Souvenir M249 | Spectrogram (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This finish combines a green and blue halftone body with a magazine striped like a spectrogram readout. In Well-Worn the bare metal shows through on many edges, and the dark receiver takes on a more used, utilitarian look. The magazine colours still stand out, so the skin remains recognisable in hand.

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

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

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The receiver and the top cover are painted in a dark green-grey with a faint halftone tint that shifts towards blue and green in the light. The box magazine carries the main motif: fine horizontal streaks in lilac, pink and teal that resemble a spectrogram.

Chips spread from the edges onto the raised details of the receiver and along the top of the weapon. The magazine shows worn corners and scratched stripes, and the end of the stock loses paint. The halftone tint on the receiver becomes harder to see as the dark metal shows through. The middle of the magazine is the area that stays most intact.

Well-Worn quality — float range 0.38–0.45

The float of Souvenir M249 | Spectrogram ranges from 0 to 0.5; the Well-Worn quality covers 0.38–0.45 — 14% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

The skin’s collection is The Graphic Design Collection with 16 skins in total. 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.

Stickers and crafts

Stickers in lilac, teal, soft pink or holographic tones echo the magazine stripes and suit this finish. Placements on the receiver side work well because the dark background lets lighter stickers stand out without covering the magazine motif.

What to check before buying

• Look at the float position within the wear grade, since copies near the cleaner end keep the magazine stripes more intact.
• Inspect the corners of the magazine and the sights, as these show wear first on this finish.
• Check whether the copy is a Souvenir, because its applied stickers change the overall look.
• Note any stickers or name tag already applied and whether they fit the colour scheme.

Who the Well-Worn quality suits

• Budget buyers who want the striped magazine at a lower cost.
• Players who prefer a worn, utilitarian look on a machinegun.
• Conclusion: a cheap entry with the main motif still visible.
