M4A4 | Spider Lily

Origin Story

The M4A4 | Spider Lily, released on September 22, 2021, as part of The Operation Riptide Collection, stands out for its bold visual identity. The community widely regards it as a premium skin within its collection, frequently praised for its detailed artwork and strong color contrast. Its aesthetic appeal makes it a desirable item for collectors and a popular choice as a craft base for various sticker themes.

Drop Chance

M4A4 | Spider Lily is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Operation Riptide Case: approximately 3.20% per opening (roughly 1 in 31). The 15.98% Restricted tier rate is split across 5 Restricted skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.32% from the Operation Riptide Case (about 1 in 313). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($134.96): Colors appear deep and saturated, with the dark blue base looking smooth and the red spider lilies crisp and fully detailed. This is treated as the premium tier, often targeted by collectors.
• Minimal Wear ($24.90): Overall very close to Factory New, with full artwork intact and strong color; minor edge wear may begin on high-contact areas like the barrel and magwell. This tier is frequently cited as the value/premium compromise.
• Field-Tested ($12.95): Noticeable but moderate edge wear and small chips, especially around the front handguard, barrel, and stock; the red lily artwork remains easily recognizable and still visually dominant. This is likely the mainstream playskin tier.
• Well-Worn ($9.40): Expect heavier wear on edges and flat surfaces, with the blue base looking more washed and larger patches of exposed material; lilies may start to look slightly faded but are still readable. This is often a budget choice.
• Battle-Scarred ($8.53): The core pattern remains recognizable, but the dark blue appears significantly faded, with substantial wear on the barrel, handguard, and stock; lilies may look muted and partially worn at edges. This is mainly used as a cheapest entry tier.

Visual Theme

Gunsmith: It has been custom painted with a dark blue base and red spider lilies above the magazine and trigger. The design features a dark navy blue base contrasted sharply with bright red spider lilies and lighter highlights. In a first-person view, the cluster of red spider lilies around the magwell and trigger area is the most visible element. This skin is compared to other floral or art-forward Gunsmith skins, sharing a similar aesthetic to designs like the USP-S | Black Lotus.
