M4A1-S | Cyrex (Well-Worn)

Well-Worn (WW) on the M4A1-S | Cyrex is a Covert suppressed rifle whose price nearly matches Minimal Wear and Field-Tested. The float limits here are 0.38 and 0.45. The collection is The Breakout Collection.

What the M4A1-S | Cyrex looks like in Well-Worn

The finish is built on three colors, each with its own role. Black is the base: receiver, ribbed handguard, stock. Red takes the sleeve by the suppressor, the exposed stretch of barrel behind it, the outlines at the ejection port and the bottom of the magazine. White stays an accent: the insert on the side of the receiver, the top of the magazine and the small letters on the sleeve.

In Well-Worn the skin is a narrow 0.38–0.45 strip, and copies barely differ from one another. The wear takes 0.07 of the skin's 0.50 scale, about one seventh.

Where the M4A1-S | Cyrex came from

The skin was drawn by Nextgenz of the Steam Workshop. In the description of his submission he wrote that the work is one hundred percent vector and was made with a mouse only, without a graphics tablet. The Breakout Collection was added to the game in July 2014, and the skin arrived with that same update.

Valve signed the item description with a line from Chase Turner of The Coalition.

What to check before buying

Before taking an M4A1-S | Cyrex, look at these points:

• Float: a spread of 0.07 changes almost nothing, so the cleanliness of the white details matters more;


• The red sleeve and the outlines at the ejection port;


• The name tag and stickers, which come along with the copy.

The copies differ in wear alone: the artwork is the same on all of them.

What the M4A1-S | Cyrex costs in Well-Worn

Relative to this wear:

• Factory New costs 1.07 times more;


• Minimal Wear costs the same;

The M4A1-S | Printstream is four percent cheaper. The M4A1-S | Hyper Beast, the M4A1-S | Mecha Industries and the M4A1-S | Chantico's Fire are about forty percent cheaper. The M4A1-S | Player Two costs a third as much.

Getting the M4A1-S | Cyrex

The skin's source is the Operation Breakout Weapon Case. For this skin, a trade-up takes ten skins one rank lower. The outcome depends on the number of Covert skins in the collection: there are two, so with a ten from it the odds are one in two.

StatTrak and Souvenir

There is a StatTrak version of the M4A1-S | Cyrex. No souvenir packages were made for this finish, but a souvenir copy can be built yourself through the Souvenir-O-Matic.

Stickers and craft on the M4A1-S | Cyrex

The black surfaces give stickers a background with no competition, while the colored blocks drown a sticker out. Red and white stickers continue the range, and blue and yellow ones add contrast if you want to break the design up.

Who this wear suits

This wear of the M4A1-S | Cyrex is worth buying if:

• you want a red-and-black suppressed M4A1-S in CS2 rather than an untouched body;


• Factory New costs 1.07 times more, and a difference like that does not matter for your setup;


• you choose by the wear label: inside the 0.38–0.45 band the listings are almost identical.

In CS2, Well-Worn differs from its neighboring wears only in looks.
