M249 | Submerged (Factory New)

The M249 | Submerged (Factory New) is a Consumer Grade machine-gun skin painted in teal-colored desert camouflage. Factory New is the top grade, showing the camo pattern at its crispest and the teal at full strength before any wear sets in.

Design

Submerged takes a desert-camouflage layout and recolors it in cool teal, swapping the usual sandy tones for a watery blue-green scheme across the body. It's a community design by the artist dC, and it carries the in-game line: "WE'VE BEEN SET UP! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!"

M249 | Submerged (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish runs a float range of 0.02–0.80, and Factory New sits at the bottom of that scale. Here the teal camo stays sharp and vivid with no scuffing across the panels. For the pattern at its most legible, this is the grade to reach for.

M249 | Submerged Rarity

Rarity: Consumer Grade — the white tier, the lowest of the standard weapon grades. It's the most basic rarity, which keeps the finish cheap and simple to pick up.

M249 | Submerged Case and Collection

Submerged is part of The Anubis Collection, which arrived in April 2023. It isn't tied to a weapon case — the regular finish is obtained as a collection drop rather than by unboxing, so supply flows through the drop pool and the market.

M249 | Submerged Patterns

This is a fixed-design finish — the paint seed doesn't shift the teal camo, so every copy carries the pattern the same way. There's no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to hunt; wear and float are the only variables separating one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak version of Submerged — StatTrak is minted inside weapon cases, and this collection-drop finish never went into one. It does exist as both a regular and a Souvenir finish, though: Souvenir copies debuted in the Paris 2023 Anubis Souvenir Package and later turned up in further Major souvenir packages, each handed out at a different Major tournament.

M249 | Submerged Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Submerged price ladder as the highest grade, a step above Minimal Wear — though as an affordable Consumer-grade M249, even its best condition stays cheap. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it on the Submerged?

If you want the teal camo at its sharpest, yes. Factory New keeps the pattern crisp with no surface scuffing, and it's the highest grade the finish reaches. Since the whole skin sits in affordable territory, the small step up from Minimal Wear costs little for the best condition on the shelf.

Does the M249 Submerged have a Souvenir version?

Yes. Alongside the regular finish, a Souvenir Submerged exists — it first appeared in the Paris 2023 Anubis Souvenir Package and returned in later Major souvenir packages, each tied to a different Major tournament. Souvenir copies carry event stickers and are generally scarcer than the plain finish you'd buy off the market.

Which gloves go with the Submerged?

The teal camo pairs well with cool-toned gloves — teal, blue, or muted green wraps echo the color, while a neutral gray or olive pair keeps the military feel without clashing. Warm reds and oranges fight the palette, so lean cool to reinforce the watery blue-green scheme.
