M4A1-S | Moss Quartz (Factory New)

Skin overview

M4A1-S | Moss Quartz covers the whole rifle in dark green metallic paint broken up by a crystal-like pattern. In Factory New the metallic sheen is even across the suppressor, handguard and receiver, and the paler crystalline patches stay crisp against the darker green. This is the cleanest way to see the finish as intended.

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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

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. The ribbed handguard and the carry handle catch the light and show the metallic quality of the paint. There are no other colours or graphic elements, so the look relies on texture and tone. On worn copies the paint goes first at the suppressor tip, the edges of the magazine and the raised parts of the receiver and carry handle.

The paint is intact on every part of the rifle. The crystal pattern has sharp edges and the metallic sheen is uniform. In game the rifle looks smooth and deep green from any distance. Nothing on the suppressor or magazine shows marks.
