Souvenir M4A4 | In Living Color (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

In Living Color covers the rifle in hand-painted neon art, and even heavily worn it keeps its pink, yellow and cyan identity. In Battle-Scarred large areas of paint are worn off the handguard, magazine and stock, and the drawings break up into fragments over bare metal. The result reads as a weathered graffiti wall rather than a fresh mural.

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.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The handguard and upper receiver are filled with a dense collage of hand-drawn figures, lettering and shapes in neon cyan, pink, yellow and green. The lower receiver and pistol grip carry bright yellow and orange areas with drawn characters, while the magazine mixes yellow, purple and white details.

Large patches of paint are gone from the magazine, grip, handguard and stock edges. The drawings break into fragments, and bare metal shows on many raised parts. In game the rifle still reads as neon and multicoloured, but with a weathered, chipped look. Only the flatter central areas of the receiver and stock keep solid colour.

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

Holo and foil stickers in pink, yellow, cyan or green blend with the neon artwork and keep the crowded collage look. Placing stickers on the yellow areas near the grip and magazine well keeps the busy handguard drawings visible. Simple dark or monochrome stickers can also work as a calm contrast to the colour.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within its wear range, since copies near the cleaner end show less edge wear on the magazine and handguard.
• Look at the magazine and grip on the inspect view, as these parts lose paint first.
• Make sure existing stickers do not cover the parts of the artwork you like most.
• Check for a name tag and decide whether it fits your plans for the rifle.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget entry for players who simply want this finish on their CT rifle.
• Fans of a heavily weathered, chipped graffiti look.
• Conclusion: the cheapest way in, for those who accept heavy wear.
