M4A4 | Hellfire (Factory New)

Factory New (FN) is the wear in which the M4A4 | Hellfire is a red-orange rifle with its artwork at full strength. Floats here run from 0.00 to 0.07, while the skin's scale ends at 0.50. It holds Classified rank in the Operation Hydra Collection. In CS2 the M4A4 | Hellfire is released in all five wears.

What the M4A4 | Hellfire looks like in Factory New

The whole rifle is wrapped in red-orange fire. A cream-white plate with black graphics lies on the receiver, and on it sits a red face with horns and fangs. Chains run down the grip. The magazine is painted with flames, the stock is orange-yellow, and the handguard is dark red with sharp red inserts.

Valve describes the artwork as a devil-like creature, drawn by hand amid fire and chains. In Factory New the red and orange are even, the white plate is free of scuffs, and the chains on the grip are visible in full. The contrast between the light plate and the fiery background is at its maximum here.

What to check before buying

From one listing to the next, this is what changes:

• float: the 0.00 to 0.07 band takes 14% of the skin's scale;


• a name tag and stickers, which stay with the listing on this skin;


• how clean the white plate and the face on the receiver are.

Every copy has the same pattern. You can buy this one almost sight unseen, because the 0.00 to 0.07 band is tight.

What the M4A4 | Hellfire costs in Factory New

Measured from Factory New, the other wears are cheaper by these factors:

• Minimal Wear, 2.18 times;


• Field-Tested, 2.63 times;


• Well-Worn, 4.68 times;


• Battle-Scarred, 4.68 times.

The two lowest wears cost the same, and the biggest step falls at Minimal Wear. Among eight Classified M4A4 skins in Factory New, the Hellfire comes second by price. Only the M4A4 | Poseidon is higher, at roughly four times the price. Below come the M4A4 | Hellish and the M4A4 | Falak, both more than twice as cheap. The M4A4 | Desolate Space is more than five times cheaper.

Getting the M4A4 | Hellfire

The Operation Hydra Case is the only one that holds this skin.

A contract for the M4A4 | Hellfire is made of ten skins one step below, from the same collection. The result is one of the three Classified skins in the set. The skin itself can go on into a contract for the AWP | Oni Taiji or the Five-SeveN | Hyper Beast, but that trade brings no benefit.

StatTrak and Souvenir

A StatTrak version of the M4A4 | Hellfire exists. Souvenir packages for the finish were never issued, but you can make a Souvenir copy yourself: the Souvenir-O-Matic adds gold tournament stickers and a player autograph to a regular skin.

Stickers and craft on the M4A4 | Hellfire

Free places are few: covering the white plate with the face would be a shame, and the rest is taken by fire. The handguard is the calmest area. Against the red-orange background black, white and light stickers read, while red and orange ones get lost.

Who this wear suits

Factory New makes sense here under these conditions:

• you want untouched fire and a crisp white plate with the face;


• paying 2.18 times more than for Minimal Wear is acceptable;


• the rifle is going into a CS2 inventory to be looked at, not played with every day.

In CS2 wear does not affect shooting, so the clean factory look matters only for display.
