Souvenir M4A4 | Red DDPAT (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

The red pixel camouflage of this skin is laid over dark gunmetal, and Battle-Scarred shows that layer most openly. Because the float range of this finish ends early, even the most worn copies keep a fair amount of red on the handguard and stock. It is the cheapest way to get the recognisable red-and-grey look.

Item type: rifle. The weapon is available only on the Counter-Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The handguard and its ribbed rail covers are almost entirely red, which makes the front half of the rifle the brightest area. The receiver is dark gunmetal with red pixel blocks scattered across it, and the stock repeats the scheme in reverse, with red dominating and grey digital patches on top.

Bare metal covers the edges, the magazine and much of the receiver, and the handguard ribs are visibly chipped. Since this finish stops short of the heaviest wear, sizeable red areas remain on the handguard and stock. In game it reads as a weathered red-and-grey rifle rather than a plain dark one.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.5

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

Red, black and dark grey stickers blend with the camouflage, while white or silver accents add contrast on the dark receiver. Placements on the receiver work best, since the red handguard can make bright red stickers disappear.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show fewer chips.
• Look at the handguard edges, the magazine base and the muzzle in inspect view, as these lose paint first.
• On Souvenir copies, note that the applied stickers are fixed and decide whether they suit you.
• Check for existing stickers or a name tag and whether they match the red-and-grey scheme.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget players who want the red camouflage at the lowest entry point.
• Fans of a heavily used look that still keeps red on the handguard and stock.
• Conclusion: the cheapest way into this skin.
