Souvenir XM1014 | Banana Leaf (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This finish wraps the XM1014 in a dense olive leaf print with brighter yellow-green highlights, which gives the shotgun a jungle camouflage look. Minimal Wear copies usually carry only faint marks that are hard to spot in a match, while sitting a grade below the cleanest condition.

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: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

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.

Small light scratches may appear on the muzzle and the front edge of the magazine tube, often visible only on close inspection. The receiver, forend and stock keep their full pattern and colour. At normal distance the skin is practically indistinguishable from Factory New.

Minimal Wear quality — float range 0.07–0.15

The float of Souvenir XM1014 | Banana Leaf ranges from 0 to 0.6; the Minimal Wear quality covers 0.07–0.15 — 13% 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

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 Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Buyers who accept faint marks on the muzzle that are barely visible in game.
• A sensible middle ground between appearance and cost.
