Souvenir M4A1-S | Stratosphere (Factory New)

Skin overview

M4A1-S | Stratosphere is a Classified rifle skin with a space scene: spacefaring ships circle a pale blue planet on a dark, star-speckled body. In Factory New the deep navy base stays even and the planet's arc keeps its full glow against it. The small star flecks and the purple haze near the rear of the receiver read sharply.

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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

The base of the rifle is a deep navy, almost black, finish scattered with tiny star specks, with gold flecks on the long silencer and the handguard. The receiver carries the main scene: a pale blue planet arc sweeps across it toward the magazine well, with light ship silhouettes and thin orange-gold streaks passing over it.

The dark base is uniform from the silencer to the stock, with every star speck and gold fleck intact. The planet arc has clean edges and the ship silhouettes are crisp. The purple nebula on the rear receiver blends smoothly. In game the rifle looks exactly like the clean image, with no marks anywhere.

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 blue, purple, gold or holographic finishes match the space palette and sit well on the dark handguard or magazine. Placing them away from the planet arc keeps the main scene open.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, as it decides how clean the planet arc and the silencer look.
• Inspect the pale blue planet on the receiver closely, since scratches there are the most noticeable.
• Look at the silencer tip, handguard ribs and magazine edges, which wear first.
• Note whether the copy is a Souvenir and whether it carries stickers or a name tag.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the space scene with full colour and clean edges.
• Sticker crafters who need an unmarked dark base for their combination.
• The choice for those who want the design exactly as intended.
