Souvenir XM1014 | Slipstream (Factory New)

Skin overview

XM1014 | Slipstream is a Mil-Spec Grade hydrographic finish that pairs smoky greys with vivid cyan streaks across the whole shotgun. In Factory New the cyan reads at full strength, and the bright pistol grip and muzzle accents stand out sharply against the dark metal. This is the version for buyers who want the contrast exactly as designed.

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.

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

Appearance in Factory New

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.

The hydrographic layer is intact on every part, from the muzzle rings to the butt of the stock. The cyan grip and barrel streaks look saturated and the grey swirls keep crisp edges. In game the shotgun reads as a clean dark weapon with bright blue highlights.

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 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 look at before you buy

• 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 Factory New

• Collectors who want the grey and cyan contrast in its cleanest form.
• Sticker crafters who need an unmarked base for a cool-toned build.
• Conclusion: the choice for those who value a pristine look above savings.
