M249 | Emerald Poison Dart (Factory New)

The M249 | Emerald Poison Dart (Factory New) is a Restricted machine-gun skin wrapped in a green hydrographic inspired by a poison dart frog. Factory New is the top grade, showing that vivid amphibian pattern at its most saturated.

Design

Emerald Poison Dart applies a hydrographic drawn from the markings of a poison dart frog, splashing the M249 in rich greens with the organic, mottled feel of the real creature. It's a bold, nature-themed look rather than a technical graphic. The finish is a community design by PTP, and it carries the cheeky in-game line "Conservation is not a priority."

M249 | Emerald Poison Dart (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish spans float 0.00–0.45, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of that range. At this grade the green hydrographic stays deeply saturated and the frog-like mottling reads clearly, with no scuffing over the top. For the amphibian pattern at its richest, Factory New is the grade to seek out.

M249 | Emerald Poison Dart Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the pink tier, a clear step above the common grades and genuinely uncommon to pull straight from a case.

M249 | Emerald Poison Dart Case and Collection

Emerald Poison Dart belongs to The Spectrum Collection and unboxes from the Spectrum Case, which launched in March 2017. The Restricted tier as a whole drops at roughly 15.98% from that case (a rate shared across the tier's skins), so any individual finish is a fair bit rarer than the headline number implies.

M249 | Emerald Poison Dart Patterns

This is a fixed design — the paint seed doesn't rearrange the hydrographic, so every copy shows the same green frog-inspired pattern. There's no blue-gem seed or "best pattern" to track down here; float and wear grade are the only things that separate one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version exists, unboxed from the same Spectrum Case, and it adds a confirmed-kill counter that is permanent — it never gets wiped when the item changes hands. There's no Souvenir edition, since Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages and this finish was never offered in one.

M249 | Emerald Poison Dart Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Emerald Poison Dart ladder as the least-worn grade, and the finish sits in premium territory for the M249 thanks to its vivid look and case roots. It's the priciest way to own the design. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is the Factory New Emerald Poison Dart worth it?

If you want the green frog-inspired hydrographic at its most saturated, yes. Factory New shows the pattern with no wear over the top, which is what most buyers pay the premium for. Those focused on value can drop to the mid grades, where the vivid green still reads well for noticeably less.

Which gloves go with the Emerald Poison Dart?

The rich green palette suits a nature-themed loadout, so green or olive gloves tie the amphibian look together nicely. A pair with organic or camo-style detailing echoes the frog motif, while darker forest-green wraps deepen the theme without competing with the finish's bright, saturated tones.

Does the paint seed change the Emerald Poison Dart?

No. It's a fixed finish, so the pattern index doesn't rearrange the hydrographic — every copy carries the same green frog-inspired design. There's no rare seed or blue-gem variant to seek out, which means a copy's float and wear grade are the only factors that separate its value from another.
