The M4A1-S is an M4 Carbine weapon variant with a silencer for the CTs. It gives players a decent advantage through its silencer; some even think it feels much better than the default M4A4. At least most of the M4A1-S skins are cheaper than its M4A4 brother.

If you think the M4A1-S is the best weapon in CS:GO, or if you just really love using the gun,  you’re in for a treat today. Here are the 10 best M4A1-S skins that you can buy in 2023.

In my eyes, the M4A1-S Hyper Beast holds the crown as the best M4A1-S skin in CS:GO. It provides great detail of a beastly creature with its sharp fangs, deadly eyes, and slithering tongue. It also brings a lot of color to the M4A1-S with various shades of blue, green, red, and orange.

The M4A1-S Hyper Beast is a sight to behold and will definitely have you standing out in-game and your teammates asking you to drop them skins. If you want to go all out, it also has a StatTrak™ variant that costs a little over two and a half the base price.

In the 8th spot, I’ve got the M4A1-S Chantico’s Fire skin. Chantico’s Fire is one of the most elegant-looking skins for the M4A1-S in CS:GO. Nothing screams “royalty” more than red and gold, which the skin has in abundance.

The weapon is covered in traditional Aztec ornaments and is based on their Goddess of Fire, Chantico. You can also spot “Chantico” written on the buttstock of the weapon made in the form of a smiley. You can get StatTrak™ variants of the Chantico’s Fire skin for just under double the base price.
