M4A4 | 龍王 (Dragon King)

Origin Story

The M4A4 | 龍王 (Dragon King) first appeared in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on 8 January 2015, introduced as part of the Chroma Collection during the Full Spectrum update. Designed by community artist TheHoneyBadger, this skin fuses traditional East Asian artistry with a modern CS:GO aesthetic. The fiery red and blue dragon wrapping around the rifle’s body symbolizes strength and ferocity – a weapon fit for royalty on the battlefield.

Drop Chance

Classified as a Classified Rifle, the Dragon King has an approximate 3.2% drop rate within its rarity tier, and around 1% overall drop chance per case opening. StatTrak versions are even rarer, appearing in roughly 10% of Classified drops.

Dragon King’s design channels classic Chinese mythological art – a red dragon rising through swirling blue clouds. The contrasting palette and sharp lines make it one of the most visually balanced M4A4 finishes ever created, offering equal appeal to both collectors and players who value style during clutch plays.
