Souvenir M4A1-S | Stratosphere (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

The skin shows a planet in deep space with ships circling it, laid over a dark speckled finish. A Well-Worn copy has visible scratches along the silencer, handguard and magazine. The pale blue planet starts to lose its clean edge. The overall space theme is still easy to read, now with a used, rough character.

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, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

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.

Wear spreads across the silencer, handguard and magazine, and the star speckles break up in many spots. The pale blue planet shows clear scratches, and its outline is less sharp. The purple nebula near the carry handle fades in patches. At normal distance the design is still recognisable, but the rifle reads as visibly used.

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 Well-Worn quality suits

• Budget buyers who still want the recognisable planet and ships.
• Players who like a used look on their rifle.
• A budget option that keeps the theme.
