The Best M4A1-S Skins - From Cheapest to Priciest
There's a skin for everyone!While it’s true that the M4A1-S is currently underused in the Counter-Strike 2 meta, this has opened the door to finding some of the best looking M4A1S skins for a lot less money than usual.
Here is our complete list of M4A1-S skins, ranging from the best cheap skins, to some good intermediate choices, and finally with the most premium skins.
1 . M4A1-S | Hyper Beast (Field-Tested)

The Hyper Beast was a game-changer in M4A1-S skins and drove people away from the Cyrex when it was released. It depicts an awesome image of a colorful, snarling beast on a background of blue. It’s undoubtedly a gorgeous weapon skin and one of the best the M4A1-S has.
2 . M4A1-S | Cyrex (Factory New)

The Cyrex used to be the de facto best M4A1-S skin in CS:GO before a flood of competitors game in. This and the AK-47 Vulcan were the kings of their time. Still, though, it is a stunning weapon that has a really nice color combination of red, white and black.
4 . M4A1-S | Basilisk (Factory New)

The M4A1 Basilisk is a classic skin for the gun and has been around for a while. Despite that, it remains one of the nicest-looking skins on this list, and for under $5 you really can’t go wrong with a skin that depicts a fierce Basilisk on the body of the weapon.
5 . M4A1-S | Nightmare (Well-Worn)

A harrowing M4A1-S skin to rival the haunting beauty of the Icarus Fell, this gun coat combines an electric blue on a dark background to produce a truly gorgeous skin. A mysterious beast occupies the center of the gun, where we imagine the inspiration for the name “Nightmare” came from.
6 . M4A1-S | Chantico's Fire (Field-Tested)

One of our personal favorites in terms of M4A1S skins is the Chantico’s Fire. It’s still an affordable skin but is easily one of the best-looking skins you can get for this gun. The vibrant color scheme catches eyes and is a great addition to an inventory.
7 . M4A1-S | Briefing (Field-Tested)
View Skin![M4A1-S | Briefing (Field-Tested)](https://static.totalcsgo.com/totalcsgo-strapi/m4a1_s_briefing_field_tested_7ce281207e.png)
The briefing is a silenced M4 skin that hasn’t been in the game for that long, yet can be purchased for a very affordable price. It’s one of the best-looking cheap M4A1S skins and has an interesting pattern and nice color scheme of gray, red and blue.
8 . M4A1-S | Leaded Glass (Field-Tested)
View Skin![M4A1-S | Leaded Glass (Field-Tested)](https://static.totalcsgo.com/totalcsgo-strapi/m4a1_s_leaded_glass_field_tested_942ba05900.png)
The M4A1-S Leaded Glass is an explosion of color that really looks like a CS:GO skin that ought to be more expensive than it is. You can get the minimal wear version of this skin for under $5!
9 . M4A1-S | VariCamo (Field-Tested)
View Skin![M4A1-S | VariCamo (Field-Tested)](https://static.totalcsgo.com/totalcsgo-strapi/m4a1_s_varicamo_field_tested_c26961742b.png)
When you think of what a CS:GO skin should be - should actually be - then you’d think of weapon camouflage. If you’re the sort of player who wants to carry this theme on with your inventory, then the VariCamo M4A1-S is a very affordable option to do so.
10 . M4A1-S | Flashback (Factory New)
View Skin![M4A1-S | Flashback (Factory New)](https://static.totalcsgo.com/totalcsgo-strapi/m4a1_s_flashback_factory_new_aa4b30fdd8.png)
A rifle for the peaceful among you, the M4A1-S Flashback stands out in a game of battle and war as a totem of peace. With several heart-warming messages on the skin, such as the phrase “Make Love Not War” and even the globally recognisable peace symbol, this skin is a great addition to CS:GO. It’s especially pertinent belonging to the Counter-Terrorist side.
11 . M4A1-S | Basilisk (Field-Tested)

You can't go wrong with the Basilisk. It's the Maserati of skins - sleek and simple - but with the StatTrak edition under $10, you'd be thinking it's the Dacia of skins it's so cheap!
12 . M4A1-S | Nitro (Field-Tested)
View Skin![M4A1-S | Nitro (Field-Tested)](https://static.totalcsgo.com/totalcsgo-strapi/m4a1_s_nitro_field_tested_e8496473ed.png)
The M4A1S Nitro is a simple skin that keeps things elegant with a color scheme of just orange and black - two colors that go extremely well together. The orange is subtle but contrasts so well with the black that this is definitely one of the best cheapest M4A1-S skins. The best news? You can get the minimal wear version of this skin for under $1!
13 . M4A1-S | Decimator (Minimal Wear)
View Skin![M4A1-S | Decimator (Minimal Wear)](https://static.totalcsgo.com/totalcsgo-strapi/m4a1_s_decimator_minimal_wear_f02bf9f24f.png)
With a perfect balance of blue and purple, this pretty M4A1-S skin completely decimates the competition. It's not only looks that give this gun a one-up on the other M4A1-S skins, though, it's price too. At under $5 for some M4A1-S Decimator's, you're missing out if you haven't got this in your loadout.
14 . M4A1-S | Blood Tiger (Minimal Wear)
View Skin![M4A1-S | Blood Tiger (Minimal Wear)](https://static.totalcsgo.com/totalcsgo-strapi/m4a1_s_blood_tiger_minimal_wear_5cda4236a2.png)
The dark red patches on this skin contrast very well with the dark gray color of the body. Tigers are successful predators, and people who own this gun are no-doubt successful predators too, so it goes within saying that I'd much rather face a tiger than a player with this skin!
15 . M4A1-S | Mecha Industries (Battle-Scarred)

Looking straight out of a factory is the Mecha Industries silenced M4. It fuses the white and black together to look the business and a skin you’d want in any situation.
16 . M4A1-S | Guardian (Factory New)
View Skin![M4A1-S | Guardian (Factory New)](https://static.totalcsgo.com/totalcsgo-strapi/m4a1_s_guardian_factory_new_553b3af14a.png)
The Guardian is a classic, and it shares its name of a great CS:GO player (GuardiaN). Whilst the Guardian is by no means the most extravagant M4A1-S, we think it's perfect to fill the gap between the bright flashy skins, and the dull cheap skins (cough Army Sheen cough).
