Souvenir XM1014 | Black Site (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Black Site is recognisable by its matte charcoal surfaces, engraved panel lines and the copper-bronze tip of the magazine tube. In Field-Tested the edges of the barrel, receiver and stock start to show chipped paint, which suits the utilitarian character of the finish. The overall dark silhouette and bronze accents still read clearly in game.

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

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The barrel and the magazine tube are covered in matte charcoal grey, with the tube ending in a bronze-copper muzzle cap that stands out against the dark metal. The forend and receiver carry the same dark finish, divided by thin lighter grey panel lines that outline the ribbed grip area and the side plates.

Chips appear along the muzzle, the edges of the receiver and the forend ridges, and the bronze cap starts to lose some colour at its rim. The stock outline shows light scuffing. In game the wear is visible on the first-person model but does not break the dark overall look. The flat surfaces of the barrel and receiver sides stay mostly clean.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

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.

Which stickers suit it

Bronze, gold, copper and muted holo stickers echo the warm accents of the finish, while black and grey stickers keep the look monochrome. Placements along the dark receiver side work best, where the matte charcoal gives the sticker a clean background.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since the muzzle cap and receiver edges show the difference first.
• Look at the bronze accents on the muzzle, sight and stock, as their colour fades noticeably on more worn copies.
• Find out whether the copy is a Souvenir and which stickers are applied to it.
• Check any name tag and applied stickers in inspect so they fit the dark, restrained finish.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who like a used, tactical look that suits the matte finish.
• Buyers who want the full colour scheme at a more modest cost.
• A balanced pick for everyday play.
