XM1014 | Fallout Warning (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The finish pairs a red spray coat with dark grey metal and diagonal warning stripes running along the shotgun. In Minimal Wear the colour reads the same as on the cleanest copies, with only faint scuffs near the muzzle and on exposed edges. For most buyers it gives the full red look without paying for the top grade.

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

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The whole weapon is covered in a red spray coat laid over dark grey metal, with darker diagonal bands breaking up the red. The barrel and magazine tube carry long red sections with grey streaks, and the ribbed forend is mostly dark with red overspray.

Small scuffs may appear on the muzzle tip and the sharpest edges of the forend. The receiver, grip and stock stay clean. At normal distance in game it is practically indistinguishable from Factory New.

What to check before buying

• Factory New copies sit in a very narrow band, so compare floats closely before paying extra for that grade.
• Check the muzzle and the top rail first, since they lose paint before the rest of the weapon.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so make sure you like them before buying.
• Look at the stock corners on worn copies to see how much of the hazard stripes remain.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want the full red look in game without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters who are fine with faint scuffs at the muzzle.
• Conclusion: the practical choice for a clean-looking copy.
