M249 | Sleet (Factory New)

The M249 | Sleet (Factory New, FN) is a Consumer Grade M249 skin finished in an angular grayscale pattern. Factory New is the top grade in its range, showing the geometric artwork at its sharpest with no wear to soften the edges.

Design

Sleet wraps the M249 in an angular grayscale pattern — a cold, faceted design in shades of black, white, and gray with no color to warm it up. It carries an in-game line that plays on the contrast: "Rich interiors suited for rough exteriors."

M249 | Sleet (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 grayscale facets stay crisp and the angular edges read hard, with no scuffing across the body. For players who want the geometric look exactly as designed, Factory New is the grade to reach for.

M249 | Sleet Rarity

Rarity: Consumer Grade — the white tier, the base grade at the very bottom of the standard weapon ladder. It's the most common rarity in the game, which keeps this finish firmly in budget territory.

M249 | Sleet Case and Collection

Sleet is part of The Achroma Collection, introduced with The Fourth Season update in January 2026. There's no weapon case that drops it — copies enter the economy through collection drops and the market, so supply depends on what players list rather than a steady unboxing flow.

M249 | Sleet Patterns

The design is fixed: the angular grayscale pattern lands the same way on every copy, so the paint seed changes nothing and there's no blue-gem or rare-pattern index to hunt. Only wear and float separate one Sleet from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish has no StatTrak version — StatTrak is minted only through weapon cases, and Sleet comes from a collection that was never sold as a case, so no kill-counter copies exist. There's no Souvenir version either, since Souvenir weapons come solely from Major-tournament packages and this finish was never offered in one.

M249 | Sleet Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Sleet ladder as the highest available grade, a step above Minimal Wear (MW) — yet the finish is among the cheapest M249 skins around, so even its best grade stays budget-friendly. Available on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it over Minimal Wear on the Sleet?

Only if you want the top grade specifically. Factory New shows the angular facets at their hardest, but the grayscale palette hides light wear well, so Minimal Wear looks nearly identical for a touch less. Since the finish is cheap overall, the price gap between the two grades is small.

Does the Sleet have a StatTrak version?

No. StatTrak weapons are produced only inside weapon cases, and Sleet belongs to a collection that was never sold as a case. With no case to mint from, no StatTrak copies were ever created — the finish exists purely in its standard, non-StatTrak form.

Which gloves suit the Sleet?

Its monochrome grayscale look is easy to pair — black, white, or gray gloves keep the cold, minimalist feel intact, while a subtly patterned neutral pair adds texture without breaking the palette. Steer clear of bright colors, which would clash with the finish's deliberately colorless, geometric design.
