Souvenir M4A1-S | Stratosphere (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Stratosphere is recognisable by the contrast between its near-black space background and the bright blue curve of the planet across the receiver. In Field-Tested the dark base shows scuffs on the silencer and handguard. The central planet scene still carries the look of the skin. At normal distance it reads as the same space rifle, only less polished.

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: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Field-Tested

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.

Scratches become visible on the silencer, the handguard ribs and the lower edge of the magazine, where bare metal shows through the dark base. The planet arc may pick up light marks near its edges. The ships and most of the receiver scene stay readable. In game the rifle looks lived-in, but the space motif remains the focus.

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 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 check before buying

• 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 the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who want the space design for everyday matches.
• Buyers who accept scuffs on the silencer and handguard while the planet scene stays readable.
• A practical pick for regular play.
