M249 | Emerald Poison Dart (Field-Tested)

The M249 | Emerald Poison Dart (Field-Tested, FT) is a Restricted machine-gun skin covered in a green hydrographic inspired by a poison dart frog. Field-Tested is the most common way to own it, adding a bit of honest wear to the vivid pattern at a friendlier price.

Design

Emerald Poison Dart lays a poison dart frog hydrographic over the M249, drenching it in rich greens with the mottled, organic texture of the amphibian behind the name. It's a bold, nature-themed finish built on color rather than technical detailing. It's a community design from PTP, complete with the line "Conservation is not a priority."

M249 | Emerald Poison Dart (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Within the finish's 0.00–0.45 float range, Field-Tested lands in the middle. Light scratching and fading appear at this grade, but the deep green hydrographic stays easy to read and keeps its character. For a vivid green M249 at a moderate price, this is the grade most players choose.

M249 | Emerald Poison Dart Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the pink tier, sitting above the common grades and counted as an uncommon pull whenever you open a case.

M249 | Emerald Poison Dart Case and Collection

Field-Tested copies come from The Spectrum Collection, which launched in March 2017, dropping from the Spectrum Case. The Restricted tier unboxes around 15.98% of the time from that case (the odds are shared across the tier), so a given finish lands less often than the tier-wide rate implies.

M249 | Emerald Poison Dart Patterns

The finish is fixed, so paint seed doesn't factor in — the hydrographic sits identically on every copy, and there's no blue-gem roll to seek out. Wear grade and float are the sole variables that tell one copy apart from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

You can also find a StatTrak™ Emerald Poison Dart from the Spectrum Case, which adds a confirmed-kill counter; that counter is permanent and never gets wiped when the skin is traded or sold. A Souvenir edition doesn't exist here, because Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages and this finish was never part of one.

M249 | Emerald Poison Dart Price

Field-Tested is the more accessible grade of the finish, cheaper than the top two while keeping the vivid look intact — though the skin stays premium for the M249 thanks to its striking pattern. It's the value entry point here. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the Field-Tested Emerald Poison Dart look worn?

Only mildly. Some scratching and light fading show up at this grade, but the deep green hydrographic keeps its saturation and stays easy to read, so the skin holds its amphibian look in-game. It's a good balance of appearance and price, which is why Field-Tested is the go-to grade.

Is Field-Tested the best value Emerald Poison Dart?

For many buyers, yes. It's the most common grade and cheaper than the top two while keeping the vivid green readable. Well-Worn (WW) costs less again if you want a lower price and don't mind more visible fading on the frog-inspired pattern, since this finish doesn't run past that grade.

Where does Emerald Poison Dart come from?

It's part of The Spectrum Collection, added in March 2017, and it drops from the Spectrum Case. As a Restricted finish it pulls at about 15.98% from that case as part of the tier's shared rate, so it's a step rarer than common skins while sitting at a premium price for the M249.
