XM1014 | Hieroglyph (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

XM1014 | Hieroglyph keeps its sand-and-gold colouring even when heavily used, with Egyptian signs on the receiver and an ornament along the top of the weapon. Battle-Scarred copies look rough and worn through on the edges and raised parts, so the shotgun reads as a battered relic rather than a clean decorated piece.

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

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The whole XM1014 is painted in a light sand-gold tone that covers the barrel, the tube magazine, the ribbed handguard, the pistol grip and the stock. The receiver carries a darker engraved panel filled with rows of Egyptian-style hieroglyphs and small ornaments.

Heavy wear covers the muzzle, barrel top, stock and grip, and the blue-copper ornament survives only in fragments. The receiver panel is scratched and faded, with the signs partly broken up. In game the shotgun reads as a worn tan weapon with traces of decoration, which some players like for its excavated-relic feel.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–1

The whole float range of XM1014 | Hieroglyph is 0–1; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–1 segment (55% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Souvenir version

Which stickers suit it

Gold, bronze and sand-coloured stickers blend with the base, while a blue sticker echoes the ornament on the barrel. Placing stickers on the receiver side next to the hieroglyph panel keeps the theme coherent without covering the inscription.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the top of a grade show noticeably more wear on the barrel ornament.
• Look at the muzzle and the top of the barrel and stock first, as these areas lose paint before the rest of the gun.
• Inspect the hieroglyph panel on the receiver, because its clarity defines how well the theme reads on worn copies.
• Decide whether you want a regular or a Souvenir copy, and check any stickers already applied.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Players who want a battered relic look rather than a clean decoration.
• Budget entry for those who simply want a non-default XM1014.
• Suits anyone who values character over a pristine finish.
