M4A1-S | Moss Quartz (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

This finish paints the M4A1-S dark green with a crystal mask pattern over every part. The skin's float range stops well short of the heaviest damage, so Battle-Scarred copies keep most of the green coat and the pattern. It is the most affordable way to get the mossy look on a silenced rifle.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The suppressor, barrel, handguard, receiver, magazine and stock are all painted in dark green metallic paint with a slight sheen. A crystallising mask leaves paler yellow-green flecks and patches over the darker base, most visible on the magazine, the lower receiver and the suppressor.

All edges and raised parts show heavy scuffs, with the suppressor and magazine the most affected. The pattern is broken in places but still recognisable. Because the float range ends early, the rifle never reaches the most extreme wear seen on other skins. In game it reads as a weathered dark green rifle.
