Souvenir XM1014 | XoooM (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The skin is recognisable by its loud yellow coat broken up by darker diagonal bands, set against a grey forend and grip. In Minimal Wear the finish still reads as almost new: any marks are tiny and sit on edges you rarely look at in a match. It gives nearly the same look as the top grade at a lower grade level.

Item type: shotgun. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The barrel, the magazine tube under it, the top of the receiver and the stock are coated in bright yellow with a mottled texture and darker olive diagonal streaks. The forend, the lower receiver, the pistol grip and parts of the stock are left in grey with a silver tint, which frames the yellow sections.

Tiny scuffs may appear at the very tip of the muzzle and on the edge of the buttplate. The receiver top and barrel remain clean. At normal distance in game it is hard to tell apart from Factory New. Colours stay just as saturated.

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

Black, grey and silver or holo stickers match the grey hardware and the dark streaks without fighting the yellow. Yellow stickers in the same tone blend into the finish, while one dark accent on the receiver keeps the look tidy.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a lower value keeps the receiver edge and muzzle cleaner.
• Inspect the top of the receiver and the stock edges, as these lose yellow first.
• Look at any applied stickers and how their colours sit against the yellow and grey.
• Check for a name tag if you want the item clean or with a specific name.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-new look at a lower grade.
• Sticker crafters happy with minor edge marks.
• Conclusion: a sensible middle ground between looks and cost.
