M4A1-S | Night Terror

M4A1-S | Night Terror released January 20, 2022 as part of the Dreams & Nightmares Case.

It originally released during the CS:GO era, before Valve's Counter-Strike 2 relaunch in September 2023 — its artwork, wear range, and source carried over unchanged into CS2.

It launched as a Restricted-tier finish, with both a StatTrak™ and a Souvenir edition.

As a finish, "Night Terror" is applied to the M4A1-S — the Counter-Terrorists' suppressed carbine, trading magazine size for reduced recoil and a quieter shot — and carries the purple rarity color every Restricted-tier skin shares on the Steam Market and in-game.

That Restricted classification places it in the middle of the rarity ladder — rarer than Mil-Spec Grade, but short of the Classified and Covert tiers above it.

M4A1-S | Night Terror ships in all five wear conditions, but its float is capped between 0.00 and 0.70 — narrower than the full 0.00–1.00 range some other skins allow.

As with every CS2 skin, lower float values look cleaner: Factory New copies (roughly below 0.07 float) show the finish at its sharpest, while Field-Tested and Well-Worn pieces make up the most commonly traded middle ground between mint and heavily worn.

M4A1-S | Night Terror comes from the Dreams & Nightmares Case — it's part of a Case currently cycling through CS2's weekly Prime drop pool, so it's obtainable through free drops as well as opening the Case.

Valve's own published Case odds put a Restricted-tier pull like this one at roughly 1 in 31 (3.1960%).

There's both a StatTrak™ and a Souvenir edition of this finish, alongside the Normal version — three ways to own the same look, differing only in that badge.

Beyond that, there's no separate "phase" or pattern family tied to this finish in the site's data — it's tracked as a single fixed look across every wear condition it ships in.

As a Restricted-tier finish, M4A1-S | Night Terror sits among the more common pulls from the Dreams & Nightmares Case rather than being a chase item — a straightforward, affordable way to add a M4A1-S skin to a loadout or collection.

Its StatTrak™ and Souvenir editions tend to trade at a premium over the Normal version, the same pattern seen across most CS2 skins with that variant available.

M4A1-S | Night Terror has been part of the Dreams & Nightmares Case since January 20, 2022, and like every CS:GO-era CS2 skin, carried over unchanged when Valve relaunched the game on the Source 2 engine in 2023 — the artwork, wear range, and source Case/Collection are the same today as they were before the migration.

It's one of 5 Restricted-tier items in the Dreams & Nightmares Case, out of 17 items total.

This is one of 46 M4A1-S skins currently listed on the site, spanning multiple rarity tiers.
