Title: Counter-Strike doesn't deserve this weapon, and for good reason
Post by: Redaktion on May 01, 2026, 23:08:55
The M249 is CS2's most expensive weapon at $5,200 - and its most useless. With worse stats than guns half its price, zero pro pick rate, and a kill reward identical to budget rifles, Valve's forgotten LMG is less a weapon, more a $5,200 mistake.

I wouldn't be suprised if the only reason they didn't remove with the release of CS2 is because there are skins for it, meaning skins would suddenly be unusable.
