M4A1-S | Glitched Paint (Minimal Wear)

What the M4A1-S | Glitched Paint looks like in Minimal Wear

This is the M4A1-S | Glitched Paint in Minimal Wear (MW), with a float band of 0.07 to 0.15, which is 12% of the finish's scale. It is a Restricted skin from The Radiant Collection. In CS2 it is an M4A1-S with bright, iridescent paint that you can buy lightly worn and without the factory markup.

Where the M4A1-S | Glitched Paint came from

Abstract paint covers the whole rifle, mixing pink, light blue, blue and orange. The strokes run in horizontal bands, like the lines on a glitching screen. The suppressor is pink at its end and light blue near the barrel, and the handguard is cut by thin transverse ribs. The metal of the barrel and carry handle shows as dark olive.

In Minimal Wear the paint is nearly whole. Scuffs are thin and appear only on the sharpest edges, so the colors stay bright and the bands read clearly.

What to check before buying

The M4A1-S | Glitched Paint first appeared on March 31, 2025, with the addition of The Radiant Collection. No Workshop submission stands behind it: this is the work of Valve itself. In Valve's catalog the finish carries number 1311.

What the M4A1-S | Glitched Paint costs in Minimal Wear

It makes sense to compare the following on this M4A1-S:

• float, which here sits between 0.07 and 0.15;


• whether stickers and a name tag are on the rifle;


• the type of listing: the finish has neither StatTrak nor a Souvenir version.

There is almost nothing to choose by float, because the 0.07 to 0.15 band is short.

Getting the M4A1-S | Glitched Paint

• Factory New costs 1.81 times as much;


• Field-Tested is 2.38 times cheaper;


• Well-Worn is 1.53 times cheaper;


• Battle-Scarred is 2.74 times cheaper.

Factory New is only 1.81 times higher, so the premium for the factory look is moderate on this skin. The price falls hardest on the step down to Field-Tested.

Among Restricted M4A1-S skins in this wear, the skin sits in the middle of the row: four are cheaper and six cost more. Above it stand Liquidation, then Bright Water, Dark Water and Icarus Fell. Below are Electrum, Nitro, Emphorosaur-S and Night Terror.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The skin does not turn up in CS2 cases. The Radiant Collection is, however, on the list of the weekly reward for playing time.

The trade-up contract works like this: ten Mil-Spec skins from any collections turn into a Restricted skin of the collection of one of the inputs. A ten from Radiant leaves a choice of three skins, and this M4A1-S is among them.

Stickers and craft on the M4A1-S | Glitched Paint

There is no StatTrak version of the M4A1-S | Glitched Paint, and no Souvenir packages exist for the finish.

Who this wear suits

Fresh paint gives a multicolor background where stickers with a crisp black or white border read best. Pastel stickers merge into the pink and light blue bands. The suppressor and the stock are the largest areas for a craft at low wear.

The M4A1-S | Glitched Paint in Minimal Wear pays off when:

• you want bright, iridescent paint but see no point in paying 1.81 times as much for Factory New;


• clean colors matter for a craft more than a smooth factory surface;


• the float within the 0.07 to 0.15 band is not critical.

If some wear is acceptable, Field-Tested is 2.38 times cheaper.
