M249 | Midnight Palm

M249 | Midnight Palm is a CS2 heavy machine gun skin with black palm silhouettes layered over gray and dusty purple camouflage. Its subdued palette suits players who prefer dense patterns without bright colors. The Spray-Paint finish is available in every exterior from Factory New to Battle-Scarred. Buyers can choose standard or Souvenir copies, but there is no StatTrak™ version.

Description

M249 | Midnight Palm gives the CS2 machine gun a muted tropical camouflage design rather than a vivid decorative finish. The M249 combines high ammunition capacity with a slower fire rate and an accuracy-focused role in open areas. Black fronds stretch across the painted surfaces, giving the weapon a consistent visual theme from receiver to stock. Its broad box magazine provides a particularly clear view of the overlapping leaves. The gray-and-purple palette suits restrained loadouts where the heavy weapon should blend in rather than become the centerpiece. Standard and Souvenir versions offer different collecting options while retaining the same underlying finish. Buyers can compare exterior labels and exact float values to select their preferred condition. Collection identity and version are also useful checks when deciding which listing fits a playing inventory or collection.

History and Origin

M249 | Midnight Palm was released in CS:GO on September 21, 2021. It arrived with the Operation Riptide update alongside the Dust 2 collection introduced that year. Valve created the skin, rather than a community designer. Its collection is officially named The 2021 Dust 2 Collection. Souvenir editions are available through 6 packages associated with Dust II. These include the Stockholm 2021 Dust II Souvenir Package and the Antwerp 2022 Dust II Souvenir Package. The standard finish can also be a random result when eligible Consumer Grade skins from its collection enter a trade-up contract. Today, buyers can obtain existing copies through marketplace purchases or player trades, separately from opening a package or completing a contract.

Finish Style

Midnight Palm uses a Spray-Paint finish built around camouflage and overlapping plant shapes. Muted gray and dusty purple cover the receiver, barrel, box magazine and stock. Black palm fronds sit over that base, with long stems supporting narrow leaves across the painted parts. The broad magazine faces make the silhouettes especially easy to distinguish. The stock also carries a clear section of the frond pattern, extending the theme beyond the central body. The muzzle, sights and smaller mechanical fittings remain mostly dark gray in appearance. Dark camouflage patches and black leaves sit close together tonally, keeping the overall contrast restrained. The result is densely patterned but subdued, with the purple acting as a muted accent rather than a bright highlight.

Float Value

M249 | Midnight Palm has a float range of 0.00 to 0.50. Its available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred, so none of the usual exterior categories is missing. Standard and Souvenir versions exist; version and cosmetic condition should therefore be checked separately.

Rarity and Popularity

M249 | Midnight Palm is an Industrial Grade skin in The 2021 Dust 2 Collection. Its stated collection acquisition chance is 4.0%, approximately 1 in 25, which is separate from any investment assessment. FalleN, TaZ and tarik are among its known professional owners, although ownership alone does not establish broad market demand.

Why it’s Popular:

• Muted gray and purple suit understated loadouts

• Black palm silhouettes give the machine gun a distinctive theme

• All exterior categories offer condition choices

• Souvenir editions provide an additional collecting option

Price Range

The live M249 | Midnight Palm price range is $0.53 to $14.00. These bounds cover the whole skin, not a particular exterior or version. Its market pricing places it in a low-cost category, but individual listing details still matter. Compare the exterior, exact float and standard or Souvenir designation rather than treating every copy as interchangeable. When checking the CS2 skin price, review the item image alongside those details before choosing a listing to buy.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open a Souvenir Package

Open a compatible Dust II Souvenir Package for a chance to obtain a Souvenir copy. Supported examples include the Stockholm 2021 Dust II Souvenir Package and the Antwerp 2022 Dust II Souvenir Package. Opening a package does not let the buyer select Midnight Palm as the result.

3. Trade Up Contracts

A trade-up contract can exchange 10 Consumer Grade skins from The 2021 Dust 2 Collection for 1 Industrial Grade skin from that collection. Midnight Palm is a possible result, but the outcome is random among the collection's Industrial Grade skins. This route therefore differs from buying the exact skin directly.

4. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy an existing copy on the Steam Community Market when a suitable listing is available. Check whether it is standard or Souvenir, then compare its exterior and float against the desired condition. A direct purchase avoids the random result of a package opening or trade-up.

5. Trade with Other Players

M249 | Midnight Palm can also be acquired through a trade with another player. Confirm the offered item's exterior, float and version before accepting, especially when a Souvenir copy is intended. Compare the proposed exchange with current listings rather than relying only on the skin name.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Standard and Souvenir copies appear in market listings, making version checks important for any buy, sell or trade decision. Professional ownership offers visibility, but it does not establish sustained demand or how quickly a listing will sell. Compare like-for-like exteriors and floats, and avoid assuming that the collection's release date proves restricted future supply.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Recognizable palm pattern with a restrained color palette

• Defined identity within The 2021 Dust 2 Collection

• Souvenir versions add collecting options

• Known ownership by professional players

The editorial investment rating is medium-to-poor: low entry pricing and professional ownership support interest, but neither establishes a strong resale opportunity. Its collection identity and Souvenir options offer reasons to collect it, without proving scarcity or price growth. The main risk is uncertain sustained demand, so an inexpensive purchase should not be treated as a likely profitable investment.
