Souvenir M4A1-S | Black Lotus (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

The black lotus over a blue and purple base is still the defining feature here, but in Battle-Scarred it reads as a worn texture rather than a clean print. Bare metal shows through on the edges and raised parts. This is the cheapest way to carry this colour scheme on the M4A1-S.

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.

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. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The handguard, receiver, carry handle and stock are painted in deep navy and violet, with black lotus petals spread across them and thin lighter outlines that give the flowers shape. A lighter floral accent sits on the side of the receiver near the trigger group.

Paint is heavily worn on the handguard, carry handle and stock, with wide patches of grey metal. The petals survive in fragments, mostly on the sides of the receiver. In game the skin reads as a worn dark purple rifle rather than a clear floral design. The dark suppressor, grip and magazine look much the same as on cleaner copies.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

Stickers in purple, blue, black or holographic violet tones blend with the base colours. Silver or white accents placed on the receiver stand out against the dark petals without breaking the scheme.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since lower values keep the handguard edges and petal outlines cleaner.
• Inspect the handguard, carry handle and stock corners, as they lose paint first.
• Look at applied stickers and the name tag, because they change how the dark finish reads.
• Decide whether you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir copy, since both versions exist for this skin.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget buyers who want the cheapest way into this skin.
• Players who like a heavily worn, battered look on the M4A1-S.
• The entry grade for those who value price over a clean pattern.
