M4A1-S | Party Animal (Factory New)

Skin overview

M4A1-S | Party Animal covers the rifle in a neon animal print of magenta, violet, turquoise and orange spots. In Factory New the print is fully intact, the colour transitions stay sharp and the spots keep their clean outlines. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the bright pattern exactly as designed.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The suppressor and magazine are dominated by magenta and pink with darker violet and turquoise spots, and the magazine adds small orange and yellow rosettes. The ribbed handguard has a smooth violet-to-lavender gradient that sets it apart from the busier parts. The receiver and trigger area are mostly turquoise and blue, broken up by pink and purple patches and orange outlines around the spots. The stock repeats the pink and teal mix and carries the print to the rear of the rifle. On worn copies the paint goes first from the suppressor tip, the magazine edges, the handguard ribs and the receiver corners, revealing metal underneath.

The print is complete on every part, from the suppressor to the stock. The handguard gradient is even and the orange outlines on the receiver stay crisp. In game the colours look saturated and uniform. Nothing on the weapon shows bare metal.

Which stickers suit it

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear grade, because the suppressor tip and magazine edges show the difference first.
• Look at the handguard ribs on inspect, as they lose paint earlier than the flat parts.
• On Souvenir copies, see whether the fixed stickers fit the neon colours of the print.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, since they add to the look but can clash with the busy pattern.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the neon print with no marks at all.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean, fully coloured base.
• In short: the pick for the complete, untouched look.
