M4A4 | Ryk (mocne zużycie)

The M4A4 | Howl is an iconic CS:GO skin known for its fiery design. The gun is covered in a orange-red flame pattern over a black base, accompanied by the image of a howling wolf. It's part of the Huntsman Collection and was released in the Huntsman Weapon Case in May 2014.

The Howl skin is deemed 'Contraband' – the rarest of all CS:GO skin classifications. The skin was moved from Covert to Contraband rarity when it was redesigned in June 2014. This change makes the Howl incredibly rare and highly sought after by players.

The M4A4 | Howl was introduced in May 2014, but gained historic significance in June 2014, when it was involved in a copyright infringement controversy resulting in a redesign. More about this event can be found at the M4A4 Howl Copyright Controversy article.

The Howl is incredibly popular due to its rarity, design, and the historical significance stemming from the copyright controversy. It is one of the few skins with a story that extends beyond the game itself.

This skin is exclusively designed for the M4A4 rifle.

What makes the Howl skin unique is not only the design, but also the Contraband rarity which resulted from a legal dispute. Additionally, the image of the howling wolf sets it apart from other skins.

The M4A4 | Howl was released as part of the Huntsman Weapon Case in May 2014.

The Howl skin was only available in the Huntsman Weapon Case for a short period of time before its redesign and upgrade to Contraband.

Designed by Valve.

The Howl's design is a detailed, high-quality professional print, illustrating a sense of speed and urgency through the use of red flames. The howling wolf is heavily stylized, adding to the appeal.

The Howl is rated highly for its aesthetics and colour scheme. Many players consider it to be the most coveted skin, and it often trades for very high prices.

The M4A4 | Howl is historically significant in the world of CS:GO due to its contraband status following a copyright infringement.

The popularity of the Howl is due to its vibrant design, contraband status and the notoriety it gained from the copyright infringement controversy.

The copyright infringement case regarding the original design of Howl led to a significant event in CS:GO history. More details can be found at M4A4 Howl Copyright Controversy.

The Howl skin was designed as a collaborative effort that later led to a copyright claim, redesign, and an increase in rarity.

The Howl symbolizes ferocity, speed, and power, perfectly represented by the blazing design and iconic howling wolf image.

Players often feel an intense emotional attachment to the Howl due to its rare and unique status within the gaming community.

The Howl's copyright controversy and subsequent changes had a profound impact on the CS:GO community, leading to greater scrutiny of skin designs.

Despite its high cost, the Howl is prominently seen in professional CS:GO matches, adorning the rifles of many successful esports players.

Many players share stories of their ‘white whale’ chase for the Howl, highlighting the skin’s rarity and subsequent desirability.
