Souvenir M4A4 | Zirka (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Zirka is recognised by its khaki-olive spray-paint base and the yellow knotwork star on the lower receiver, a single point of colour on an otherwise muted rifle. In Field-Tested the paint starts to thin on edges and protruding parts, which suits the utilitarian, field-gear look of the base colours. The star is still clearly readable in first person, so the main motif stays intact.

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.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The whole rifle is covered in an olive-khaki spray-paint base, darker and greyer on the receiver and lighter on the handguard and stock. Thin light grey swirling lines run across the receiver, magazine and grip, giving the surface a faint engraved texture.

Wear spreads along the barrel, the front of the handguard, the edges of the magazine and the top of the carry handle, with lighter metal showing through in thin streaks. The flat receiver sides are mostly intact, and the star keeps its shape and colour with only occasional scratches near its points on higher floats. In first person the scuffs read as natural use marks rather than damage. The stock and grip show moderate edge wear.

Field-Tested quality — float range 0.15–0.38

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

Yellow, gold and black stickers tie in with the star emblem, while muted olive or brown ones blend with the base. Placing them along the handguard keeps the star on the receiver clear.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within its grade, since the Factory New window is narrow and low-float Minimal Wear can look almost the same.
• Look at the yellow star on the receiver in the inspect view, because on worn copies it is the detail that decides how the skin reads.
• Inspect the muzzle, carry handle and magazine base, which lose paint first.
• Check applied stickers and name tags, as bright stickers can compete with the single yellow accent.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who like the field-gear style, where light scuffs fit the olive palette.
• Buyers looking for a reasonable entry while the star stays clearly readable.
• A practical grade for everyday play.
