M4A1-S | Night Terror (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

The skin is built on dark burgundy and black, with red patches and handwritten marks spread over the receiver, stock and magazine. In Field-Tested the scratches start to join the scrawled theme, so light wear on the silencer and edges looks more like part of the worn-out, sleepless mood than damage.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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

Appearance in Field-Tested

The finish puts a dark maroon base over the whole rifle, sinking toward near-black in the shadows, with brighter red patches across the receiver, stock and magazine. Scrawled writing and loose marks run over the surface and are most visible on the magazine, where pale tan lines stand out against the deep red.

Scratches become visible on the silencer, the top edge of the receiver and the lower part of the magazine, with some lines of the writing losing sharpness. The handguard ridges begin to show light rubbing. The dark base hides much of this, so at normal distance the rifle still reads as a coherent red-and-black piece, and the stock and sides of the receiver stay mostly clean.

Stickers and crafts

Dark red, black and muted gold stickers blend with the stained finish, and cream or pale tan designs echo the scrawls on the magazine. Placements along the side of the receiver work best, while bright neon or light blue stickers tend to break the dark mood.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies close to the cleaner border keep the silencer tip and magazine corners noticeably better.
• Look at the magazine on inspect, because the pale scrawls there are the most recognisable detail and lose sharpness first.
• Check the silencer and the top of the receiver, as these are the first places where chipping shows in first person.
• Look at any applied stickers and name tag, since they can either suit or clash with the dark red artwork.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who want the dark look at a moderate level of wear that the base colour largely hides.
• Buyers who like light scratches as part of the sleepless, worn-out theme.
• A balanced option between appearance and cost.
