M249 | Jungle DDPAT (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This is the M249 in a jungle-toned DDPAT hydrographic, where small squares of green and yellow break up the outline of the heavy gun. At Minimal Wear the camouflage still looks complete from the player's view. Any marks are limited to fine specks on the sharpest edges.

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, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

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.

Tiny specks of bare metal may appear on the sharpest edges of the magazine box and top cover. The pattern on the receiver and handguard remains complete. At normal viewing distance the skin is hard to tell apart from Factory New. The colours stay as bright as on cleaner copies.

Which stickers suit it

What to check before buying

• Look at the corners of the box magazine and the top cover, because they lose paint first.
• Compare float within the grade, as the skin's range starts inside Factory New and ends before the maximum.
• Check whether the copy is a Souvenir version, since both variants are listed for this skin.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag, as they change how the camouflage reads.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Sticker crafters who accept tiny marks on the edges.
