M4A4 | Magnesium (Factory New)

The M4A4 | Magnesium in Factory New (FN) is a nearly monochrome gray rifle with no pattern, where all the interest lies in the metal textures. It is a Mil-Spec skin from The Danger Zone Collection, dropped by the Danger Zone Case. Its float band of 0.00 to 0.07 covers just 7% of the scale.

What the M4A4 | Magnesium looks like in Factory New

The receiver and stock are dark gray, the handguard is lighter and more matte, and the magazine is a gray-beige. Thin reddish-pink stripes show along the lower edge of the handguard and at the base of the stock. The color is spread evenly over the whole rifle, with no standout zones.

The only accents are the diamond-shaped checkering on the handguard and the red threads along the edges. Up close you can make out a grid of diamonds, small technical markings on the receiver and a red dot beside the fire selector. On the edges of the handguard and receiver the gray layer is slightly lighter.

Where the M4A4 | Magnesium came from

The M4A4 | Magnesium entered the game on December 7, 2018. Valve's notes for the "Welcome to the Danger Zone" update say the Danger Zone Case holds 17 finishes made by the community.

What to check before buying

When you pick a listing of the M4A4 | Magnesium, these points matter:

• float: anywhere from 0.00 to 0.07 the gray metal looks the same, so the only difference between listings is the number;


• stickers from a previous owner, and a name tag on the M4A4 | Magnesium;


• StatTrak: the skin has a counter version, and it is a separate item.

The M4A4 | Magnesium has one pattern on every copy, so there are no rare examples.

Getting the M4A4 | Magnesium

The Danger Zone Case is the only source. No contract can yield it, because it sits at the bottom rank of the collection. A contract with it as an input leads on to the G3SG1 | Scavenger, Galil AR | Signal, MAC-10 | Pipe Down, P250 | Nevermore and USP-S | Flashback.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The M4A4 | Magnesium has a StatTrak version. The skin has no Souvenir version.

Stickers and craft on the M4A4 | Magnesium

The plain gray body is a neutral base on which almost any sticker reads well. The red threads along the handguard edges pick up red and pink stickers. Leave the checkering on the handguard and the markings on the receiver uncovered; the stock is free.

Who this wear suits

Buying the M4A4 | Magnesium here makes sense in these cases:

• you want a restrained gray rifle for CS2 with a clean surface;


• you want a neutral base for a sticker set;


• you want a Mil-Spec skin that sits nearer the middle of its row on price.
