M4A1-S | Cyrex (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This M4A1-S finish uses a black base with large red sections and white high-tech panels, a combination that stays legible even when the paint is tired. In Well-Worn the red and white areas show clear scuffing and dulling at the edges, giving the rifle a used, field look. The colour scheme is still obvious, only rougher.

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 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.

The suppressor and the magazine show broad scuffed areas where dark metal comes through. The white panels look dulled and chipped, and the red on the barrel and grip is worn at the edges. In game the rifle reads as clearly used, though the red-black-white split is still obvious. The central parts of the receiver and the stock keep most of their look.

What to look at before you buy

• 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 Well-Worn

• Players who like a used, field look on their rifle.
