Souvenir M4A1-S | Vaporwave (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

This finish features a marble statue and distorted retro imagery in pink, purple, cyan and white. Battle-Scarred is the most worn grade, with heavy paint loss on the silencer, magazine and receiver edges, while the central motifs remain partly visible. It is the cheapest way into the Vaporwave look for those who like a weathered rifle.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The receiver is painted white with a Greco-Roman marble head on its side, surrounded by orange, pink and violet sunset strokes. The handguard is purple with a glowing pink grid and a pink rim, while the barrel, carry handle and front sight are tinted blue-violet.

Heavy paint loss covers the silencer, the magazine and the receiver edges, with large patches of metal exposed. The checkerboard on the stock and the white base are strongly scratched. Parts of the statue and the handguard grid stay visible in the centre. In game the rifle looks weathered, with the pink and purple tones still giving away the design.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.597

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 pink, purple, cyan or holographic finishes blend well with the vaporwave palette. Placements on the white stock or along the receiver keep the statue visible and fit the clean base.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low float in each grade keeps the white areas noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the silencer tip, handguard rims and magazine base, as these parts lose paint first.
• Make sure the statue on the receiver is intact, because it is the focal point of the design.
• Look at applied stickers and the name tag, and decide whether they match the pastel-neon palette.
