M4A4 | X-Ray (Factory New)

The M4A4 | X-Ray (Factory New) is a Covert rifle skin that paints the gun as if seen through an X-Ray — a gray body with the rifle's internals rendered right on the surface. Factory New is the top grade for this finish, showing that see-through blueprint effect at its most legible.

Design

X-Ray takes a custom-painted M4 and exposes what's underneath, laying the rifle's internal mechanisms over a muted gray shell for a technological, almost medical-scan look. It's an in-house Valve design, and the sci-fi X-Ray motif gives it a stripped-down identity that leans on the concept rather than loud color.

M4A4 | X-Ray (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish is float-capped at 0.30, so it tops out at Factory New rather than reaching Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred. In Factory New the gray plating stays even and the internal-diagram detail reads with full definition, with no scratching to muddy the fine lines. If you want every wire and component of the X-Ray effect to stand out, this is the grade to reach for.

M4A4 | X-Ray Rarity

Rarity: Covert — the red tier, the highest standard weapon grade in the game. Covert skins are a rare pull, sitting a full step above the pink Classified tier.

M4A4 | X-Ray Case and Collection

This skin belongs to The eSports 2013 Winter Collection and comes out of the eSports 2013 Winter Case, which arrived with the Winter Offensive update in December 2013. The Covert tier drops at roughly 0.64% from the case (a rate shared across the tier), and with this older case long gone from the active drop pool, supply is fixed — most copies now change hands on the market rather than from unboxing.

M4A4 | X-Ray Patterns

There's no random pattern variation on X-Ray — the internal-diagram artwork sits identically on every copy, so there's no paint seed or blue-gem chase to worry about. What separates one from another comes down to wear and float alone.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ M4A4 | X-Ray exists and adds a confirmed-kill counter that tracks your frags; it's a scarcer, pricier drop from the same case, and that counter is permanent, staying with the item through every trade and sale. There's no Souvenir version — Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament souvenir packages, and this finish was released through a case, never a Major drop.

M4A4 | X-Ray Price

Factory New sits at the top of the X-Ray price ladder as the highest grade the finish reaches — a clear step above Minimal Wear and Field-Tested. It's a premium pick within the M4A4 lineup without climbing into grail money. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Why is there no Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred X-Ray?

The finish is float-capped at 0.30, and the game never rolls a copy above that. Well-Worn starts at 0.38 and Battle-Scarred higher still, so those grades simply can't exist here — Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested are the only three conditions the skin comes in.

Is Factory New worth the premium over Minimal Wear?

If you care about the internal-diagram detail reading with maximum definition, yes — Factory New keeps every line sharp and the gray plating unmarked. That said, the difference to Minimal Wear is subtle, so budget-minded buyers often step down a grade and pocket the savings without losing much visually.

Which gloves go with the X-Ray?

Its cool gray-and-slate palette suits a muted, technical loadout, so gray, black, or steel-toned gloves work best — something like Slate or a graphite wrap keeps the clinical, scanned vibe intact. Avoid warm reds or golds; they fight the skin's cold, monochrome character.
