Souvenir M4A1-S | Hyper Beast (Factory New)

Skin overview

M4A1-S | Hyper Beast is a Covert rifle finish that covers the weapon in a creature drawn in neon pink, red, blue and green. In Factory New the colours sit at full saturation and the fine linework of the scales and the beast's face stays crisp. The dark silencer and stock frame the bright centre, so the artwork stands out cleanly.

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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Factory New

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.

A Factory New copy shows no scratches on any part of the rifle. The scales on the handguard, the beast face and the magazine artwork keep full saturation and sharp outlines. In game the neon colours stand out clearly against the dark silencer and stock. Everything from the muzzle to the buttstock looks clean.

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 look at before you buy

• 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 the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the artwork in its cleanest, fully saturated form.
• Sticker crafters who need an untouched base so every colour stays true.
• The choice for those who want Hyper Beast exactly as it was drawn.
