Custom Sticker Placement Combination Guide #30: The Wolf's M4A4 | Howl!
Do you still remember when Custom Sticker Placement had just been introduced? The community came up with quite a few excellent craft combinations back then. Do you remember the old White Howl? (For the full craft details, search: How to Make Your Own “M4A4 | Howl”)
White Wolf M4A4 | Howl
A more expressive, easier-to-make, and lower-cost Wolf Howl craft! The core of this setup is no longer the expensive First Blood, but the cheaper sticker Chomp. One First Blood costs about the same as eight Chomps. You need its Easter Egg! You also need three Broken Fang stickers. Scrape Chomp and Broken Fang until the Easter Egg shows, as illustrated. Choose an M4A4 | Magnesium; Magnesium's white flames pair perfectly with the white Easter Egg, making it look like a burning wolf spirit. Place Chomp in the position shown. Layer one Broken Fang over the top of Chomp, then use another below it to cover one of Chomp's eyes while creating the other eye above. Finally, rotate the third Broken Fang and place it in the center of the two Broken Fang stickers to complete the craft.
The design has a very strong sense of depth, with the snarling wolf and the flames complementing each other perfectly.
Kelp Hairstyle
StickerChizi 2The design looks like a burning orb, but the solid-color effect on its own is fairly simple, so you can use five of them to give Eye of the Ninja a new hairstyle! Because the Glock-18 offers a lot of placement freedom, you can rotate the stickers and place them along the top of the weapon so the flame pattern hangs downward, creating a seaweed-style haircut.
Light blue seaweed hairstyle.
Pattern Gold Guns
With just four Fnatic stickers, you can create a patterned gold-gun craft. Gold stickers work especially well on USP-S | Royal Consort: its gold-and-blue color scheme is a perfect match for the gold floral design. Likewise, Fnatic stickers in other finishes work well with warm-toned skins, such as The Hanged Man, Check Engine, and USP-S | Orion.
At certain angles, this gives off excellent light reflections! Since both the metallic gold trim texture and the sticker are gold, it really shines under the light.
Also, the star of the next craft is USP-S | Shoreline. Its gold-trimmed suppressor works really well with this combo too:
But the next combo for it uses holographic leaves! This skin features tropical green foliage with gold detailing, built around a green finish with gold flowers dotted across it. Use the Easter Egg on the Flick | Sunset Ocean sticker to create holographic leaves! Pick five Flick | Sunset Ocean stickers, then scrape the waves down to their color-shifting state (this is the only sticker in the Flick series that can have its black ring scraped away). Place the holographic waves across the weapon body as shown to complete the craft. The holographic leaves shift color as if they were swaying in a forest.
Marble Fade
Astralis' PGL Major Stockholm 2021 sticker matches this skin's colors perfectly! The most recent Astralis stickers are from PGL Major Stockholm 2021 and PGL Major Antwerp 2022, but the color shift on most PGL Major Antwerp 2022 versions leans red, while PGL Major Stockholm 2021 shifts more toward purple. So, use the more color-matched Stockholm Astralis sticker to craft this purple Marble Fade!
The color range works perfectly with this skin. This Astralis sticker is fairly small, so it cannot reach the edges in some areas. After plenty of testing, we found the position that sits closest to the edge, gives the best overall result, and shows off the sticker’s iridescent effect to the fullest. Place it at the angle shown in the image; you can hide the Major Logo without scraping the sticker while displaying the largest possible area of the Astralis sticker. (You can also place it on the grip.)
The color-shifting effects in the game are really varied!
