M4A1-S | Black Lotus (Factory New)

The M4A1-S | Black Lotus (Factory New) is a Classified rifle skin — a black lotus flower painted over a blue and purple base. Factory New is the top grade, showing the artwork at its most saturated and detailed.

Design

Black Lotus sets a custom-painted black lotus flower against a base that shifts between blue and purple, a mystical, art-forward look rather than a busy graphic wrap. It's a community design by the artist moonfighter, and it carries an in-game line that nods to its theme: "Adds 2 kills during rifle round, then is discarded."

M4A1-S | Black Lotus (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish runs float 0.00–0.70, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of that range as the highest grade. Here the blue-to-purple gradient reads at full richness and the fine linework of the lotus stays crisp, with no scuffing on the body at all. For anyone who wants the design as close to flawless as it gets, this is the grade to reach for.

M4A1-S | Black Lotus Rarity

Rarity: Classified — the pink tier, second from the top of the standard weapon grades and sitting just below Covert. It's a genuinely uncommon grade to pull from a case.

M4A1-S | Black Lotus Case and Collection

Black Lotus belongs to The Kilowatt Collection and drops from the Kilowatt Case, which arrived in February 2024. Across that case the Classified tier unboxes about 3.2% of the time, a rate shared among the tier's skins, so most players end up buying the finish on the market rather than chasing it out of a case.

M4A1-S | Black Lotus Patterns

There's no random pattern variation on this finish — the lotus and the blue-purple base land the same way on every copy, so there's no paint seed or "blue gem" to hunt. Wear and float are the only things that tell one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ version exists from the Kilowatt Case and adds a confirmed-kill counter; it's a rarer, pricier drop than the standard skin, and the counter is permanent, carrying over when the item is traded or sold. There's no Souvenir variant — Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages, and this finish is unboxed from a case, so it was never handed out that way.

M4A1-S | Black Lotus Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Black Lotus price ladder as the highest grade available — a clear step above Minimal Wear, yet the skin as a whole lands in affordable mid-tier territory for the M4A1-S rather than grail money. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it over Minimal Wear?

If you want the artwork at its richest, yes. Factory New shows the blue-purple gradient and the lotus detail at their sharpest, with zero surface wear. That said, Minimal Wear looks almost identical for less, so pay up for Factory New only if top condition matters to you.

Does the Black Lotus have different phases or patterns?

No. The finish has no phases and no random pattern rolls — every copy places the black lotus and the blue-to-purple base identically. The only variables are the wear grade and the exact float, so there's nothing like a rare seed to seek out here.

Which gloves go with the Black Lotus?

Its blue-and-purple palette suits a cool-toned loadout, so blue or purple gloves work best — a violet pair echoes the base while blue wraps pick up the gradient. Neutral black gloves also keep the mystical vibe intact without fighting the artwork.
