Souvenir M4A1-S | Hyper Beast (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

In Battle-Scarred, Hyper Beast keeps its neon palette only in patches, with heavy scratches cutting through the creature on the handguard, receiver and magazine. The pink and blue still read from afar, but up close the beast looks chewed and faded. It is the cheapest way to carry this artwork on an M4A1-S.

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.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

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 is covered in ribbed, scale-like segments in pink, red and blue with green highlights, and the same body continues across the receiver, where a toothed beast face sits above the magazine well. The magazine and grip carry the creature's pink and red flesh with teal and green accents, while the carry handle shows a small red and green detail resembling an eye.

Battle-Scarred covers the handguard and magazine in heavy scratches, leaving the creature in broken patches. The beast face on the receiver is visibly scraped, and the stock and carry handle show worn edges. In game the rifle still reads as pink and blue at distance, but the artwork is clearly damaged in first-person view. No part of the weapon keeps a fully clean finish.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–1

The float of Souvenir M4A1-S | Hyper Beast ranges from 0 to 1; the Battle-Scarred quality covers 0.45–1 — 55% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

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

Holo and foil stickers in pink, blue or green echo the neon palette and blend well with the artwork. Placing them on the dark silencer-side of the receiver or near the stock keeps the beast face and handguard scales visible.

What to check before buying

• Look at where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float in Field-Tested or Well-Worn keeps noticeably more of the handguard scales.
• Inspect the handguard ridges and magazine edges first, as these are where the paint goes before anything else.
• Check whether the copy is a StatTrak™ version if you want a kill counter, and confirm any applied stickers or name tag in the inspect view.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players who want the cheapest entry into this artwork.
• Those who like a heavily battered finish with neon showing through.
• The budget entry for the rifle's look, with clear damage accepted.
