Souvenir XM1014 | Slipstream (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

This is the most worn grade of XM1014 | Slipstream, where the grey and cyan scheme survives mainly on the flat surfaces. The capped float range means even Battle-Scarred copies avoid the heaviest wear possible on some skins, so the blue accents remain readable. It is the cheapest way to put this colour scheme into the game.

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

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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 receiver is finished in dark gunmetal grey with smoky lighter swirls and a pixel-like cyan pattern running along its side, while the top rail stays dark. The barrel and magazine tube carry long turquoise streaks over grey, with bright cyan rings at the muzzle and on the front sight.

Wear covers the muzzle, rail, pump and stock edges heavily, and the cyan details on the barrel are partly broken. Because the float range is capped, the damage stops short of the most extreme level and the larger cyan areas on the grip and stock remain visible. In game it reads as a rough grey shotgun with scattered blue accents.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.5

The float of Souvenir XM1014 | Slipstream ranges from 0 to 0.5; the Battle-Scarred quality covers 0.45–0.5 — 10% 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 Gamma 2 Collection with 17 skins in total.

It drops from Gamma 2 Case.

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 cyan, teal, silver or black fit the cool palette, while white holo or foil accents echo the bright grip. Placing them along the dark receiver side keeps them visible against the grey without clashing with the blue streaks.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show less damage on the muzzle and rail.
• Look at the muzzle, top rail and pump ribs first, as these parts lose paint before the rest of the shotgun.
• Inspect the cyan pistol grip, because its bright colour makes rubbed spots easy to notice in first-person view.
• Check applied stickers and name tags, as they change the look and do not always add value for every buyer.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget players who want the Slipstream colours at the lowest entry point.
• Those who prefer a rough, battle-used look on their shotgun.
• Conclusion: the most affordable way to try this skin in game.
