M4A1-S | Chantico's Fire (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Chantico's Fire combines a red base with bright yellow ornament, so even at a distance the rifle reads as a warm, busy pattern. In Field-Tested the edges of the silencer, the carry handle and the magazine start to show bare metal, while the central panels still carry most of the drawing. It keeps the character of the skin with visible signs of use.

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.

Appearance in Field-Tested

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 Field-Tested bare metal shows along the silencer edges, on the handguard ribs, the top of the carry handle and the bottom of the magazine. Some yellow lines in these areas break up, while the receiver sides and stock keep most of the artwork. In game the rifle still reads as red and yellow, with the scuffs noticeable mainly on inspect. Copies at the cleaner end of the range look noticeably fresher.

• Check the float position within the wear grade, because the edges of the silencer and magazine show the difference first.
• Inspect the stock to see how well the smiley face and ornament have held up on worn copies.
• Look at applied stickers and their condition, as they change how the busy red-and-yellow pattern reads.
• Note whether the copy is StatTrak™ or Souvenir and whether it has a name tag.
