M249 | O.S.I.P.R. (Factory New)

The M249 | O.S.I.P.R. (Factory New) is a Mil-Spec Grade M249 skin — a gunmetal gray finish stamped with a Combine logo, a nod to Half-Life's Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle. Factory New is the top grade in its range, showing the metalwork and insignia at their most defined.

Design

O.S.I.P.R. keeps things military-industrial: a gunmetal gray body carrying the Combine emblem, riffing on the Half-Life pulse rifle it's named after. The finish is a community design by Kai, and it wears a lore-perfect line — "Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle."

M249 | O.S.I.P.R. (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish runs a float range of 0.00–0.70, and Factory New anchors the clean end. Here the gunmetal surface stays even and the Combine logo reads sharp, with no scratching to disturb it. For players who want the pulse-rifle homage as tidy as it comes, Factory New is the grade to grab.

M249 | O.S.I.P.R. Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue tier, the entry rung of the paintable weapon grades above the base white and gray. It's a common grade, which is a big reason this finish stays so affordable.

M249 | O.S.I.P.R. Case and Collection

O.S.I.P.R. is part of The Snakebite Collection and drops from the Snakebite Case, released at the end of Operation Broken Fang in May 2021. The Mil-Spec tier makes up the bulk of the case's drops at roughly 79.92% (a rate shared across the tier's skins), so copies are plentiful and cheap to pick up.

M249 | O.S.I.P.R. Patterns

The design is fixed — the gunmetal finish and Combine logo sit the same way on every copy, so the paint seed changes nothing and there's no blue-gem or rare-pattern roll to chase. Wear and float are the only variables between one copy and the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak M249 | O.S.I.P.R. exists and adds a confirmed-kill counter; it's a rarer, pricier drop from the Snakebite Case than the standard skin, and that counter is permanent — it never gets wiped, carrying over through trades and sales. There's no Souvenir version, as Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages and the Snakebite Case was never a Major drop.

M249 | O.S.I.P.R. Price

Factory New sits at the top of the O.S.I.P.R. ladder as the highest available grade, a step above Minimal Wear — yet the finish is budget-friendly across the board, so even its best grade stays easy on the wallet. It's available on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it over Minimal Wear on the O.S.I.P.R.?

Only if you want the top grade specifically. Factory New shows the gunmetal surface at its most even, but the gray finish hides light wear so well that Minimal Wear looks almost the same for a little less. Since the whole finish is inexpensive, the gap is small either way.

What does O.S.I.P.R. stand for?

It's a Half-Life reference: Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle, the weapon carried by the Combine's Overwatch soldiers. The finish leans into that with a gunmetal gray body and a Combine logo, and the in-game description spells the name out in full as a nod to fans of the series.

Which gloves pair with the O.S.I.P.R.?

Its gunmetal gray, industrial palette suits a muted, tactical loadout — gray, black, or olive gloves keep the military look consistent. If you want a subtle accent, a pair with a hint of orange picks up the Combine's sci-fi coloring without clashing with the finish's restrained tone.
