M4A4 | X-Ray (Factory New)

The M4A4 | X-Ray in Factory New (FN) is a light rifle styled as an X-ray print, for CS2. It is Covert, from The eSports 2013 Winter Collection, and drops from the eSports 2013 Winter Case. The float band in this wear is 0.00 to 0.07, which is 23% of the skin's whole scale.

What the M4A4 | X-Ray looks like in Factory New

The background is silvery white and pale blue. Over it lie brown-gray and violet-blue translucent blotches, and the grip and the bottom of the magazine have a lilac cast. The "scan" covers the receiver, handguard, magazine, stock and grip. The front sight, the muzzle brake and part of the handguard are dark brown.

In the magazine window sits a dark spot with a white silhouette inside. It resembles the figure of an animal, but it cannot be made out for certain. Beside it are a blue round badge and an orange mark, and the lettering is illegible. The artwork itself looks faded, and light scuffs show along the edges of the receiver. Wear is fixed at the drop, and in Factory New there is almost none.

Where the M4A4 | X-Ray came from

Valve describes the skin as a painted M4 showing its insides in an X-ray. The finish came out in 2013, together with the winter collection eSports 2013 and the eSports 2013 Winter Case.

What to check before buying

Choosing a particular M4A4 | X-Ray rests on a few points:

• float: across 0.00 to 0.07 the edges of the receiver are equally clean, and the number picks nothing out;


• the applied name and stickers, if they are already on this M4A4 | X-Ray;


• version: the finish has a StatTrak edition, sold as a separate item.

There is no lucky pattern to hunt on the M4A4 | X-Ray: it is always the same.

What the M4A4 | X-Ray costs in Factory New

The skin has three wears: Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested. Minimal Wear and Field-Tested cost about one and a half times less than Factory New and barely differ from each other.

Among Covert M4A4 skins in this wear, the X-Ray stands in the middle of a row of thirteen. Cheaper are Temukau, Neo-Noir, In Living Color, The Battlestar and Desert-Strike. Full Throttle is dearer, and the top of the row is held by Buzz Kill, Eye of Horus and The Coalition.

Getting the M4A4 | X-Ray

This M4A4 comes out of the eSports 2013 Winter Case. To get the M4A4 | X-Ray by contract, you turn in ten skins one rank lower from the same collection. A Covert skin can also go in as raw material for a knife craft: five Covert skins of the collection yield one knife.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The M4A4 | X-Ray has a StatTrak version and no souvenir packages.

Stickers and craft on the M4A4 | X-Ray

The artwork covers almost the whole weapon and is busy with translucent blotches, so small stickers get lost on it. The light background of the "scan" takes large dark stickers well, and the dark parts of the handguard and front sight are best left free.

Who this wear suits

Buying the M4A4 | X-Ray in Factory New is worth it in these cases:

• you want a light M4A4 with the "scan" design and minimal wear;


• the short band of 0.00 to 0.07, where listings are nearly identical, suits you;


• you want a Covert skin from the 2013 collection in CS2.
