M249 | Sleet

Origin Story

The M249 | Sleet, released on January 22, 2026, is part of The Achroma Collection, featuring an angular grayscale pattern. Its in-game description notes that "An angular grayscale pattern has been applied," giving the heavy machine gun a distinct, geometric appearance. The skin's flavor text, "Rich interiors suited for rough exteriors," hints at a blend of sophistication and rugged utility. As a Consumer Grade skin, the M249 | Sleet serves as a budget-friendly option for players seeking a clean, monochrome aesthetic for their loadout.

Drop Chance

M249 | Sleet is Consumer Grade, the most common drop tier in CS2. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Achroma Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Consumer Grade drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 7 other Consumer Grade skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.7. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($0.07): The angular grayscale pattern appears crisp, fully opaque, and high-contrast, with minimal or no visible scratches on the receiver and barrel housing.
• Minimal Wear ($0.03): The pattern remains sharp and mostly intact, with minor edge wear beginning on high-contact corners and potentially the front shroud.
• Field-Tested ($0.03): Noticeable chipping appears on edges and around the front of the weapon, with some base metal showing on the barrel and front shroud, causing the angular shapes to look interrupted.
• Well-Worn ($0.03): Heavy wear is present on most outer edges, with more underlying metal visible and the grayscale pattern appearing faded and fragmented along the top and sides of the receiver.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.03): The pattern is heavily degraded, showing large patches of exposed metal and significant fading across the body, often appearing as raw metal with remnants of the angular grayscale shapes.

Sticker Compatibility

The M249 | Sleet's angular grayscale pattern provides a neutral canvas for stickers. Black, white, gray, and silver stickers can create a minimalist look, while bright accent colors like neon blue, red, or orange will stand out sharply. Stickers placed on the receiver and mid-body of the M249 are generally the most visible in first-person views.
