Description
The M249 | Submerged is a CS2-era weapon skin based on the CS:GO (legacy) model, carrying forward its established visual identity from the original CS:GO cosmetic system. As part of the broader Anubis cosmetic ecosystem, it became recognizable among players looking for ocean-inspired finishes that stand out on the M249’s bulky, industrial silhouette.
In terms of rarity, M249 | Submerged is classified as Consumer Grade. While exact drop odds can vary by container, it generally falls into the more accessible end of the rarity spectrum—making it a common target for players who want a recognizable look without chasing high-tier skins. The float range of 0.02 - 0.8 also means the skin can appear across multiple wear stages, from near-fresh to heavily worn appearances.
You can find this skin in several wear conditions: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available, meaning there’s no kill counter variant for this particular skin. However, Souvenir availability is Yes, which is especially relevant for collectors who prefer tournament-linked versions.
Visually, Submerged delivers a marine-themed finish designed to evoke underwater tones and textured depth. The pattern work is defined by the skin’s teal-blue palette and water-like blending, while Paint index: 1242 corresponds to the specific texture mapping used for this variant. On the M249, the Submerged artwork reads clearly from distance, giving the weapon a more cohesive, “theme-driven” look compared to many standard finishes.
To obtain M249 | Submerged, look for it through The Anubis Collection and related container drops.

Among the community, Submerged is often appreciated for its clean color identity and the way it enhances the M249’s distinct body shape. Because it spans multiple wears and includes Souvenir options for collectors, it’s frequently viewed as a practical yet stylish pick—one that’s easy to fit into casual loadouts while still offering appeal to long-term skin collectors.
