bamboo Forest
- Rarity: Consumer Grade
- Case: None (The Rising Sun Collection)
- Condition Under $10: Factory New
- Price: $6.46
- Flavor Text: “I still think it should have a panda – Booth, Arms Dealer”
Finally, we’ll end the list off with the Tec-9 | Bamboo Forest skin, which features a very serene design.
You can already tell from the name of the skin that the Tec-9 | Bamboo Forest has been decorated with bamboo leaves, which are falling over a white base background. This color scheme between green and white creates a very calming and fresh vibe. Overall, the Bamboo Forest skin feels very natural and sleek, making it a great skin with a balanced aesthetic.
The Bamboo Forest skin comes from the Rising Sun Collection, which also contains the AK-47 | Hydroponic. This means the Tec-9 | Bamboo Forest makes a perfect combination with the Hydroponic, allowing you to match your primary and secondary rifles. Despite being a Consumer Grade skin, the Tec-9 | Bamboo Forest is actually quite expensive, as it costs $6.40 in Factory New condition with no Souvenir available.
