M4A4 | Temukau (Battle-Scarred)

The M4A4 | Temukau in Battle-Scarred (BS) covers floats 0.45 to 0.80. The skin's scale ends at 0.80, and this band is 44% of the whole range. It is a Covert skin from The Revolution Collection and drops from the Revolution Case. Players call it the "Temukau" M4, and in CS2 it is recognized by its anime artwork.

What the M4A4 | Temukau looks like in Battle-Scarred

The base is white with light-blue panels and pink lines. A girl with lilac hair in a gray-green flight suit fills the side of the receiver, with panels of large hieroglyphs running around her. The handguard and stock repeat the white and light-blue stripes without the figure; the barrel is dark and the front sight pink. Japanese characters and a round pink seal reading START can be made out. The art is laid out like a manga spread, not like a sticker.

White panels get dirty along the edges: the corner of the receiver, the handguard ribs and the bottom of the magazine darken first. The face and figure lie on a flat surface and hold up longest. In Battle-Scarred the scuffs on the edges are already clear, while the girl stays readable. How worn a copy is gets decided at the drop and does not grow after that.

Where the M4A4 | Temukau came from

The finish is by f0rnez. He submitted "M4A4 | Temukau V2" to the Steam Workshop on November 10, 2022, describing it as a second version with fixes and polished textures. On the artwork, in the author's words, a counter-terrorist girl beats back a rush: grenades fly, she has to run through smoke, but she has to hold her ground. In the game, The Revolution Collection opened on February 10, 2023, and the skin was there from day one. Valve wrote that the Revolution Case holds 17 finishes from community artists. The finish's number in the catalog is 1228.

What to check before buying

This wear is the 0.45 to 0.80 band, wide enough that copies can wear very differently. Before buying, check the following:

• float: at the lower edge of the band the white panels are cleaner;


• stickers on the receiver, and a name tag if one is fitted.

The Temukau has no pattern variants, so there is nothing to choose by pattern.

What the M4A4 | Temukau costs in Battle-Scarred

Factory New costs more than three times as much. Minimal Wear costs almost twice as much, Field-Tested about a fifth more, and Well-Worn a twentieth more.

Of twelve Covert M4A4s with a price in this wear, the skin is among the three cheapest: only M4A4 | Full Throttle and M4A4 | Neo-Noir cost less. Nine cost more, among them M4A4 | The Battlestar, M4A4 | Desert-Strike and M4A4 | In Living Color. At the top are M4A4 | The Coalition, M4A4 | Eye of Horus and M4A4 | Buzz Kill.

Getting the M4A4 | Temukau

The skin is in the Revolution Case. There is a contract route too: ten skins of the rank below go in from anywhere, and the result comes from the set of one of them. Ten entirely from The Revolution Collection is the player's choice, and it steers the result toward that collection. A Covert skin can also go into a craft for a rare special item ★.

StatTrak and Souvenir

In CS2 the M4A4 | Temukau has a StatTrak version. No Souvenir packages include it, but you can build a Souvenir copy yourself through the Souvenir-O-Matic.

Stickers and craft on the M4A4 | Temukau

The girl and the hieroglyphs take up the receiver, so stickers are best kept on the handguard and stock, where the artwork is calmer. The white field accepts dark stickers, and pink and light-blue ones continue the panels.

Who this wear suits

This wear of the M4A4 | Temukau is a reasonable buy if:

• you want a Covert skin with anime artwork at a low price for its rank;


• scuffing on the edges of the white panels does not bother you, and a readable figure matters;


• you want the StatTrak version.
