P250 | Sand Dune

Origin Story

The P250 | Sand Dune was released on November 27, 2013, as part of the "Out with the old, in with the new" update and is included in The Dust 2 Collection. This pistol features a solid color application, spray-painted in a sand dune color scheme across its individual parts. Its design is characterized by a uniform sand-beige and tan palette, aligning with the desert aesthetic of the Dust 2 map. The P250 | Sand Dune is widely regarded as a basic, budget-friendly skin within the CS2 community.

Drop Chance

P250 | Sand Dune is Consumer Grade, the most common drop tier in CS2. It has appeared across 11 tournament packages, most recently the Katowice 2019 Dust II Souvenir Package, London 2018 Dust II Souvenir Package, and MLG Columbus 2016 Dust II Souvenir Package.


Souvenir Packages are awarded to viewers watching live Major matches on the corresponding map, not opened from cases, so Valve doesn't publish per-skin drop odds. Each package contains one item from The Dust 2 Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Consumer Grade skins like Sand Dune are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 5 other Consumer Grade skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. New copies only enter the market when a recipient chooses to open their package, so supply trickles in over time even after the tournament ends.

Skin Condition

Float range 0.06 to 0.8. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Minimal Wear ($0.07): Subtle edge scuffing may appear on the front slide edges and around the trigger guard, but the pistol retains its overall uniform sand look.
• Field-Tested ($0.04): Noticeable wear appears along the edges and contact points, with some darker metal showing through on the front of the slide and frame.
• Well-Worn ($0.04): Chipping and exposed metal become more prominent on the slide, edges, and grip, causing the solid beige paint to lose uniformity.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.09): Significant paint loss is evident on high-contact areas, with large parts of the slide and frame showing darkened, exposed metal.
