Souvenir XM1014 | Zombie Offensive (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This shotgun carries a packed pattern of undead agent heads that runs along the barrel, the tube and the receiver. At Minimal Wear the print looks practically the same as the cleanest grade, and any marks sit at the very tip of the muzzle where they are hard to spot without zooming in. It is the practical way to get the full-colour look one step below the top grade.

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

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

The remaining 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 pattern covers the barrel, the magazine tube beneath it and the receiver: a tight collage of zombified agent heads in pale skin tones, red, orange and acid green over a dark olive-brown base. The heads overlap with almost no gaps, so up close the surface reads as a crowd and from afar as a warm mottled camouflage.

Wear, if any, is limited to tiny marks on the muzzle ring and the tip of the magazine tube. The faces along the barrel and on the receiver stay intact and sharp. In game this grade is indistinguishable from Factory New. The receiver, forend and stock look clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The float of Souvenir XM1014 | Zombie Offensive ranges from 0 to 0.5; the Minimal Wear quality covers 0.07–0.15 — 16% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

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 red, orange or toxic green tie into the zombie palette and blend with the receiver print. Black, white or gold designs stand out better against the busy pattern. Horror, skull or undead-themed artwork fits the theme of the skin.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since lower values keep the muzzle and the front of the tube cleaner.
• Look at the muzzle end and the magazine tube cap first, as these lose paint before anything else.
• Pattern placement varies between copies, so check in the inspect view which faces land on the receiver if that matters to you.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, and remember that Souvenir copies come with their own fixed stickers.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a look identical to Factory New in game.
• Buyers who accept tiny muzzle marks for a step down in grade.
• Conclusion: the sensible choice for a clean-looking copy.
