Souvenir XM1014 | Banana Leaf (Factory New)

Skin overview

XM1014 | Banana Leaf is an Industrial Grade shotgun finish that covers the whole weapon in overlapping green and yellow leaves, applied as a hydrographic print. In Factory New the leaf veins and the yellow accent on the stock stay crisp, so the camouflage reads as one even pattern from muzzle to buttstock.

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.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

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.

The leaf print is intact on every part, including the muzzle ring and the ribs of the pump forend. Colours stay saturated, and the yellow section on the stock looks sharp against the dark grip. In game the shotgun shows a uniform green-and-yellow camouflage with no visible marks.

Factory New quality — float range 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir XM1014 | Banana Leaf is 0–0.6; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (12% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

Souvenir XM1014 | Banana Leaf belongs to The St. Marc Collection, which holds 18 skins. 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 should buy Factory New

• Players who want the leaf camouflage fully intact, with crisp veins and a clean yellow stock.
• Sticker crafters who need an unworn base so every sticker sits on a clean print.
• The pick for anyone who wants this finish in its sharpest form.
