Souvenir XM1014 | Blaze Orange (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Blaze Orange is recognisable at a glance by its high-visibility orange and the darker camo patches spread along the barrel and stock. Field-Tested copies show scuffs on the muzzle, rail and stock corners, which suit the outdoor hunting theme. The overall colour still dominates in play.

Item type: shotgun. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

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, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The barrel, magazine tube and receiver are covered in a bright blaze orange hydrographic with irregular dark brown camo blotches that resemble leaves and branches. The same pattern continues over the forend and the skeleton stock, while the pistol grip and some front details are a light tan.

Wear spreads to the barrel tip, the magazine tube end and the rail edges, with scuffs on the stock corners. The tan grip shows light rubbing. The receiver and the middle of the barrel still look mostly clean. In game the gun reads as orange with a slightly worn front.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The float of Souvenir XM1014 | Blaze Orange ranges from 0.06 to 0.8; the Field-Tested quality covers 0.15–0.38 — 31% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

The skin’s collection is The Militia Collection with 11 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.

Which stickers suit it

Black, brown and gold stickers match the dark camo and tan grip without fighting the orange. Orange or tan holo stickers placed along the receiver keep the hunting theme consistent. Avoid strong reds and pinks, which clash with the blaze orange base.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show less damage at the muzzle and stock.
• Look at the camo placement on the receiver, because the hydrographic print shifts between copies.
• Inspect the muzzle, rail and stock corners first, as these parts lose paint earliest.
• For Souvenir copies, check how the pre-applied stickers look against the orange.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Everyday players who want the orange look and do not mind light edge wear.
• Fans of the outdoor theme, as scuffs fit a hunting shotgun.
• In short: a balanced choice between look and cost.
