XM1014 | Halftone Shift (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

The XM1014 with the multicoloured halftone print is still recognisable by its green barrel and khaki body in Well-Worn. The paint has chipped noticeably on the edges and raised parts, and bare metal breaks up the dot grid in places. It suits players who like the colours and do not mind a used, rough finish.

Item type: shotgun. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

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

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

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The barrels and muzzle carry the brightest part of the gradient, a light green halftone with rounded dot clusters, and the magazine tube under the barrel repeats it. Moving back, the colour shifts to olive and khaki across the ribbed forend and the receiver, where the dot patches grow larger and blend into the base tone.

The chipped areas on the barrels, receiver edges and forend ribs grow larger and show bare metal. The gradient is still clear, but the dot grid is interrupted across much of the forend. In game the gun reads as visibly worn, though the green and khaki tones stay distinct. The flatter sides of the receiver and the magazine tube keep the most paint.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the grade, because a low float keeps the muzzle and forend ribs noticeably cleaner.
• Look at the muzzle ends and the top edges of the receiver, where chips appear first.
• Inspect the forend ribs, since wear there breaks up the dot pattern most visibly.
• Check for applied stickers or a name tag and decide whether they fit your plans for the gun.

Who the Well-Worn quality suits

• For budget buyers who like the green-to-khaki look and accept visible chipping.
• For players who prefer a used, rough style on their shotgun.
• Conclusion: an inexpensive option that keeps the skin recognisable.
