Released in January 2016 via the Operation Wildfire Case, the M4A4 | The Battlestar sits at the Covert tier within The Wildfire Collection.

The float range for this finish is restricted to 0.00–0.64, so Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred are the only obtainable conditions on the open market. The restricted range is set by Valve at the time of release.

A StatTrak™ version is available, which tracks confirmed kills made while the skin is equipped and typically commands a premium over the standard finish. Active listings for M4A4 | The Battlestar are tracked across 18 marketplaces, with prices spanning $28.44 to $248.40 depending on wear, variant, and seller.
