Souvenir XM1014 | Solitude (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

Solitude pairs a blue, map-like barrel with a light receiver that looks like a printed relief chart, which makes the XM1014 easy to recognise in the inventory. In Minimal Wear the finish reads almost the same as a fresh copy, with only faint marks that are hard to spot without zooming in. It is a sensible choice for buyers who want a clean look without paying for the top grade.

Item type: shotgun. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

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: Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The barrel and the magazine tube are covered in a deep teal finish with dark contour lines that imitate a mountain relief map, with small gold accents near the front of the barrel and on top of the receiver. The receiver is painted in a pale cream tone with light topographic lines outlined in dark grey, which makes it the brightest part of the weapon.

Wear is limited to tiny specks, most often near the muzzle and on the very edges of the receiver. The pale receiver may carry a few faint marks that are visible only on inspection. In game it looks the same as a Factory New copy. The barrel pattern, tube and gold accents remain fully clean.

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 blue, teal, white or gold tones blend well with the relief pattern, especially when placed on the pale receiver. Dark or holographic stickers along the barrel keep the contrast with the light section without breaking the map motif.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a lower float keeps the pale receiver noticeably cleaner.
• Look closely at the receiver edges and the muzzle, which are the first places where paint comes off.
• Souvenir copies come with pre-applied stickers, so check whether their look suits the cream and teal colours.
• On copies with stickers or a name tag, make sure they match your plans, as they cannot be moved to another item.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a clean look in game without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafts where tiny edge marks do not matter.
• A practical alternative to Factory New with nearly the same appearance.
