Souvenir M249 | Downtown (Factory New)

Skin overview

M249 | Downtown covers the machine gun's receiver, handguard and box magazine in graffiti-style blue arrows with pink outlines, set against a dark metal barrel and a plain stock. In Factory New the arrows keep their sharp edges and the pink lines stay unbroken, so the tag looks freshly sprayed. This is the grade for buyers who want the artwork exactly as designed.

Item type: machinegun. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

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

Other 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, handguard and the large box magazine are covered in overlapping blue arrows with bright pink outlines, dark navy contour lines and small white highlights. Purple tones appear around the front of the handguard and the sight area, blending into the blue.

The paint is intact on every part, including the corners of the magazine box and the top edge of the receiver. Pink outlines are continuous and the white highlights stay crisp. In game the colours look clean and saturated from any distance, and the plain stock and barrel look neat.

Factory New wear: float 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir M249 | Downtown is 0–0.65; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (11% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

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

Stickers in blue, pink, purple or holographic finishes sit naturally on the graffiti artwork. Graffiti-style or neon designs on the receiver and magazine box continue the street-art theme, while dark or black stickers stand out well against the bright panels.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, because the corners of the magazine box show the difference first.
• Inspect the top edge of the receiver and the front sight area for chipped paint on mid and lower grades.
• Look at applied stickers and the name tag, since they can make a copy more or less suitable for your craft.
• Decide between StatTrak™ and Souvenir versions before comparing offers, as both exist for this skin.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the graffiti with unbroken pink outlines.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean background on the receiver and magazine.
• The choice for those who want the artwork exactly as designed.
