What the M4A1-S | Leaded Glass looks like in Battle-Scarred

The paint is built of shards, like stained glass: orange, yellow, red, turquoise and blue pieces separated by dark bridges. The suppressor is painted all over, along with the receiver sides, the grip and the stock. The ribbed handguard and the magazine stay dark. Valve's text speaks of broken blue-and-orange glass and calls the piece deadly fragility.

The bridges between the shards are fine-lined. So wear in Battle-Scarred shows most clearly on the end and ribs of the suppressor, the edges of the receiver sides and the corners of the stock. Wear is fixed at the drop. Inside the large colored segments it reads as gray patches.
