M4A4 | Poseidon (Factory New)

The M4A4 | Poseidon (Factory New) is a Classified rifle skin that reimagines the M4A4 as a tribute to the Greek god of the sea — a deep blue body carrying a trident, classical temple imagery, and a clash between Pisces and Poseidon. Factory New is the cleanest, most coveted grade, rendering every line of that artwork at full clarity.

Design

Poseidon wraps the rifle in an aquatic, mythological scene: a blue-and-white base washed in sea tones, a raised trident, temple detailing, and a painted battle between Pisces and Poseidon. Valve built the finish in-house, leaning on marine motifs and a restrained palette that reads closer to fine art than a typical weapon graphic. It also carries a cryptic in-game line: "Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead."

M4A4 | Poseidon (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish rolls between 0.00 and 0.33, so Factory New sits at the very top of what it can reach. At this grade the blue tones stay rich and deep, the temple linework holds its detail, and there is no scuffing to interrupt the scene. For collectors who want this prestigious finish exactly as the artist intended, it is the definitive grade to own.

M4A4 | Poseidon Rarity

Rarity: Classified — the pink tier, second from the top of the standard weapon grades and one step under Covert. It is a genuinely scarce grade, and on a sought-after finish like this one that scarcity carries real weight.

M4A4 | Poseidon Case and Collection

Poseidon belongs to The Gods and Monsters Collection, introduced with Operation Bloodhound on May 26, 2015. There is no weapon case behind it — the finish comes to players through rare in-game drops and trade-up contracts rather than unboxing, which keeps supply tight and helps explain its elevated standing among M4A4 skins.

M4A4 | Poseidon Patterns

There is no random pattern variation here — the trident, temple, and Pisces artwork land in the same place on every copy, so there is no paint seed or blue-gem lottery to chase. Float and exterior are the only things that separate one Poseidon from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak version exists: that variant is seeded into weapon cases, and this finish has never shipped inside one. There is no Souvenir edition either, since Souvenir weapons are handed out only through Major-tournament souvenir packages, and Poseidon has never dropped from one. Every copy in circulation is the standard finish.

M4A4 | Poseidon Price

Factory New sits at the summit of the price ladder as the highest and rarest grade of an already high-end finish — comfortably in grail-tier territory for the M4A4 and among the most prestigious skins the rifle offers. It is available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Why is Factory New the grade collectors want?

Because the artwork is the whole point. At Factory New the blue tones stay saturated and the temple and trident detail read with no interruption from wear, so the finish looks exactly as designed. It is also the rarest exterior on the float ladder, which stacks scarcity on top of an already coveted skin.

Which gloves go with Poseidon?

Its deep blue, sea-themed palette rewards a cool-toned loadout, so blue or teal gloves pair naturally — think aqua or ocean-blue wraps that echo the finish. Neutral white or slate gloves also work if you want the artwork to lead. It slots neatly into a blue-accented setup alongside other water or gem-toned skins.

Is the Factory New Poseidon a good investment?

It has the hallmarks collectors look for — a Classified grade, no case behind it, no StatTrak or Souvenir flooding supply, and top-of-ladder condition. That combination of scarcity and prestige is why it commands grail-tier money among M4A4 finishes, though as always any skin's value can move with the market.
