M4A1-S | Chantico's Fire (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Chantico's Fire in Battle-Scarred keeps its red-and-yellow identity, but large parts of the paint are flaked off down to grey metal. The silencer, magazine and receiver edges take the most damage, and the yellow ornament survives only in patches. It suits those who like the colours of the skin and want a heavily worn, rugged look.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The whole rifle is painted red and covered with yellow ornamental linework and stylised motifs. The silencer and the handguard carry a pattern of yellow stripes over red, which makes the front of the weapon look ribbed, while a dark barrel section shows between them.

In Battle-Scarred the paint is heavily flaked across the silencer, handguard, magazine and receiver edges, leaving wide areas of grey metal. The yellow ornament remains only in fragments, and the smiley face area on the stock is also affected. In game the rifle reads as patchy red and grey with flecks of yellow. Small sheltered areas of the receiver hold the most paint.
