M249 | Spectrogram

M249 | Spectrogram is a Industrial Grade item from the The Graphic Design Collection.

The M249 at $5,200 with its 100-round magazine is the most expensive non-sniper weapon in CS2. It's almost never purchased in competitive play — buying an M249 is either a flex on a dominant economy or a meme.

As a Industrial Grade item, M249 | Spectrogram has a 13.2283% chance per opening (1 in 8). Rarity in CS2 directly affects both supply and price. Higher-rarity skins drop less often, which keeps their market value elevated relative to common drops from the same case.

Prices shown are sourced from Steam Community Market and CSFloat, updated every 6 hours. Additional data from Skinport, Buff163, and YouPin. The Steam Community Market charges 15% total fees (5% Steam fee + 10% CS2 game fee), while third-party sites offer lower rates — CSFloat at 2%, Buff163 at 2.5%, and Skinport around 8% — with real-money cashout options. Beyond wear and float, the pattern index (seed 1–999) also affects price for certain finishes like Case Hardened and Fade, where specific patterns can multiply value many times over.
