XM1014 | Black Site (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This is a plain, work-like finish: dark grey metal, a pale grip and a few bronze highlights. Well-Worn copies show noticeable scuffing on the muzzle, the forend ridges and the stock outline, and the bronze parts lose part of their colour. The shotgun looks like a tool that has been used, without losing its basic scheme.

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

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The barrel and the magazine tube are covered in matte charcoal grey, with the tube ending in a bronze-copper muzzle cap that stands out against the dark metal. The forend and receiver carry the same dark finish, divided by thin lighter grey panel lines that outline the ribbed grip area and the side plates.

Scuffing spreads from the edges onto larger areas of the forend, receiver and stock, and the bronze accents are noticeably faded. Bare metal shows at the muzzle and on raised details. In game the shotgun looks clearly used, though the dark base and panel layout are still easy to read. The centre of the receiver sides and the grip hold up better than the edges.
