StatTrak™ M249 | Hypnosis (Well-Worn)

What the StatTrak™ counter does

The StatTrak™ M249 | Hypnosis (Well-Worn, WW) is the StatTrak™ copy of this skin — the same Mil-Spec Grade finish, the same look, with a kill counter built into the model. At its core this finish is a swirling black and blue pattern sprayed across the gun, high-contrast lines designed to mesmerize the eye. Well-Worn runs 0.38–0.45 on the float scale and shows its age plainly across the finish, which is what keeps it affordable.

What StatTrak™ changes about the price of the M249 | Hypnosis

What the counter tracks is confirmed kills, shown as a running total on the model itself. It is tied to the item, not to the owner, so the number follows the skin from inventory to inventory and only ever goes up. A StatTrak™ Swap Tool moves a count between two StatTrak™ items of the same type, which is as close to a reset as the game allows.

Where a StatTrak™ copy comes from

The StatTrak™ premium comes from scarcity: far fewer copies exist at the same finish and exterior. It is the finish and the float that set the figure, though — the kill count on a given copy barely moves it either way.

FAQ

Part of The Gallery Collection from the October 2024 Armory update, this finish drops from the Gallery Case, where its Mil-Spec tier fills roughly 79.9% of the pool. StatTrak™ is settled at the drop: a copy either leaves the case with a counter or never has one, and it cannot be added afterwards.

Can the StatTrak counter on the M249 | Hypnosis be reset?

No. The count only moves one way and stays with the item through every trade and sale. A StatTrak™ Swap Tool moves a count between two StatTrak™ items of the same type, which is as close to a reset as the game allows. It still cannot lower the number.

Does StatTrak change how the M249 | Hypnosis looks?

No, apart from the counter on the model. The finish, the pattern and the float range are identical to the plain version, so at the same exterior the two look the same in hand.
