M4A1-S | Glitched Paint

Origin Story

The M4A1-S | Glitched Paint was released on April 1, 2025, as part of the Spring Forward update and is included in The Radiant Collection. Its design features a multicolored abstract paint pattern, as indicated by its in-game description. The skin's flavor text, "Please return to display after use," adds a unique touch to its presentation. This skin is characterized by a Spray-Paint finish, giving it a distinct visual texture.

Drop Chance

M4A1-S | Glitched Paint is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Radiant Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Restricted drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 2 other Restricted skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.
