M4A1-S | Cyrex (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Cyrex dresses the M4A1-S in black, white and red, and that colour split survives even on the most worn copies. In Battle-Scarred the suppressor, magazine and receiver graphics carry heavy wear, with dark metal breaking through the red and white. Because the float range of this skin ends early, the damage stops short of a fully stripped 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.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The suppressor is dark grey with a red section near its base carrying small white markings, and the barrel behind it is red up to the black ribbed handguard. The receiver is black with white and red panels and a small white emblem, while the carry handle has a thin red accent.

Heavy wear covers the suppressor and the magazine, and the red sections are broken up by large patches of bare metal. The receiver graphics and white panels are noticeably damaged, and the grip shows clear scuffing. Because the skin's float range ends early, the finish never reaches a fully stripped state. At normal distance the colour scheme is still recognisable.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within its wear grade, since lower values keep the suppressor and magazine noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the suppressor and the bottom of the magazine first, as these parts show wear before the rest of the rifle.
• Look at applied stickers and their condition, because they can clash with the red and white panels.
• Decide whether you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir version, as both exist for this skin.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Fans of heavy wear, knowing the finish never fully strips.
