M4A1-S | Blood Tiger (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Blood Tiger pairs an olive-grey tiger pattern with red accents, a restrained look for the silenced rifle. Because the float range ends early, Field-Tested copies sit at the light end of that grade: the stripes and red streaks remain clearly readable, with scuffs gathering on the silencer and edges.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The silencer, handguard, receiver, magazine and stock are wrapped in a grey-olive hydrographic with dark wavy tiger stripes. Red streaks run across the pattern, most visible on the silencer, the magazine and the lower receiver.

Scuffs are more visible on the silencer, magazine edges and carry handle, and the red can look slightly dulled in those spots. The hydrographic pattern still covers the handguard and receiver sides without large gaps. In game the stripes and red streaks remain easy to read. The stock and the centre of the receiver usually stay close to clean.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.3

The whole float range of M4A1-S | Blood Tiger is 0–0.3; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.3 segment (50% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Which stickers suit it

Red, black and dark olive stickers blend well with the tiger pattern and repeat its red streaks. Matte or holo stickers in red tones placed on the receiver side support the artwork without covering the busiest part of the print.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a lower value keeps the silencer and magazine edges cleaner.
• Look at the silencer tip and magazine edges first, as these are the parts that lose the print earliest.
• Compare the placement of the red streaks between copies, because the hydrographic shifts how much red shows on the silencer and magazine.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag so the item matches the look you want.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Budget buyers looking for an affordable entry to this finish.
• Players who care about the overall pattern in game more than edge wear.
• A sensible pick, since this skin's Field-Tested copies stay at the lighter end of the grade.
