Souvenir XM1014 | Heaven Guard (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

XM1014 | Heaven Guard is the red shotgun with angel wings on the receiver and stock. Because the float range stops well short of the top, Battle-Scarred copies here are less damaged than on many skins, with heavy scuffing but a readable scheme. It is the most affordable way to carry the design.

Item type: shotgun. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The barrel and magazine tube are dark gunmetal, with a thin red stripe running along the top of the barrel toward the muzzle. The receiver is grey with a subtle hydrographic pattern and red splashes, and a white wing decal sits on its side above the grip.

Heavy scuffing covers the pump, grip and receiver, and the barrel stripe is broken in places. The wings are heavily faded and chipped but still recognisable. Since the range is capped low, the damage stays moderate for this grade and the red-and-grey scheme remains readable in game. Flat panels of the stock and receiver keep patches of clean colour.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.5

The float of Souvenir XM1014 | Heaven Guard ranges from 0.03 to 0.5; the Battle-Scarred quality covers 0.45–0.5 — 11% 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.

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, white and silver stickers match the scheme, and winged or angel-themed designs echo the decals. Placing stickers on the grey receiver away from the wing decal keeps the artwork readable.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear range, since low floats in each grade keep the red edges noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the wing decals on the receiver and stock, as they are the first detail to chip and define how the skin reads.
• Look at the pump ribs and grip edges, where bare metal shows first.
• Check stickers and name tags on the listing, as they change how the receiver side looks.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget buyers who want the skin at the lowest cost.
• Players who know this grade stays readable thanks to the capped range.
• The cheapest entry into the design.
