XM1014 | Seasons (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The Seasons finish covers the barrel and magazine tube in a dense mosaic of leaves, shifting from deep red to orange and, near the receiver, into green and yellow. Minimal Wear keeps this mosaic practically intact, with only faint marks that are hard to spot outside close inspection. It gives almost the same picture as the cleanest grade for a buyer who does not need a perfect copy.

Item type: shotgun. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The barrel and the magazine tube below it are covered in a scale-like mosaic of leaves in red, orange and rust tones, with an orange muzzle at the front. Toward the receiver the pattern turns green and yellow, most visibly under the top rail.

Tiny marks may appear on the muzzle and the front tip of the magazine tube. The colours keep their saturation and the leaf outlines remain sharp. At normal distance in game it is indistinguishable from Factory New. The receiver area, pump and stock look clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of XM1014 | Seasons is 0–0.5; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (16% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

StatTrak™ and Souvenir

There is also a the StatTrak™ version: the counter on the weapon tracks kills. Right now it is 2.1× dearer than the regular one. There is also a the Souvenir version with tournament stickers.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in orange, red, gold or warm brown blend with the autumn leaves, while a green accent can echo the section near the receiver. Placing them on the dark receiver keeps the leaf mosaic on the barrel uncovered.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the colour distribution on the inspect screen, since the pattern is randomised and some copies carry more green or yellow than others.
• Look at the muzzle and the front of the magazine tube, where wear shows first.
• Note where the float sits within the wear grade, as copies near the cleaner end look noticeably fresher.
• Check applied stickers and any name tag, since they affect how the colourful barrel and receiver read together.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a practically clean look without paying for perfection.
• Crafters for whom tiny marks on the muzzle do not matter.
• Conclusion: almost the Factory New picture at a more reasonable grade.
