M4A1-S | Solitude (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

In Battle-Scarred the mountain pattern survives mainly as blue patches with broken lines, and much of the gold and cream is scraped away. The overall blue tone still identifies the skin at a glance in game. It is the most affordable way to carry Solitude.

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.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The whole rifle is covered in a teal-blue base with thin darker blue contour lines that trace a mountain terrain map. The magazine and the carry handle carry pale cream mountain panels with fine detail, while the receiver shows gold accents near the ejection area.

The magazine, receiver and suppressor are heavily scratched, with bare metal showing through the pattern. Most of the gold and cream details are gone, leaving broken contour lines on a patchy blue base. The handguard and stock are scuffed as well, but in game the rifle is still recognisable by its colour.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since cleaner copies keep more of the gold and cream details.
• Inspect the suppressor tip and magazine edges, as these lose paint first.
• Look at the gold accents on the receiver, which show wear earlier than the plain teal areas.
• Note whether the copy is a Souvenir and whether it carries stickers or a name tag.
