M4A4 | Spider Lily (Well-Worn)

Well-Worn (WW) is the second step from the bottom of the M4A4 | Spider Lily scale. Its float band is 0.38 to 0.45 out of 0.00 to 1.00, only 7% of it. Restricted rank; an M4A4 for the Counter-Terrorist side, from the Operation Riptide Collection.

What the M4A4 | Spider Lily looks like in Well-Worn

The artwork is gathered in one place. Scarlet spider lilies lie on the side of the receiver by the magazine window, while the dark blue handguard is covered with turquoise swirls. The magazine is steel-gray, the stock light gray, and a gold plate sits on the muzzle.

Wear on this skin is set when it drops, and in Well-Worn it is easy to see. It runs along the edges: the corners of the receiver and handguard turn pale, and the red threads on the raised parts break before the flowers do. The flowers on the flat of the receiver can still be read one at a time.

Where the M4A4 | Spider Lily came from

Strenson drew the finish, and its number in Valve's catalog is 1097. The M4A4 | Spider Lily was released on September 21, 2021, and the Operation Riptide Collection opened the same day.

What to check before buying

Copies of the M4A4 | Spider Lily differ in these ways:

• float: toward the 0.45 limit there are more pale areas;


• stickers and a name tag the previous owner may have left;


• how intact the red threads are on the edges of the handguard.

The artwork is the same on every copy of the M4A4 | Spider Lily, and pattern index does not affect the price. The band of 0.38 to 0.45 is tight, and the listings at its two ends differ only by the number.

What the M4A4 | Spider Lily costs in Well-Worn

Factory New costs 8.04 times as much, Minimal Wear 2.26 times and Field-Tested 1.42 times. Battle-Scarred is cheaper by 1.13 times. This is the second-cheapest wear, and the cheapest is only a short step away.

Among Restricted M4A4 skins this one is in the middle: of ten finishes, five are cheaper and four are dearer. M4A4 | Polysoup costs one and a half times more, M4A4 | Griffin almost the same, and M4A4 | Evil Daimyo about half. At the top are M4A4 | Zirka, M4A4 | Modern Hunter and M4A4 | Daybreak, and Daybreak is dearer by hundreds of times.

Getting the M4A4 | Spider Lily

The main source is the Operation Riptide Case. The trade-up route to the M4A4 | Spider Lily runs through ten skins one rank down from the collection. With such ten the chance is one in five, because the collection has five Restricted finishes.

StatTrak and Souvenir

A StatTrak version of the skin exists, and there are no Souvenir packages. A Souvenir copy can be assembled through the Souvenir-O-Matic.

Stickers and craft on the M4A4 | Spider Lily

On the light stock and the dark blue handguard, stickers show up well. On the receiver they would sit over the lilies and cover the artwork, so it makes sense to keep them small there.

Who this wear suits

Well-Worn on the M4A4 | Spider Lily is justified in these cases:

• you want an M4A4 for CS2 with readable flowers at a price 1.42 times below Field-Tested;


• in CS2 a recognizable lily on the receiver is enough, pale edges and all;


• Battle-Scarred is cheaper by only 1.13 times, which does not justify the heavier wear.
