M4A1-S | Player Two (Factory New)

In Factory New (FN) the M4A1-S | Player Two is a graffiti M4 with untouched fills, and the most expensive of its five wears. It is of Covert rank, belongs to The Prisma 2 Collection and comes from the Prisma 2 Case.

What the M4A1-S | Player Two looks like in Factory New

The skin is built like a wall of graffiti. The suppressor is orange-red with pink splotches and a silver tag, and its front third is teal. The barrel and handguard are teal-blue with white strokes. The receiver carries a collage of blue, orange, yellow and white, and on the right sits a yellow cartoon character with a mask-like face. The stock is orange-red with black ornamental lettering, and the magazine is orange and white, with cartoon animals.

Dark areas are limited to the carry handle, the handguard rings and a few small metal parts. In Factory New the white strokes on the barrel are whole, and the edges and corners are not rubbed. The wear range for the M4A1-S | Player Two is 0.00 to 0.07. Inside that band there is nothing to choose between when hunting for the best copy.

Where the M4A1-S | Player Two came from

The finish's author is kadzor, and the Workshop submission "CS20 | 2048 (Player Two)" came out on October 5, 2019. He calls the work a cyberpunk tribute to the idea of CS:GO skins. In the cartoon version, a GIGN operator and Pop Dog share the body. Valve opened the Prisma 2 Collection in the game on March 31, 2020, and the skin appeared along with it. In the Valve catalog the skin's number is 946.

What to check before buying

Before paying, look at these things on the M4A1-S | Player Two:

• float: the band is short, and the number only shows which edge a listing lies near;


• the white strokes on the round barrel and suppressor, which in FN are whole;


• an applied name and stickers, which stay with the skin on the listing.

The artwork on the M4A1-S | Player Two is one for all copies, so there is no particular example to hunt for.

What the M4A1-S | Player Two costs in Factory New

The other wears, set against this one:

• Minimal Wear costs about 2.35 times less;


• Field-Tested costs about 2.6 times less;


• Well-Worn costs about 2.4 times less;


• Battle-Scarred costs about 2.65 times less.

All four lower wears sit in one corridor, and there is a single jump: from the top to the rest. FN takes 0.07 of the 0.84 scale, about eight percent.

Among the eleven Covert M4s in Factory New the skin is second from the bottom: only Vaporwave is cheaper, and almost level. Golden Coil and Cyrex cost forty to fifty percent more, and Mecha Industries and Fade sit a little below them.

Getting the M4A1-S | Player Two

The M4 drops from the Prisma 2 Case. A trade-up for the M4A1-S | Player Two needs ten skins one step lower, all from this collection. Covert rank leads to a knife craft: for the Prisma 2 Collection that is Navaja Knife, Stiletto Knife, Talon Knife and Ursus Knife.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The M4A1-S | Player Two has a StatTrak version. There were no Souvenir packages, but Souvenir copies are assembled independently: the Souvenir-O-Matic works with ordinary skins.

Stickers and craft on the M4A1-S | Player Two

The artwork is dense, so a sticker needs a clear shape. Large stickers show well on the teal handguard, while small ones get lost among the strokes. In Factory New a craft sits on whole paint, and the design does not clash with scuffs.

Who this wear suits

Buying the M4A1-S | Player Two here makes sense if:

• you want an M4 for CS2 with untouched fills;


• you need a clean base for a craft, and paying two and a half times as much does not scare you;


• you are assembling a set in bright colors for CS2.

The artwork is the same in every wear, so the difference between FN and Minimal Wear is only in the wear marks.
