Souvenir M4A1-S | Nightmare (Factory New)

Skin overview

M4A1-S | Nightmare covers the silenced rifle in a dark navy base crossed by icy cyan claws and sharp scale-like strokes, a take on the nocturnal visitor from its description. In Factory New the glowing blue lines are crisp against the near-black paint, and the contrast is at its strongest. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the artwork exactly as designed.

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.

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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Factory New

The base colour is a deep navy close to black, covered with bright cyan and pale blue strokes that form claws, scales and sharp curved shapes. The receiver carries the densest part of the motif, with the creature's clawed outline wrapping around the magazine well and trigger area.

The paint is complete on every part, with no chips on the suppressor, handguard or stock. The cyan lines are sharp and the dark base is even. In game the blue highlights stand out clearly at any distance. Everything from the carry handle to the magazine base 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.

Stickers and crafts

Stickers in cyan, ice blue, silver or black match the cold palette and blend with the dark body. Holo and foil stickers with blue tones work well on the receiver, while warm colours such as red or gold give deliberate contrast if used sparingly.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since low-float copies of a grade look noticeably cleaner on the suppressor and handguard.
• Inspect the suppressor tip and handguard ribs first, as these are the parts that lose paint earliest.
• Look at any applied stickers and how worn they are, because they change the look of the dark receiver.
• If you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir copy, confirm the label and any name tag before buying.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the cyan artwork with no damage at all.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean dark base for blue or holo stickers.
• Conclusion: the grade for a flawless Nightmare.
