Souvenir XM1014 | Frost Borre (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This is the XM1014 with a cold palette of navy and silver, its ring pattern running along the long barrel and tube. In Minimal Wear the blue still looks clean from a normal viewing angle, with only faint marks that are hard to spot without close inspection. It gives nearly the same frosty look as the cleanest grade.

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

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The barrel and the magazine tube below it are finished in dark navy blue with silver interlocking rings and wave-like curves running along their length. The receiver carries the same navy base and ring pattern, while the ribbed pump grip, pistol grip and skeleton stock are left in muted grey metal with darker accents.

Tiny scratches may appear at the muzzle and on the sharpest edges of the receiver. They are small enough that the blue looks intact at normal distance. The ring pattern on the barrel and tube remains crisp. The pump and stock show no meaningful difference from Factory New.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The float of Souvenir XM1014 | Frost Borre ranges from 0 to 0.5; the Minimal Wear quality covers 0.07–0.15 — 16% 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

The skin’s collection is The Norse Collection with 18 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

Silver, white, ice-blue and holographic stickers match the frosty palette and the metallic ring pattern. The navy receiver side is the best spot, where stickers sit against the blue rather than the grey stock. Bright warm colours tend to break the cold, restrained look.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end show fewer edge scratches.
• Look at the muzzle, the top of the barrel and the receiver corners, as these lose the navy finish first.
• Make sure any applied stickers suit the cold blue and silver palette rather than clash with it.
• Check whether a name tag is attached and whether it matches your taste.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-flawless look while saving compared to the top grade.
• Sticker crafters who accept tiny edge marks invisible in game.
• A sensible compromise between condition and cost.
