Souvenir M4A4 | The Emperor (Factory New)

Skin overview

M4A4 | The Emperor is a Covert rifle finish inspired by the Emperor tarot card, with deep blue panels, gold ornaments and a dark bronze receiver. In Factory New every small detail of the illustration stays sharp, from the stars on the handguard to the figure on the stock. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the artwork exactly as it was drawn.

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: Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Factory New

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.

The paint is complete on every part of the rifle, including the edges of the handguard and the bottom of the magazine. Gold lines and stars look crisp, and the fine illustration on the stock is fully detailed. In game the blue reads clean and saturated, with no visible marks from any angle.

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

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 check before buying

• 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 the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the tarot artwork complete down to the smallest detail.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for premium placements.
• The grade for buyers who value a flawless finish above everything else.
