M4A4 | Poly Mag

Origin Story

The M4A4 | Poly Mag features a custom paint job with a clear polymer magazine and a tan stock, hand guard, and grip. This design gives the M4A4 a modern, tactical service rifle appearance, reinforced by its "Standard operating procedure" flavor text. Released on July 1, 2022, as part of The Recoil Collection with the "A New Cassssssse" update, it presents a utilitarian aesthetic. The skin's color scheme and clear magazine offer a distinct visual identity for players seeking a grounded, military-inspired look.

Drop Chance

M4A4 | Poly Mag is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Recoil Case: approximately 11.42% per opening (roughly 1 in 9). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 7 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.14% from the Recoil Case (about 1 in 88). 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 ($2.49): The tan stock, handguard, and grip appear fully solid and clean, with the clear polymer magazine looking smooth and unblemished.
• Minimal Wear ($0.25): Light edge scuffing begins to appear on the front of the handguard and stock edges, while the clear magazine retains its transparency with minor wear.
• Field-Tested ($0.13): Moderate edge wear becomes visible on the handguard, barrel, and stock, with the tan areas showing patchy fading along high-contact lines.
• Well-Worn ($0.09): Tan surfaces exhibit larger, more continuous worn patches on corners and the front handguard, and black metal parts show more visible scratches.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.09): Extensive wear is present with significant portions of tan paint chipped or thinned, and the clear magazine appears heavily scuffed and degraded.
