M249 | Emerald Poison Dart (Well-Worn)

The M249 | Emerald Poison Dart (Well-Worn) is a Restricted machine-gun skin finished in a green poison dart frog hydrographic, shown here in its most aged state. Well-Worn is the cheapest grade this finish reaches, trading surface condition for the lowest entry price.

Design

The look is a poison dart frog hydrographic wrapping the M249 in rich greens, carrying the mottled, organic texture of the amphibian it's modeled on — a nature-driven finish with plenty of color. PTP created this community design, which comes with the flavor line "Conservation is not a priority."

M249 | Emerald Poison Dart (Well-Worn) Float and Wear

Well-Worn is the top-worn grade of this finish, since the skin is float-capped at 0.45 rather than the full 1.0 — there's no Battle-Scarred, and even at its roughest it never reaches the extreme end of the wear scale. Clear fading and paint loss show across the body here, dulling some of the green, but the hydrographic stays identifiable and the amphibian theme holds.

M249 | Emerald Poison Dart Rarity

Rarity: Restricted, the pink tier — a grade above the common bands. It's an uncommon result to pull from a case, which is part of the finish's appeal.

M249 | Emerald Poison Dart Case and Collection

Well-Worn examples are drawn from The Spectrum Collection and unbox via the Spectrum Case, which went live in March 2017. The Restricted tier's drop rate from that case is about 15.98% (shared across every skin in the tier), so any single finish arrives less frequently than the tier figure hints.

M249 | Emerald Poison Dart Patterns

Since this is a fixed-pattern finish, the paint seed changes nothing about its appearance — the hydrographic is painted the same on each copy, with no blue-gem variant to seek out. Copies differ only in how worn they are and their float number.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ Emerald Poison Dart is available from the Spectrum Case and attaches a kill counter to the weapon; that tally is permanent and never gets wiped through trading or selling. There's no Souvenir form of this skin, as Souvenir weapons come exclusively from Major-tournament packages and this finish was never included in any.

M249 | Emerald Poison Dart Price

Well-Worn sits at the bottom of this finish's ladder — the cheapest grade available, since the skin doesn't run to Battle-Scarred. Even so, its vivid pattern keeps it premium for the M249. It's the most affordable way into the design. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How worn does the Well-Worn Emerald Poison Dart look?

Fairly worn, with visible fading and paint loss across the body that dulls some of the green. Because the finish is float-capped at 0.45, though, it never reaches the heaviest wear a full-range skin would, so the hydrographic stays identifiable and the amphibian theme reads clearly in-game rather than looking destroyed.

Why is there no Battle-Scarred Emerald Poison Dart?

Because the finish is float-capped at 0.45, well below the roughly 0.45-to-1.0 window Battle-Scarred needs. The game never rolls a copy worn enough to qualify, so Well-Worn is the most aged grade this skin comes in — and thanks to the cap, even those copies stay milder than a fully uncapped finish would.

Does Emerald Poison Dart come in StatTrak?

Yes. A StatTrak™ version unboxes from the Spectrum Case and can appear at Well-Worn. It costs more than the standard finish and adds a permanent kill counter that never gets wiped, so it suits players who want frag tracking on a budget-friendly, weathered copy of this green M249. Souvenir, however, was never produced.
