M249 | Deep Relief

Origin Story

The M249 Deep Relief was released on December 3, 2020, as part of The Operation Broken Fang Collection. Its custom paint job features a sand-colored top layer that transitions into darker greens, creating a sense of depth. The in-game description, "A sand-colored top layer gives way to darker greens the deeper you go. This is a custom paint job you can feel," emphasizes this tactile visual effect. The flavor text, "How many bullets to get to the center?" further plays on the layered appearance of the design.

Drop Chance

M249 | Deep Relief is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Operation Broken Fang Case: approximately 11.42% per opening (roughly 1 in 9). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 7 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.14% from the Operation Broken Fang Case (about 1 in 88). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($5.59): The intricate, scale-like pattern and deep blue-green hues are pristine across the entire weapon.
• Minimal Wear ($1.65): Minor abrasions become visible on the edges of the weapon, but the overall pattern integrity remains high.
• Field-Tested ($2.88): Noticeable wear appears on prominent edges and raised areas, slightly dulling the deep relief effect.
• Well-Worn ($0.98): Significant wear and scuffing are present, causing the pattern to lose some of its distinctness and color vibrancy.
• Battle-Scarred ($1.17): Heavy paint degradation and scratching obscure much of the detailed pattern, making the weapon appear heavily used.

Model
