The suppressor and handguard are dark, gridded and ribbed, the stock is black, and a yellow ring runs between it and the receiver. The caption Valve gives the finish reads "Is this line secure?".

What to check before buying

On a listing for the M4A1-S | Control Panel, these parameters get checked:

• float: near the upper bound the wear is more visible than near the lower;


• the name tag and stickers, if they are already on this M4A1-S | Control Panel.

The artwork is set firmly and does not depend on the individual copy. In this wear you pick from the band 0.15 to 0.38, and the look at the two ends differs.

Getting the M4A1-S | Control Panel

An exchange contract for it takes ten skins one step down. This collection has two Classified output skins, so with ten from it the odds are one in two.

StatTrak and Souvenir

Stickers and craft on the M4A1-S | Control Panel

The M4A1-S | Control Panel has plenty of surfaces for a craft: the black stock and the dark handguard take any color. The blue box with lights is noisy, and small stickers dissolve in it. Cold shades blend into the blue base, while white and red give contrast.

Who this wear suits

The M4A1-S | Control Panel in Field-Tested is worth buying when:

• you need an M4A1-S for CS2 at a price 1.51 times below Minimal Wear;


• a choice of float matters: the 0.15 to 0.38 band is long, and its edges differ;


• you do not need the lower wears, which are 3.79 times cheaper or more.
