M249 | Jungle DDPAT (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

The Battle-Scarred M249 | Jungle DDPAT turns the digital camouflage into a patchy mix of faded green pixels and exposed metal. The pattern remains on flatter areas, while the edges and the box magazine are heavily stripped. Since the float range stops short of the maximum, the most damaged look is not possible on this skin.

Item type: machinegun. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver, top cover and handguard are covered in a digital camouflage of yellow-green, olive, light green and dark green square pixels. The same pattern wraps the box magazine, where its large flat sides show the pixel blocks most clearly.

Large areas of the magazine box and top cover are stripped to grey metal. The receiver shows the pattern in broken patches, with faded colours between them. Fragments of camouflage hold on the flatter parts of the handguard and magazine. In game the skin looks heavily used, though the green tone remains recognisable.
