Souvenir P250 | Contaminant (Minimal Wear)
A low-recoil firearm with a high rate of fire, the P250 is a relatively inexpensive choice against armored opponents. Its maroon topcoat has been eaten away, leaving a decaying weapon with limited remaining uses.

Description
The P250 | Contaminant is a Mil-Spec Grade pistol skin associated with the CS:GO (legacy) model line and is found in The Operation Broken Fang Collection. It was introduced as part of the Broken Fang era content, bringing a distinctive “industrial/contaminated” visual theme to the P250 lineup—one of CS’s most widely used sidearms.
As a Mil-Spec Grade skin, Contaminant is generally considered more accessible than higher-tier drops, though actual drop chances aren’t publicly guaranteed. In CS2’s case ecosystem, Mil-Spec items typically have higher relative availability compared to restricted grades, but rarity still depends on the specific container odds and the wear you roll within the allowed float range.
This skin supports multiple wear categories: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred (float range 0.0–0.7). StatTrak is available (Yes), allowing you to track confirmed kills, while Souvenir is not available (No).
Visually, the Contaminant finish delivers a textured, industrial look designed to resemble contamination stains and weathered surfaces. With Paint index: 982, the pattern placement can vary slightly across wears, which is why players often compare how the design reads at different float values. The overall effect is rugged and practical—appealing to those who prefer combat-worn aesthetics.
To obtain it, look for the Operation Broken Fang Case, where the P250 | Contaminant can be unboxed as part of the case’s possible weapon pool. You’ll also find it tied to The Operation Broken Fang Collection, making it a common choice for players building a themed collection from that operation.
In the CS community, the P250 is a fan-favorite for its reliable in-game feel, and Contaminant is often appreciated for its low-to-mid-tier collectability and gritty visual style. While it may not be the flashiest skin available, its broad wear compatibility and StatTrak option make it a practical pick for everyday use and collection-building.
