Souvenir M4A1-S | Fatal Glitch (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred leaves the green paint as islands on flat surfaces, with the suppressor, handguard and magazine heavily stripped to metal. This is the most affordable way to carry Fatal Glitch, and the colour still identifies it at a glance.

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.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The suppressor, ribbed handguard, upper receiver, carry handle and magazine are painted in a bright yellow-green pearlescent coat with a soft sheen. Small orange and red marks, like corrupted pixels, sit on the suppressor, the receiver side and the magazine.

The suppressor and handguard are mostly stripped to metal, and the magazine keeps only fragments of paint. Green survives mainly on flat receiver areas, and the glitch marks are reduced to traces. In game it reads as a grey rifle with green patches rather than a solid green one.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–1

The float of Souvenir M4A1-S | Fatal Glitch ranges from 0 to 1; the Battle-Scarred quality covers 0.45–1 — 55% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

Souvenir M4A1-S | Fatal Glitch belongs to The Spy Tech Collection, which holds 17 skins. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

Price by quality

Among 9 skins of the M4A1-S in the Classified grade and this quality, this skin is the dearest.

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.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in orange, red or black echo the glitch marks and sit well on the bright green receiver. Holographic or green-toned stickers keep the acid look consistent, while placing one accent sticker near the magazine well ties into the marks there.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade keep noticeably more paint on the suppressor and handguard.
• Look at how the orange and red marks are placed on the suppressor and magazine of a specific copy, because their position can differ between items.
• Inspect the suppressor tip, handguard ribs and carry handle first, as these parts lose paint before the rest.
• On Souvenir copies, check the applied stickers, since they cannot be removed and change the overall look.
