Souvenir XM1014 | Monster Melt (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

In Well-Worn the cartoon monsters on this XM1014 begin to look faded and patchy, as if the melting theme has spread to the paint itself. The overall pink-and-pastel scheme is still recognisable, but scratches break up the characters on the receiver and the stock edges. It is a budget way to run the design with a used, rough look.

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 Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The receiver of the XM1014 is packed with cartoon monsters in teal, mint green, yellow, purple and pink, with drips and blobs that give the melting effect. The barrel and magazine tube stay dark grey with small colourful spots scattered along them, which frames the busy centre.

Scratches spread across the receiver and cut into several monsters, and the colours look faded. The grip and stock edges show clear bare spots. In game the design is recognisable by colour, but fine detail is lost.

Well-Worn wear: float 0.38–0.45

The whole float range of Souvenir XM1014 | Monster Melt is 0–0.75; Well-Worn takes the 0.38–0.45 segment (9% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

Souvenir XM1014 | Monster Melt belongs to The Overpass 2024 Collection, which holds 16 skins.

It drops from:

• Budapest 2025 Overpass Souvenir Highlight Package
• Budapest 2025 Overpass Souvenir Package

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

Pastel stickers in pink, teal, mint or yellow blend with the monster artwork, and cartoon-style stickers fit the theme. Placing them on the dark barrel area gives contrast without hiding the characters on the receiver.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low value keeps the receiver edges cleaner.
• Look at the top edge of the receiver and the muzzle, as these lose paint first.
• Inspect the pink grip and the stock corners on worn copies for bare spots.
• Check any applied stickers and name tag so they match what you want on the weapon.

Who the Well-Worn quality suits

• Budget buyers who like the theme more than a clean finish.
• Players who enjoy a faded, used look on a bright design.
• An affordable way to own the artwork.
