M4A1-S | Decimator (Well-Worn)

Well-Worn (WW) on the M4A1-S | Decimator is the float stretch from 0.38 to 0.45, 8% of a scale that ends at 0.85. This Classified M4A1-S belongs to The Spectrum Collection and drops from the Spectrum Case.

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

A dark blue base, nearly black, covers the top of the receiver, the handguard and the carry handle. Raspberry-pink comes in from below and in front: the front face of the suppressor, the grip, the magazine, and the stock with its butt plate. The change between the two colors is soft, with no border. Thin turquoise outlines follow the ribs: the front sight, the arc of the handle, the handguard ribs and the trigger guard. There is no artwork and no lettering, only gradient and lines.

By Well-Worn the raspberry has already gone pale in three spots: the butt plate, the bottom of the magazine and the front of the suppressor. The turquoise outlines on the handguard ribs break after that. The wear is set when the item drops.

Where the M4A1-S | Decimator came from

Coridium is the author. In the Steam Workshop the work was titled "M4A1-S - DECIMATOR 2000" and went up on March 10, 2016. By the author's account, the finish is built around much of what he loved in the 80s. The skin itself appeared in March 2017, and Valve's catalog numbers it 644. Valve added the caption "Quiet retrofuturism" to the description.

Who this wear suits

Well-Worn on the M4A1-S | Decimator is worth buying if:

• you want a retrofuturist gradient at nearly a quarter below the price of Minimal Wear;


• pale raspberry on the edges is acceptable;


• you have no need to choose by float, as the band is narrow.

If you need a saturated raspberry, look at Minimal Wear.
