The M4A4 Howl holds a legendary status in CS2 as the only Contraband skin in the game. After a copyright dispute shortly after release, the original design was replaced and the skin discontinued, making it permanently limited in supply and increasingly valuable.
This Factory New specimen features an exceptional float value of 0.01245, placing it in the top tier of Howl skins. The artwork is pristine with vibrant red and black coloration and minimal wear on the wolf design.
As one of the most prestigious skins in Counter-Strike history, the Howl continues to appreciate in value and remains a definitive status symbol among collectors and professional players alike.
