M4A1-S | Nitro

Origin Story

The M4A1-S | Nitro was released on November 27, 2013, as part of the "Out with the old, in with the new" update and is a member of The Safehouse Collection. This skin features individual parts spray-painted in black and tangerine orange. Its solid color finish provides a clean, two-tone appearance that emphasizes the rifle's silhouette.

Drop Chance

M4A1-S | Nitro 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 Safehouse 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. It is the only Restricted skin in the collection. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.

Skin Condition

Float range 0.06 to 0.8. Exteriors: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Minimal Wear ($1.84): The black and tangerine orange paint are mostly intact, showing only minor micro-scratches on sharp edges.
• Field-Tested ($0.54): Scratches and edge wear become more visible, with small patches of the underlying metal beginning to show on prominent edges, slightly dulling the orange.
• Well-Worn ($0.59): Larger worn patches appear on high-contact surfaces, with black areas showing pronounced edge wear and orange segments appearing more uneven.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.58): Extensive wear is present, with large sections of paint missing around the muzzle, handguard, and stock edges, producing a heavily distressed look with significant exposed metal.
