M4A1-S | Chantico's Fire (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This hand-painted M4A1-S skin is built on red and yellow, and in Well-Worn the contrast between them begins to soften. Chipped areas spread over the silencer, handguard ribs and magazine, breaking the fine linework into fragments. The overall colour scheme is still clear, but the detailed ornament gives way to a rougher, used 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 Well-Worn

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.

Well-Worn spreads the chipping over large parts of the silencer and handguard, and the magazine loses much of its ornament. Wear reaches the receiver edges and the stock corners, and the red looks duller overall. In game the colour scheme is still recognisable, but the fine detail is gone at normal distance. Only the flatter central panels keep a clear drawing.

Well-Worn wear: float 0.38–0.45

What to look at before you buy

• 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.
