M4A1-S | Guardian

Origin Story

Winter Offensive dressed the M4A1-S for duty. Guardian is no-nonsense: cobalt plates, CT insignia, and a silhouette that reads clean at any angle. It looks like kit you’d actually be issued, which is why it still sells on trust and team pride.

Skin Condition

Float span 0.00–0.50

• Factory New (0.00–0.07) – rich cobalt, sharp CT stencil, clean receiver edges.
• Minimal Wear (0.07–0.15) – light rub at contact points; logo stays crisp.
• Field-Tested (0.15–0.38) – visible scuffs on upper receiver and stock; silhouette still reads disciplined.
• Well-Worn (0.38–0.45) – dulled blue and broader wear zones.
• Battle-Scarred (0.45–0.50) – heavy rub for a field-issued vibe some buyers chase.

Model

CS:GO legacy asset – Source 2’s contrast makes micro-wear show earlier, which is why low floats price stronger.

How to Obtain

Open a Winter Offensive Weapon Case, or set a Market buy and let a seller meet it. Third-party trades cover you when case supply tightens.

Price Range

Live listings trend $34.27–$77.55. Low-float FN/MW with strong cobalt and a tidy mag logo commands a premium. Heavier wear mutes the blue and compresses toward the floor.

Visual Theme

Custom Paint Job in service-blue with the CT magazine mark. CS2 lighting puts a hard edge on the panels, so the rifle stays legible in motion. Centered, intact stencil and a clean upper receiver list faster and often at stronger bids.
