M249 | Midnight Palm (Field-Tested)

The M249 | Midnight Palm (Field-Tested) is an Industrial Grade M249 finish with black palm fronds set over a gray and purple camo. Field-Tested is the most common, everyday way to own it — a little honest wear on a design dark enough to shrug most of it off.

Design

At its heart this is a study in shadow: black palm-frond silhouettes over a gray-and-purple camo base, a tropical theme after the lights go out. The finish is Valve-made and comes with a wry line printed in-game: "The sign says closed!"

M249 | Midnight Palm (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

On the finish's 0.00–0.50 float scale, Field-Tested occupies the middle band. Light scratching shows up along the edges and raised metal, yet the murky camo hides much of it, so a Field-Tested copy still looks respectable in-game. This is the grade most players end up with, and it delivers the design at a friendly price.

M249 | Midnight Palm Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade — that's the light-blue tier, a common grade planted near the bottom of the standard weapon hierarchy, just above Consumer. Common rarity is exactly why this finish stays easy on the wallet.

M249 | Midnight Palm Case and Collection

Midnight Palm sits inside The 2021 Dust 2 Collection, released with Operation Riptide in September 2021. It isn't tied to any weapon case, so copies reach players through collection drops and secondhand sales rather than unboxing — the market is where you'll find it.

M249 | Midnight Palm Patterns

Because the artwork is locked in place, the palm fronds and camo appear the same on every copy — no paint seed shifts the layout, and there's no blue-gem or rare-pattern lottery to play. Wear and float are all that set one Midnight Palm apart from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

You won't find a StatTrak Midnight Palm, since that tag only ships inside weapon cases and this finish was never boxed in one. A Souvenir version does exist, minted through Major-tournament souvenir packages beginning with the Stockholm 2021 Dust II package and continuing through later Majors. This listing is the standard finish.

M249 | Midnight Palm Price

Field-Tested sits in the middle of the range — cheaper than the two cleaner grades while keeping most of the look, thanks to a base that disguises wear. It's an affordable, mid-tier M249 skin at this grade. You can pick it up on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How worn does the Field-Tested Midnight Palm look?

Modestly. Expect light scratching on the edges and exposed metal, but the dark camo absorbs most of it, so the skin reads as tidy from playing distance. It shows more wear than the cleaner grades yet nowhere near the battering of Battle-Scarred, making it a solid middle ground.

Why is there no StatTrak Midnight Palm?

StatTrak weapons are created only through weapon cases at the moment of unboxing. Midnight Palm comes from a collection with no associated case, so the game never had a way to mint a StatTrak copy. A Souvenir version exists from Major packages, but no kill-counter variant was ever produced.

Is Field-Tested a good value on the Midnight Palm?

For most buyers, yes. It's clearly cheaper than Factory New and Minimal Wear but keeps nearly the same appearance because the murky base hides scuffs. If you want the design without paying for a top grade, Field-Tested is the practical pick, with lower grades cheaper still.
