M4A1-S | Black Lotus (Field-Tested)

The M4A1-S | Black Lotus (Field-Tested, FT) is a Classified rifle skin with a black lotus flower over a blue and purple base, here with a touch of honest wear. It's the most common, most accessible way to own the finish while keeping its signature look intact.

Design

At its core this is a black lotus flower painted over a base that runs from blue to purple — an artistic, mystical design that leans on atmosphere rather than clutter. It began as a community submission from the artist moonfighter, and it carries a fitting in-game line: "Adds 2 kills during rifle round, then is discarded."

M4A1-S | Black Lotus (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

On the finish's 0.00–0.70 float scale, Field-Tested lands in the middle. Light scratching shows up along the edges and around the barrel, but the lotus artwork and the blue-purple base still carry the look clearly, so the skin reads well from a normal viewing distance. This is the grade most buyers settle on — the balance point between condition and cost.

M4A1-S | Black Lotus Rarity

Rarity: Classified — the pink grade, ranked just beneath Covert and second from the top of the standard weapon tiers. Pulling one straight from a case is genuinely uncommon.

M4A1-S | Black Lotus Case and Collection

Part of The Kilowatt Collection, the skin drops from the Kilowatt Case that launched in February 2024. As a group the Classified tier unboxes about 3.2% of the time (that odds figure is shared across the tier), which pushes most demand onto the market instead of the case.

M4A1-S | Black Lotus Patterns

The finish carries no random pattern variation — the lotus and the blue-to-purple base sit the same way on every copy, so there's nothing like a paint seed or "blue gem" to track down. Copies differ only by their wear and float.

StatTrak & Souvenir

You can also find a StatTrak™ Black Lotus from the Kilowatt Case, which tacks on a confirmed-kill counter; it's scarcer and more expensive than the plain drop, and that counter is permanent, following the item through every trade or sale. A Souvenir edition doesn't exist — Souvenir weapons only come from Major-tournament packages, and a case skin like this was never distributed through a Major.

M4A1-S | Black Lotus Price

Field-Tested is the value entry into the range — cheaper than the higher grades while keeping the artwork readable, which is a big reason it's the most-traded version. The skin overall sits in affordable mid-tier territory for the M4A1-S, and this grade is the easy way in. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the Field-Tested Black Lotus look beat up?

Not really. You'll spot light scratching along the edges and near the barrel on close inspection, but the lotus flower and blue-purple base keep the design looking whole from a normal distance. For most players it's a great balance of appearance and price.

Is Field-Tested the best value Black Lotus?

Often, yes. It's noticeably cheaper than Minimal Wear (MW) and Factory New (FN) while still showing the artwork clearly, and it's the easiest grade to find on the market. Well-Worn (WW) and Battle-Scarred (BS) cost even less if you want the lowest entry price and don't mind heavier scuffing.

Which gloves suit the Black Lotus?

Its blue-and-purple palette calls for a cool-toned loadout, so blue or purple gloves work best — a violet pair mirrors the base while blue wraps echo the gradient. Black gloves are a safe neutral that keeps the mystical mood without competing with the lotus.
