M249 | Ветеран полётов

Origin Story

The M249 Warbird, released on November 19, 2019, as part of The Shattered Web Collection, features a design that suggests a history of heavy use. Its in-game description notes that the weapon, originally blue with a yellow heat shield, has been worn down by age and use. This visual narrative of wear and tear is central to the skin's appeal. The accompanying flavor text, "This old bird deserves a rest," further emphasizes its battle-hardened appearance.

Drop Chance

M249 | Warbird is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Shattered Web Case: approximately 11.42% per opening (roughly 1 in 9). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 7 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.14% from the Shattered Web Case (about 1 in 88). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0.05 to 0.65. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($9.12): The vibrant colors and detailed bird graphic are fully intact, showcasing the Gunsmith finish's dynamic lighting effects.
• Minimal Wear ($3.42): Minor abrasions may appear on the edges of the weapon, but the central design remains largely pristine.
• Field-Tested ($1.03): Noticeable wear begins to appear on prominent areas, with some dulling of the finish and visible scuffs.
• Well-Worn ($1.12): Significant wear and scratches are present across the weapon, diminishing the clarity of the graphic and color intensity.
• Battle-Scarred ($1.00): The M249 shows heavy signs of use, with extensive paint loss and severe scratching that heavily obscure the Warbird design.

Model

Warbird uses the legacy M249 model, introduced with Operation Shattered Web on November 19, 2019. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
