Souvenir XM1014 | Oxide Blaze (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This wear keeps the full look of Oxide Blaze: rusty brown metal, pale patches on the receiver and a dark pump and stock. Any marks at this grade are small and mostly hidden by the weathered style of the paint itself. For a buyer it is a way to get a practically clean copy without paying for the top grade.

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

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

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The long barrel and the magazine tube beneath it are painted in rust-brown with darker and lighter streaks that imitate oxidised steel. The receiver carries the main motif: pale white and cream blotches spread over the rusty base, with a darker band along the top rail.

Tiny scuffs may appear at the muzzle and on the very top edge of the barrel. The receiver blotches remain sharp and the overall pattern is intact. Because the paint already imitates weathered metal, these marks are hard to spot. At normal distance it looks the same as a Factory New copy.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

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

Stickers in rust, brown, cream or off-white tones blend with the oxidised look of the receiver. Dark or matte designs placed near the pump keep the contrast between the brown metal and the black furniture. Bright neon colours tend to clash with the weathered theme.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within its wear grade, since a low value in Field-Tested looks noticeably cleaner than a high one.
• Look at the receiver, because the white blotches there are the main detail and the first to show broken edges.
• Inspect the muzzle and top of the barrel on worn copies, where paint loss starts.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, as they change how the receiver area reads.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a practically clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters for whom tiny barrel scuffs do not matter.
• Conclusion: a sensible middle ground between appearance and cost.
