M4A1-S | Welcome to the Jungle

Origin Story

The M4A1-S Welcome to the Jungle, released on December 3, 2020, with Operation Broken Fang, is a high-tier skin from The Ancient Collection. Its custom paint job features ancient iconography and a golden pit viper set against a dusk-tinted jungle background. This skin is consistently regarded as a status item, frequently discussed in the context of rare souvenir drops and investment rather than casual play. The prominent golden pit viper coiled along the main body and the detailed ancient patterns make it a visually distinct and sought-after M4A1-S. It is often grouped with other high-end Ancient Collection skins like the AK-47 Panthera onca as a centerpiece for expensive loadouts.

Drop Chance

M4A1-S | Welcome to the Jungle is Covert, a Red-tier skin, the rarest standard drop grade. It has appeared across 8 tournament packages, most recently the Rio 2022 Ancient Souvenir Package, Shanghai 2024 Ancient Souvenir Package, and Stockholm 2021 Ancient Souvenir Package.


Souvenir Packages are awarded to viewers watching live Major matches on the corresponding map, not opened from cases, so Valve doesn't publish per-skin drop odds. Each package contains one item from The Ancient Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Covert skins like Welcome to the Jungle are a small fraction of total package contents. New copies only enter the market when a recipient chooses to open their package, so supply trickles in over time even after the tournament ends.
