M4A4 | 龍王 (Dragon King) (Factory New)

Factory New (FN) on the M4A4 | 龍王 (Dragon King) means a float of 0.00 to 0.07, which is 9% of a finish scale that runs to 0.75. The skin is of Classified rank, from The Chroma Collection. Valve names it in Chinese characters.

What the M4A4 | 龍王 (Dragon King) looks like in Factory New

The base is cream. Blue-violet clouds run along the handguard and the magazine and across the underside of the receiver. On the receiver side the head of a dragon is laid out in full: orange-red, with gold and white strokes, with its mouth, whiskers and mane. The buttplate is orange-red and the stock itself is violet-gray.

In Factory New the cream edges of the handguard and the rims of the receiver sides are all there, and the cloud pattern breaks off cleanly. The orange buttplate, the most exposed part, is untouched too. The whole picture reads from end to end.

Where the M4A4 | 龍王 (Dragon King) came from

The M4A4 | 龍王 (Dragon King) came out in January 2015, when the Chroma Case collection was added to the game. Every other finish in the collection appeared at the same time.

Stickers and craft on the M4A4 | 龍王 (Dragon King)

Against the cream base of this M4A4, dark stickers show with more contrast. In Factory New a sticker lands on untouched artwork, and there is no need to cover the dragon's head: the magazine and the stock have room for a full set.

Who this wear suits

Factory New on the M4A4 | 龍王 (Dragon King) is worth buying if:

• you want an M4A4 for CS2 with a whole picture and an untouched buttplate;


• the top step of the scale matters, and a premium of one and a half to three times does not put you off;


• the dragon is for a showcase rather than a working rifle.
