M4A4 | In Living Color (Battle-Scarred)

In Battle-Scarred (BS), the M4A4 | In Living Color is the cheapest of the five wears, but its busy design hides scuffs better than any plain base. The rank is Covert, and the collection is The Snakebite Collection. The float band for the M4A4 | In Living Color is 0.45 to 0.79.

What the M4A4 | In Living Color looks like in Battle-Scarred

The rifle is painted like a comic in neon tones: turquoise, pink, lime green, yellow and purple run together on a light background. The design lies unbroken over the handguard, receiver, magazine and stock, and it is assembled from separate scenes. Cartoon characters and scraps of lettering are visible up close. The barrel and carry handle are dark gray.

On a busy base, scuffs get lost: the receiver edges and the carry handle turn gray first. You can buy the M4A4 | In Living Color in this wear with very different amounts of wear, since the 0.45 to 0.79 band is wide. It takes up 0.34 of the 0.79, about forty-three percent of the skin's scale.

Stickers and craft on the M4A4 | In Living Color

A busy collage overrides small graphics, and stickers get lost on it. Large single-color stickers work better, and the place for them is the carry handle or the light trim piece at the muzzle.

Who this wear suits

Battle-Scarred makes sense for the M4A4 | In Living Color if:

• you want a neon M4A4 for CS2 at the lowest price among the skin's wears;


• scuffs on the collage do not bother you, and paying 2.6 times more for Factory New is not justified;


• you pick the float by its number, since the band is wide.

In CS2 play, this wear differs from Well-Worn only in float.
