About the M249 | Downtown
M249 | Downtown is a Restricted skin that drops from one of the 42 CS2 weapon cases, the Recoil Case.
Valve released the Recoil Case on 1 July 2022.
Each open has a 3.1960% chance (about 1 in 31) of pulling it, as one of 5 Restricted finishes. One in ten of those drops is StatTrak.
It sits in tier 2 of 5 (Mil-Spec to Rare Special) and ranks #34 of 41 finishes in the Recoil Case by top-wear Steam price.
Its Steam price runs from $0.48 to $1.68 across wears, against $2.87 to open the Recoil Case (case plus $2.50 key), so even its best wear is worth less than one open.
