Souvenir XM1014 | Banana Leaf (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

The float range of Banana Leaf stops short of the most worn values, so even Battle-Scarred copies keep a fair share of the leaf pattern. Expect heavy grey scraping on the barrel, receiver edges and stock. The green and yellow survive mostly on flat surfaces.

Item type: shotgun. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The hydrographic print of overlapping green leaves runs across the entire shotgun: the long barrel, the magazine tube below it, the ribbed pump forend and the receiver. The base tone is olive, with lighter yellow-green leaf shapes and thin veins visible along the barrel and tube.

Heavy scraping covers the muzzle, the pump ribs and the receiver edges, and large grey areas appear on the barrel and stock. Because the float range ends early, the pattern is not completely lost: leaf shapes survive on the magazine tube and flatter surfaces. In game the shotgun looks dull and worn, with the green showing in patches.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.6

The float of Souvenir XM1014 | Banana Leaf ranges from 0 to 0.6; the Battle-Scarred quality covers 0.45–0.6 — 25% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

The skin’s collection is The St. Marc Collection with 18 skins in total. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

Green, olive, gold and yellow stickers match the leaf print, especially along the barrel and on the receiver. Matte stickers in earthy tones keep the camouflage feel, while a single bright yellow sticker placed near the stock echoes its leaf accent.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the float position within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade keep more of the print on the muzzle and forend.
• Inspect the muzzle, the pump ribs and the receiver edges, as these parts lose the print first.
• Check the yellow section on the stock, because scraping there stands out more than on the green areas.
• On Souvenir copies, look at the applied stickers and whether they fit the green and yellow scheme.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Players who want the lowest-cost version and do not mind heavy scraping.
• Collectors of worn looks who appreciate that the leaf shapes still survive in places.
• The budget option that keeps a recognisable trace of the pattern.
