Souvenir M4A4 | The Emperor (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

M4A4 | The Emperor is a blue and gold tarot-themed rifle, and in Battle-Scarred it takes on a rough, used character. Large areas of the paint are scratched through on exposed parts, while the central receiver ornament and general colour scheme still hold the theme together. This grade suits buyers who want the Covert design at the most accessible condition.

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.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

Other 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 handguard is painted in bright blue with cream geometric shapes, gold stars and small symbols in the style of a tarot card. The receiver is dark bronze with a radiating engraved pattern and gold ornaments around the magwell, while the rear sight and small parts carry gold accents.

Large patches of paint are gone from the handguard, magazine and stock edges, exposing bare metal underneath. The receiver ornament is scuffed on its raised parts, and much of the small artwork on the magazine is lost. In game the rifle still shows its blue base and gold accents, but the tarot illustration reads only in broad shapes.

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

Gold, holo and foil stickers in blue or gold tones match the ornaments and stars of the finish. Placements on the handguard work well because the blue panel gives them a calm background, while dark or bronze stickers suit the receiver area.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low value keeps the magazine and handguard edges noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the bottom of the magazine and the stock corners, as these parts lose paint first.
• Look at the stock illustration on worn copies to see how much of the Emperor figure is still visible.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag to make sure they fit the blue and gold artwork.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Players who want this Covert finish at the most accessible condition.
• Fans of a rough, used look on an ornate design.
• The entry point for owning The Emperor, with the colour scheme still intact.
