M4A4 | Asiimov

Origin Story

Few skins in Counter-Strike history are as instantly recognizable as the M4A4 | Asiimov. Released on 18 December 2013 as part of The Winter Offensive Collection, this futuristic design helped define what “premium” CS:GO skins could look like. Inspired by high-contrast sci-fi art, the Asiimov became an icon for both collectors and pro players, its bold white-orange-black scheme embodying a clean, high-tech aesthetic that remains timeless even a decade later.

Drop Chance

Using Valve’s rarity framework:

Total Covert-tier probability: 0.64 %
The Winter Offensive Case contains two Covert rifles – the M4A4 | Asiimov and AWP | Redline.
Thus:

Per-skin drop probability: ≈ 0.32 %

StatTrak™ chance: ≈ 0.032 %

This makes StatTrak™ Asiimovs an exceptionally rare pull, often valued by both competitive players and collectors.

Skin Condition

Float Range: 0.18 – 1.00

• Available Exteriors: Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred
• This unique float restriction is part of what makes the M4A4 | Asiimov distinct. Even the cleanest available (Field-Tested) version shows slight wear by design – an intentional choice to preserve its “battle-hardened sci-fi” aesthetic.

Model

Model: CS:GO (Legacy)
Added: 18 December 2013
Update: Winter Offensive

As one of the first major “Custom Paint Job” designs, Asiimov’s clean vector-style pattern pushed CS:GO’s artistic standards forward. In CS2, improved surface reflections and light diffusion bring a subtle metallic sheen to the once-flat design, enhancing its already legendary look.

How to Obtain

The skin is obtained from the Winter Offensive Weapon Case, which was part of the Winter Offensive Update. This case is no longer in the active drop pool, making it a legacy Covert skin. It is available in Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred exteriors only – Factory New and Minimal Wear do not exist for this pattern due to its limited float range.

Both standard and StatTrak™ versions are available, though StatTrak™ listings, particularly in Field-Tested condition, are highly sought after and often command significantly higher prices.

Price Range

$124.39 – $881.49
With current market dynamics, prices vary widely depending on wear and StatTrak™ status.
Field-Tested versions average around $362, while StatTrak™ Field-Tested listings can reach $630+. Battle-Scarred versions trade near the $100 range, with significant variance based on pattern quality and float value.
