M249 | Hypnosis

M249 | Hypnosis released October 2, 2024 as part of the Gallery Case.

It's a Counter-Strike 2-native release, launched after Valve's September 2023 relaunch, with no CS:GO history of its own.

It launched as a Mil-Spec Grade finish, with both a StatTrak™ and a Souvenir edition.

As a finish, "Hypnosis" is applied to the M249 — a light machine gun with a massive magazine, offering suppressing fire at the cost of mobility — and carries the blue rarity color every Mil-Spec Grade skin shares on the Steam Market and in-game.

That Mil-Spec Grade classification places it at the base of the tiers a Case can drop — the most common outcome of opening the Case(s) it comes from.

M249 | Hypnosis ships in all five wear conditions, from Factory New through Battle-Scarred, across the full 0.00–1.00 float range.

As with every CS2 skin, lower float values look cleaner: Factory New copies (roughly below 0.07 float) show the finish at its sharpest, while Field-Tested and Well-Worn pieces make up the most commonly traded middle ground between mint and heavily worn.

M249 | Hypnosis comes from the Gallery Case — the Case is no longer part of the active drop pool, so trading and the Steam Community Market are the ways to acquire it today.

Valve's own published Case odds put a Mil-Spec Grade pull like this one at roughly 1 in 9 (11.4171%).

There's both a StatTrak™ and a Souvenir edition of this finish, alongside the Normal version — three ways to own the same look, differing only in that badge.

Beyond that, there's no separate "phase" or pattern family tied to this finish in the site's data — it's tracked as a single fixed look across every wear condition it ships in.

As a Mil-Spec Grade finish, M249 | Hypnosis sits among the more common pulls from the Gallery Case rather than being a chase item — a straightforward, affordable way to add a M249 skin to a loadout or collection.

Its StatTrak™ and Souvenir editions tend to trade at a premium over the Normal version, the same pattern seen across most CS2 skins with that variant available.

M249 | Hypnosis has been part of the Gallery Case since October 2, 2024 — a Counter-Strike 2-native release with no CS:GO-era version to compare it to.

It's one of 7 Mil-Spec Grade items in the Gallery Case, out of 17 items total.

This is one of 26 M249 skins currently listed on the site, spanning multiple rarity tiers.
