M249 | Deep Relief (Battle-Scarred)

The M249 | Deep Relief (Battle-Scarred) is a Mil-Spec Grade machine-gun skin whose sand top layer gives way to darker greens, worn to its most aged state. Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade of the design, trading surface condition for the lowest entry price.

Design

Deep Relief stacks a sand-colored surface over deeper green tones for a carved, sculpted texture with genuine depth, keeping its palette earthy and military-flavored rather than graphic. It's a community creation from VisHomin, complete with the flavor line "How many bullets to get to the center?"

M249 | Deep Relief (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Battle-Scarred is the top-worn grade, and Deep Relief runs the full 0.00–1.00 float range, so this grade can reach the heaviest wear the system allows. Extensive fading and paint loss cover the body here, dulling the sand layer and thinning the green beneath, but the layered surface still keeps the skin recognizable.

M249 | Deep Relief Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue tier, the most common of the standard weapon grades. That commonality is a big reason the finish stays so cheap and easy to find.

M249 | Deep Relief Case and Collection

Battle-Scarred copies are part of The Operation Broken Fang Collection, which came with Operation Broken Fang in December 2020 and drops from the Operation Broken Fang Case. As the Mil-Spec tier claims about 79.92% of pulls (a rate shared across the tier's skins), Deep Relief is one of the more common results.

M249 | Deep Relief Patterns

The finish is fixed, meaning the paint seed changes nothing — the sand-and-green layers are placed identically on every copy, and there's no blue-gem seed worth chasing. A copy's float and wear grade are all that set it apart from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ edition can be pulled from the Operation Broken Fang Case, adding a confirmed-kill counter that stays permanent and never gets wiped when the item is traded or sold. No Souvenir version exists — Souvenir weapons are produced solely through Major-tournament packages, and this finish has never appeared in one.

M249 | Deep Relief Price

Battle-Scarred is the most affordable grade of Deep Relief, the entry-level way to run the sculpted design for players who care about the look more than the float. On a finish that's already affordable, it's about as cheap as this M249 gets. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is the Battle-Scarred Deep Relief still recognizable?

Yes. Even with heavy fading dulling the sand and green at this grade, the layered surface keeps the skin readable in-game. Battle-Scarred is about accepting a worn look in exchange for the lowest price, not losing the sculpted design — a good fit if you want the earthy M249 for the least money.

Can Battle-Scarred Deep Relief reach maximum wear?

Yes. Unlike some finishes that are float-capped, Deep Relief runs the full 0.00–1.00 range, so Battle-Scarred copies can hit the heaviest wear the system produces. The most beaten examples show substantial fading across the sand-and-green layers, though the layered surface still identifies the skin.

Is there a StatTrak Battle-Scarred Deep Relief?

Yes. The StatTrak™ variant unboxes from the Operation Broken Fang Case and can roll into Battle-Scarred condition. It costs more than the standard skin and adds a permanent kill counter that never gets wiped, appealing to players who want frag tracking on a heavily worn, budget-priced M249. Souvenir versions, though, don't exist.
