Souvenir M249 | Blizzard Marbleized (Factory New)

Skin overview

M249 | Blizzard Marbleized covers the light machine gun in a cold marble pattern of white, pale mint and grey with scattered dark specks. In Factory New the hydrographic print is complete on every part, so the icy pattern stays crisp from the muzzle to the box magazine. The wooden stock gives a warm counterpoint to the pale finish.

Item type: machinegun. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

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

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver and feed cover carry a dense marble print of white, pale mint and light grey, broken up by small dark grey and black specks. The box magazine shows a slightly greener, minty tone with larger white spots, so it stands out as the lightest block on the gun.

The marble print is intact on the receiver, barrel area, feed cover and magazine. Edges and the carry handle keep their full pattern without visible scratches. In game the gun reads as a clean, bright icy block in the first-person view. The Factory New range for this skin is very narrow, so these copies are the hardest grade to find.

Factory New wear: float 0.06–0.07

The float of Souvenir M249 | Blizzard Marbleized ranges from 0.06 to 0.8; the Factory New quality covers 0.06–0.07 — 1% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

Souvenir M249 | Blizzard Marbleized belongs to The Office Collection, which holds 6 skins. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Which stickers suit it

White, silver, ice-blue and pale green stickers continue the frosty palette of the marble. Holo or foil stickers in cold tones work well on the receiver side, while a single dark sticker can echo the black specks without breaking the winter look.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float position within the wear range, especially for Field-Tested and Well-Worn where the gap between a low and high float is visible.
• Check the muzzle, carry handle and magazine corners, since these spots lose the print first.
• For Souvenir copies, check which stickers are applied and whether they suit the pale finish.
• Pay attention to any name tag and existing stickers, as they change the look of the light marble surfaces.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the cleanest and rarest grade of this finish.
• Sticker crafters who need an untouched pale base for cold-toned stickers.
• The choice for those who value a perfect print over saving money.
