Skin overview

In Battle-Scarred this skin is a heavily weathered version of its plated sci-fi design, with dark receiver, pale panels and yellow accents still recognisable underneath. Large areas of the light plating are scraped and darkened, and much of the fine marking is gone. It suits players who want the Covert M4A4 artwork with a rough, salvaged character.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

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

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The handguard is covered in pale grey-green plating with raised rectangular blocks carrying dark stencilled markings, edged by thin yellow lines along the top and bottom. The receiver is dark olive, almost black, with fine yellow panel outlines and small technical details that give it a machined, starship-interior feel.

Large areas of the pale plating on the handguard, magazine, grip and stock are scraped away and darkened with grime. Most of the yellow lines and fine markings are gone, leaving the panel shapes as the main recognisable element. The receiver shows scratches on its edges and raised parts. In game the skin reads as a rough, darker version of the design.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since pale plating shows scratches more readily than dark finishes.
• Look at the handguard edges and the magazine base, which wear first on this skin.
• On worn copies, check how much of the thin yellow trim is still intact.
• Review any stickers or name tag applied, as they affect both the look and the resale appeal.
