The MP9 | Starlight Protector is a Covert-tier SMG finish in Counter-Strike 2, originally introduced as part of The Dreams & Nightmares Collection when the Dreams & Nightmares Case launched in November 2021.

The float range for this finish is restricted to 0.00–0.80, so Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred are the only obtainable conditions on the open market. The restricted range is set by Valve at the time of release.

Both StatTrak™ and Souvenir variants exist — the StatTrak™ counter tracks confirmed kills, while Souvenir copies drop only from cases collected during Major Championship matches. Active listings for MP9 | Starlight Protector are tracked across 16 marketplaces, with prices spanning $54.89 to $1,513 depending on wear, variant, and seller.
