Souvenir XM1014 | Halftone Shift (Factory New)

Skin overview

XM1014 | Halftone Shift covers the shotgun in a halftone print of dots grouped into soft, rounded patches. The colour shifts from bright green at the muzzle to olive and khaki across the receiver. In Factory New the dot grid is crisp and the gradient runs unbroken from barrel to stock.

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

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

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

Appearance in Factory New

The barrels and muzzle carry the brightest part of the gradient, a light green halftone with rounded dot clusters, and the magazine tube under the barrel repeats it. Moving back, the colour shifts to olive and khaki across the ribbed forend and the receiver, where the dot patches grow larger and blend into the base tone.

The paint is complete on every part, from the green muzzle to the khaki receiver. Each dot keeps a sharp outline and the gradient transition is smooth. In game the gun reads as a clean green-to-olive shotgun with a fine texture. There are no chips on the forend ribs or the receiver edges.

Factory New quality — float range 0–0.07

The float of Souvenir XM1014 | Halftone Shift ranges from 0 to 0.6; the Factory New quality covers 0–0.07 — 12% 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 Graphic Design Collection with 16 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.

Stickers and crafts

Stickers in green, olive, khaki or beige tones sit naturally on the receiver and blend with the gradient. Holo or gold stickers with a dotted or print-like look echo the halftone theme, and dark designs contrast well against the lighter khaki body.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the grade, because a low float keeps the muzzle and forend ribs noticeably cleaner.
• Look at the muzzle ends and the top edges of the receiver, where chips appear first.
• Inspect the forend ribs, since wear there breaks up the dot pattern most visibly.
• Check for applied stickers or a name tag and decide whether they fit your plans for the gun.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• For collectors who want the halftone print and gradient in their cleanest form.
• For sticker crafts where a fully intact base matters.
• Conclusion: the grade for anyone who wants the skin to look exactly as designed.
