MP9 | Setting Sun (Factory New)

MP9 | Setting Sun is a Mil-Spec Grade weapon skin in Counter-Strike 2 for the MP9 SMG. It uses the CS:GO (legacy) model format and features the “Setting Sun” finish, a design intended to evoke warm, fading light across the weapon’s surface. The skin is part of the broader catalog of MP9 finishes that players commonly seek for their bold, high-contrast appearance.

As a Mil-Spec Grade item, Setting Sun is considered one of the more accessible tiers in CS2. While exact drop chances are not publicly confirmed for every player or container, Mil-Spec skins generally have better availability than higher rarity grades. Availability across all float values from 0 to 1 means the skin can appear in a wide range of wear levels depending on how it’s acquired.

This skin does not come with StatTrak functionality. However, Souvenir versions are available, making it a popular pick for collectors who like event-linked items. The MP9 | Setting Sun is obtainable in multiple wear states: Factory-New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred—allowing buyers to choose the look that best matches their collection.

Visually, the “Setting Sun” pattern is designed to stand out on the MP9’s compact frame. The finish and pattern placement are defined by Paint Index 368, producing the signature look associated with this specific skin. In general, players appreciate skins like this for their warm color contrast and clean readability, especially in gameplay where weapon skins should remain distinctive at a glance.
