Souvenir M249 | Bock Blocks (Factory New)

Skin overview

M249 | Bock Blocks covers the machinegun in a dense geometric graphic of pink, lilac and dark purple blocks, circles and checkerboard panels. In Factory New every edge of the shapes is crisp, and the contrast between the bright pink and the dark outlines is at its strongest. This is the grade for buyers who want the pattern exactly as it was painted.

Item type: machinegun. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Factory New

The receiver is covered in pink and lilac blocks with dark circles, stripes and rows of dots, while the barrel and small hardware stay dark gunmetal. The box magazine carries the most striking part of the design: a purple and pink checkerboard with a large concentric target on its side.

The paint is intact on every part of the weapon, from the barrel to the stock. The checkerboard on the magazine box and the target circle have sharp borders. In game the pink and purple look saturated and even. Nothing on the receiver or the stock shows any marks.

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.

Stickers and crafts

Pink, purple, black and holographic stickers blend with the palette, while simple geometric or pastel designs keep the block theme intact. The flat side of the receiver above the magazine is the most visible spot for placement.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies at the clean end look noticeably better.
• Inspect the corners of the magazine box, as the checkerboard and target lose paint there first.
• Look at the top of the receiver and the end of the stock for grey metal showing through the pink.
• Check for applied stickers or a name tag, which can change how the weapon looks in inspect.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the geometric pattern with perfectly sharp edges.
• Players planning a sticker craft on a clean, saturated base.
• The choice for those who want the design without compromise.
