Souvenir XM1014 | Irezumi (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

At its most worn, XM1014 | Irezumi keeps only the general idea of its gold and snake decoration, with large areas of the base paint scraped away. The dark parts of the shotgun hold up better, so the contrast shifts towards a rugged, stripped metal look. This is the cheapest way to own the finish and an option for those who prefer a battered style.

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

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The receiver carries the main artwork: a gold-coloured base covered with dense, engraving-like swirls and a snake drawn in the Irezumi tattoo manner. The barrel and magazine tube are dark, close to black, with ribbed sections, while the tube cap and the area near the front sling mount are a pale cream tone.

Large areas of the gold base are worn through on the receiver and stock, leaving only fragments of the snake and swirls. Edges, the pump ribs, the grip and the tube cap are heavily scuffed. In game the shotgun looks rough and stripped, with the gold showing in uneven spots. Only the dark barrel keeps a relatively tidy look.

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

Gold, black, cream and muted red stickers match the tattoo-style palette best. Placing them on the dark barrel or tube keeps the receiver ornament visible, while a single gold or holo sticker can complement the engraved look.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the gold base changes noticeably between low and high values of the same grade.
• Inspect the receiver edges and the stock panel corners, as these lose the gold and linework first.
• Look at the pale cream grip and tube cap for scuffs, which stand out against the light colour.
• Note any stickers or name tag, since bright stickers can cover or clash with the receiver ornament.
