What each of these is known for:

• Howl (Contraband, ; Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn only): A snarling wolf in red and orange. It was pulled from cases in 2014 over a copyright issue, which made it the only Contraband skin; no new ones can be unboxed.

• The Emperor (Covert, Prisma Case; all five wears): A lion-headed emperor portrait in rich reds and gold.
• Asiimov (Covert, Winter Offensive Weapon Case; no Factory New or Minimal Wear): The white, orange and black Asiimov look on the M4A4.
• Neo-Noir (Covert, Clutch Case; all five wears): Comic noir art in black, white and red, matching the other Neo-Noir skins.
• Temukau (Covert, Revolution Case; all five wears): Colourful masked-character art in bright blues and pinks.

• Buzz Kill (Covert, Glove Case; all five wears): Yellow and black wasp graphics.
• Desolate Space (Classified, Gamma Case; all five wears): An astronaut in a lonely space scene, one of the most loved M4A4 artworks.

Tips before you buy an M4A4 skin

• Pick between the M4A4 and M4A1-S first: most players use one and rarely buy both.
• The Howl can never be unboxed again, so all supply is already in inventories.
