Aztec was released with the CS20 Case in October 2019, commemorating twenty years of Counter-Strike. The skin references the Aztec map, one of CS's most enduring community favorites.
The weapon is presented as if excavated from Aztec ruins—rusted parts and moss overgrowth cover the metal. The flavor text—'Never trust a rope bridge'—references one of the map's most iconic environmental hazards.
The Aztec map has a deeply nostalgic history in the CS community, and the M249 Aztec skin directly invokes it. Among M249 skins, the Restricted rarity and map connection give it collector standing.
Restricted-tier; drops from the CS20 Case at roughly 1-in-5 odds per opening at this tier.
Obtainable from the CS20 Case. StatTrak variant available. Max float 0.75 allows all five wear grades.
Available in Factory New through Battle-Scarred; the 0.75 max float permits all grades. Ironically, heavier wear adds to the archaeological-artifact concept—Battle-Scarred copies look authentically ancient.
Aged and weathered finish with rust and moss overgrowth simulating archaeological excavation. Higher float copies lean into the ancient-artifact aesthetic naturally.
Popular among CS history enthusiasts and players who feel nostalgic about the Aztec map. The rusted excavation aesthetic makes higher-float copies contextually appropriate rather than degraded.
