M4A1-S | Electrum (Minimal Wear)

The M4A1-S | Electrum in Minimal Wear (MW) is an M4A1-S with a glossy emerald finish and an olive-gold barrel. It is Restricted rank, part of the Dead Hand Collection, and the source is that collection's terminal. For CS2 the M4A1-S | Electrum can be bought in any of its five wears.

What the M4A1-S | Electrum looks like in Minimal Wear

The suppressor, the ribbed handguard and the receiver with its top handle are painted a deep emerald green with a glossy shine. The barrel and gas tube shimmer in olive gold. The magazine is gray, the grip dark and the stock black.

In Minimal Wear the signs of wear are only beginning: light scuffs on the edges, while the large green fields are intact. The float band for this wear of the M4A1-S | Electrum runs from 0.07 to 0.15.

Where the M4A1-S | Electrum came from

The finish came from the Steam Workshop. A submission called "M4A1-S | Electrum" appeared in the Workshop on February 18, 2025, from the author moonfighter. The author's description reads: "another recolor of my Silverhand collection for the M4A1-S". In the Valve catalog the finish is number 1433.

The M4A1-S | Electrum appeared on March 11, 2026, when the Dead Hand Collection was added to the game. Valve's note says it included 17 finishes from community authors and 22 new pairs of gloves as rare items.

What to check before buying

Before buying an M4A1-S | Electrum, a few points are worth checking:

• the float: the band from 0.07 to 0.15 is short, and the difference between listings falls within the margin of error;


• the name tag and stickers: on the M4A1-S | Electrum they stay with the listing;


• the listing version: regular or with a kill counter, and their prices differ.

All copies of the M4A1-S | Electrum carry the same pattern: the skin has no spread by pattern index.

What the M4A1-S | Electrum costs in Minimal Wear

The other wears, relative to Minimal Wear, come out like this:

• Factory New: nearly threefold;


• Field-Tested: more than two times cheaper;


• Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred: three times cheaper.

Among the eleven Restricted M4A1-S skins in Minimal Wear, the Electrum is eighth by price. M4A1-S | Glitched Paint costs a quarter more, M4A1-S | Liquidation twice as much, and M4A1-S | Basilisk almost five times as much. M4A1-S | Nitro is a little over twice as cheap.

Getting the M4A1-S | Electrum

The M4A1-S | Electrum sits in the Sealed Dead Hand Terminal. The rare special items that come out of it are gloves.

A trade-up for the M4A1-S | Electrum takes ten skins one rank below from a single collection. The Dead Hand Collection has seven Mil-Spec skins and five Restricted ones, so the chance of landing on this M4A1-S is one in five.

StatTrak and Souvenir

Stickers and craft on the M4A1-S | Electrum

The M4A1-S | Electrum has a StatTrak version. Souvenir copies of the finish also turn up, but no packages were made for it: those were issued only for tournament map collections. Such copies are built through the Souvenir-O-Matic, which puts golden tournament stickers and a player autograph on an ordinary skin from the inventory.

The dark green gloss gives stickers a contrasting ground. Gold and white ones read best on it, red ones are noticeable, and green ones get lost. The gray magazine and the black stock remain the most neutral zones.

Who this wear suits

Buying the M4A1-S | Electrum right here makes sense if:

• you want a 2026 M4A1-S with nearly untouched green gloss but without the Factory New surcharge;


• you do not want to pay almost three times more for Factory New, and Minimal Wear has scuffs only on the edges;


• a finish with a Workshop submission matters more to you than an in-house Valve work.

For CS2 matches the difference between wears is purely visual: a skin's wear does not change shooting.
