Souvenir M249 | Emerald Poison Dart (Factory New)

Skin overview

M249 | Emerald Poison Dart covers the machine gun in deep emerald green with dark circular cells and pale yellow stripes, a pattern taken from a poison dart frog. In Factory New the contrast between the green, black and yellow is at its sharpest, and the small yellow speckles stay crisp across the handguard and box magazine. 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.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The receiver and handguard are painted emerald green with rows of dark circular cells and scattered yellow speckles, while pale yellow stripes curve across the top of the receiver. The box magazine carries the boldest part of the design: a dense grid of black spots on green on one side and wide cream-yellow bands on the other.

The paint is intact on every part, including the corners of the box magazine and the edges of the stock. The yellow speckles and the borders of the black cells are sharp. In game the green looks saturated and the stripes stand out clearly against it. Nothing on the weapon shows bare metal.

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 green, yellow, gold or black blend with the frog pattern without breaking it. The dark barrel area and the receiver above the handguard are good spots for contrasting stickers, while the striped box magazine is best left open.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in Field-Tested can look close to Minimal Wear.
• Inspect the edges of the box magazine and the receiver rails, as these lose paint first.
• Look at any applied stickers and how they sit against the yellow stripes and black cells.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ or Souvenir, as both versions exist for this skin.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the sharpest version of the frog pattern.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for a green and gold theme.
• Conclusion: the choice when the look matters more than the cost.
