M4A4 | Radiation Hazard (Factory New)

The M4A4 | Radiation Hazard (Factory New) is a Mil-Spec rifle skin that spray-paints radiological warning imagery — yellow-and-black hazard stripes and caution symbols — across a dark body. Factory New is the top grade the finish offers, showing that warning artwork at its sharpest and most saturated.

Design

Radiation Hazard is a Valve in-house finish built around industrial warning imagery — a dark body spray-painted with bold yellow-and-black hazard stripes and radiological caution symbols. The look leans on stark, high-visibility contrast rather than intricate artwork, giving it a utilitarian, caution-tape character that's instantly readable across a map.

M4A4 | Radiation Hazard (Factory New) Float and Wear

With a float floor of 0.06, Factory New is the highest grade on offer and comes in a fairly tight window. At this level the yellow warning stripes sit fully saturated against the dark base and there's no visible scratching, so the hazard graphics read at their boldest. If you want the design exactly as intended, this is the top of the ladder.

M4A4 | Radiation Hazard Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue tier, the entry rung of the standard weapon grades and the most common you'll come across. It's an accessible grade rather than a rare one, which keeps the finish approachable.

M4A4 | Radiation Hazard Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The Nuke Collection, which arrived with the Arms Deal update in August 2013. The collection isn't tied to a weapon case — plain copies come from in-game drops and trade-up contracts, while special Souvenir editions were distributed in Nuke Souvenir Packages at Major tournaments. Within a package draw the Mil-Spec tier is by far the most common, pulling somewhere around 80% of the time.

M4A4 | Radiation Hazard Patterns

There's no random pattern element to Radiation Hazard — the hazard stripes and warning symbols land in the same spot on every copy, so there's no paint seed or blue-gem variant to chase. What separates one unit from another is purely float and wear.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak version of this skin. StatTrak weapons are generated only inside weapon cases, and this finish has never been offered in one, so a kill-counter edition doesn't exist. A Souvenir version does, though — Souvenir weapons come from Major-tournament packages, and this finish was included in the Nuke Souvenir Packages handed out at events like ESL One Cologne 2014.

M4A4 | Radiation Hazard Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Radiation Hazard price ladder as the highest and priciest grade available. Within the M4A4 lineup the finish lands in the premium bracket — a step above the workhorse skins without reaching grail money. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is the Factory New Radiation Hazard worth the premium?

If you want the hazard graphics at their most vivid, yes. Factory New shows the yellow-and-black striping fully saturated with no scratches, and it's the highest grade the finish reaches. That said, the design hides wear well, so a Minimal Wear copy looks almost identical for less — pay up only if top condition matters to you.

Does a Factory New copy have a wide float range?

Not especially. The finish has a float floor of 0.06, so Factory New occupies a narrow window near the low end of the scale. That keeps the surface consistent across Factory New copies, with the warning stripes displaying at their brightest and most defined.

Which gloves suit the Radiation Hazard?

Its yellow-on-black hazard palette pairs well with an industrial, high-visibility loadout. Black gloves keep the focus on the striping, while gloves with yellow or hazard-style accents echo the caution-tape theme directly. Anything in a dark, utilitarian tone complements the finish's warning-sign character.
