XM1014 | Charter (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

XM1014 | Charter pairs a dark olive-brown finish with tan heraldry and handwritten lines across the long barrel and magazine tube. In Battle-Scarred much of the script is broken up and the base looks patchy, so the shotgun reads mostly as a dark, worn weapon with traces of old lettering. It is the most direct way to get the skin for its in-game silhouette rather than detail.

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

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The barrel and the magazine tube beneath it are fully covered with a dark olive-brown base carrying tan crests, flourishes and lines of handwritten text. The same pattern continues across the side and top of the receiver, while the ribbed pump handguard stays a plain dark grey-brown.

Large areas of the barrel and magazine tube show broken, patchy print with only fragments of the script left. The receiver edges and rail are heavily worn, and the base looks uneven. In game the shotgun appears mostly dark with scattered tan traces. Only parts of the receiver sides keep readable crests and lettering.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in tan, gold, brown or muted red match the parchment-and-ink theme of the pattern. Placing them on the plain pump handguard or the receiver side keeps the barrel script uncovered.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float in a worn grade keeps noticeably more script on the barrel.
• Inspect the muzzle and the receiver rail first, as these parts lose the tan print earliest.
• If you consider a Souvenir copy, look at which stickers it carries and how they sit on the receiver.
• Look at the name tag and any applied stickers, because they change how the calm document pattern reads.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Budget entry for anyone who simply wants a skin on the XM1014.
• Players who prefer a dark, worn silhouette over fine detail.
• Conclusion: the cheapest way to equip the skin, not for detail seekers.
