Trivia[]

  • Similar buff effects are not duplicated if the player owns an M4A1 Dark Knight and other Transcendence Buff Weapons.
  • Players who possess the M4A1 Dark Knight will display an icon next to their nicknames as well as the room info to notify other players. In the end game screen, other users without Transcendence weapons will have a similar icon, indicating their experience buff.
  • Both AK-47 Paladin and M4A1 Dark Knight will slightly zoom-in upon switching to their secondary fire mode. This augmentation is minimal, but might be enough to disorient some users.
  • The M4A1 Dark Knight is coated with an alloy that makes it reflect light. This can be seen whenever a player moves their mouse.
    • This is actually a "chrome" effect that was firstly used in CSOWC Edition of SKULL-7 and SKULL-5. This chrome effect is already available since the first GoldSrc engine game, Half-Life.
  • Its primary fire sound is similar to the M16A1.
  • In Indonesia region, this weapon's ammo is named as .50 BMG Evil Flare.
  • When fully enhanced, M4A1 Shadow Knight's/Dark Knight's magazine size is extended to 65.
