M4A4 | 龍王 (Dragon King) (Battle-Scarred)

The M4A4 | 龍王 (Dragon King) in Battle-Scarred (BS) has a float of 0.45 to 0.75. That band is cut short, because the finish's float scale ends at 0.75, not at 1.00. Battle-Scarred takes up 40% of that scale. Valve writes the skin's name in Chinese characters. It is a Classified rank skin from The Chroma Collection.

What the M4A4 | 龍王 (Dragon King) looks like in Battle-Scarred

The body is cream-beige, with blue-violet wavy shapes like clouds running along the handguard, the magazine and the underside of the receiver. The main detail is an orange-red dragon's head with gold and white accents, covering almost the whole side of the receiver. The mouth, whiskers and mane are all distinct. The stock is dark lilac-gray with an orange-red buttplate, and the front sight is violet.

Nothing from the characters in the name is printed on the gun, and there is no lettering or numbering either. The barrel with its muzzle brake stays dark bare metal. Wear reaches the cream trim first: the handguard edges and the rims of the receiver sides, where the cloud pattern stops. The dragon's face on the flat receiver side holds out longest.

Where the M4A4 | 龍王 (Dragon King) came from

The M4A4 | 龍王 (Dragon King) arrived with the Chroma Case in January 2015 and has belonged to its collection since the first day.

What to check before buying

Before you settle on a copy, compare these points:

• float: the 0.45 to 0.75 band is wide, and copies at its two ends differ in wear;


• stickers and a name tag: on this M4A4 | 龍王 (Dragon King) they go with the listing;


• the state of the cream edges and the orange buttplate.

The pattern is not randomized, so every copy is painted alike. Within 0.45 to 0.75, though, listings differ noticeably in how they look.
