Tec-9 | Sultan

Origin Story

The Tec-9 | Sultan, released on July 8, 2026, is part of The Arabesque Collection. Its custom paint features detailed arabesque-inspired mosaic designs across the weapon. The Gunsmith finish allows for a detailed, layered appearance, with the mosaic patterns likely most prominent on the upper receiver and sides of the body. The flavor text, "Ceasefire through increased fire," adds a thematic touch to this distinctive skin.

Drop Chance

Tec-9 | Sultan is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Arabesque Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Mil-Spec drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 3 other Mil-Spec 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 ($6.18): The arabesque-inspired mosaic designs appear crisp and fully intact, with maximum color vibrancy and no visible wear on edges.
• Minimal Wear ($1.53): The overall pattern stays nearly identical to Factory New, with only very light edge wear or micro-scratches on high-contact corners and the barrel tip.
• Field-Tested ($0.71): Noticeable edge wear shows on the muzzle, upper receiver edges, and parts of the grip, with some mosaic detail thinning along sharp corners.
• Well-Worn ($0.41): Wear becomes more pronounced, with larger patches of exposed base material on edges and along the front half of the weapon, reducing the sharpness of motifs near heavily exposed edges.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.29): Heavy edge wear covers the weapon, with large areas of base material visible and faded or muted detail, though the core arabesque pattern stays visible on flatter surfaces.

Model

Sultan uses the current Tec-9 model, released on July 8, 2026. The Gunsmith finish responds to CS2's dynamic lighting.
