XM1014 | Canvas Cloud (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Canvas Cloud covers the XM1014 with orange, tan and brown spots and pairs them with orange furniture. In Battle-Scarred the spotted coat is heavily scratched, with darker metal showing through on the barrel and edges. Since the float range stops before maximum wear, the pattern does not disappear completely and the orange parts keep their tone.

Item type: shotgun. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

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: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The barrel, magazine tube and stock frame carry a hydrographic coat of irregular orange, tan and brown spots over a pale cream base. The pump forend, pistol grip, buttpad and parts of the receiver are finished in solid orange, which frames the spotted areas.

The spotted coat on the barrel, tube and stock frame is heavily scratched, with bare metal showing at the muzzle and along the edges. The pattern breaks into fragments, especially on the barrel. The orange furniture is worn on its edges and raised parts but still holds its colour. In game the shotgun keeps its warm tone, while the pattern reads as rough and faded.
