Souvenir XM1014 | Fallout Warning (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Fallout Warning is recognised by its red-and-grey hazard markings, sprayed loosely so the edges look rough even when new. In Field-Tested the paint starts to break on the barrel tip and around the receiver, and the dark base shows through in places. The rough, used look fits the warning-sign theme rather than working against it.

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

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The whole weapon is covered in a red spray coat laid over dark grey metal, with darker diagonal bands breaking up the red. The barrel and magazine tube carry long red sections with grey streaks, and the ribbed forend is mostly dark with red overspray.

The paint breaks on the muzzle, the top rail and the edges of the forend, showing grey metal underneath. Light patches of wear appear along the barrel and on the stock corners. The grip and the middle of the receiver still hold most of the red. In game the red remains dominant, with visible roughness at the front.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The whole float range of Souvenir XM1014 | Fallout Warning is 0.06–0.8; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.38 segment (31% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

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

Red, black and dark grey stickers blend with the finish, while yellow or black-and-yellow designs echo the hazard theme. The receiver side and the forend area give the most visible placements.

What to look at before you buy

• Factory New copies sit in a very narrow band, so compare floats closely before paying extra for that grade.
• Check the muzzle and the top rail first, since they lose paint before the rest of the weapon.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so make sure you like them before buying.
• Look at the stock corners on worn copies to see how much of the hazard stripes remain.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who want the red still dominant at a lower cost.
• Those who like a used look that fits the warning-sign theme.
• Conclusion: a balanced middle option for everyday play.
