M249 | Bock Blocks

Origin Story

The M249 | Bock Blocks, released on March 11, 2026, as part of The Dead Hand Collection, features a purple graphic geometric design. Its in-game flavor text, "Stack 'em," hints at the block-like visual elements. This custom-painted skin offers a distinct aesthetic for the M249, focusing on bold shapes and a vibrant color palette.

Drop Chance

M249 | Bock Blocks is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Sealed Dead Hand Terminal: 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. 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 not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($1.43): The purple base and geometric design are fully opaque and crisp across the M249's receiver and feed cover, showing maximum paint integrity.
• Minimal Wear ($0.29): Minor edge wear begins to appear on high-contact areas like the front of the barrel shroud, but the purple and geometric lines remain largely intact.
• Field-Tested ($0.15): Noticeable chipping becomes visible along the M249's edges and corners, with small patches of base material showing through the purple design.
• Well-Worn ($0.12): Heavy edge wear and moderate surface wear are present, causing the purple to appear duller and the geometric pattern to look visibly patchy in places.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.10): Extensive paint loss exposes large regions of the underlying metal, with the purple and geometric elements appearing substantially fragmented across the weapon's body.
