XM1014 | Teclu Burner (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Teclu Burner keeps its warm orange-and-brown palette even at the bottom of the wear scale. In Battle-Scarred large areas of the metallic paint are scraped back, especially on the barrel edges and receiver. It is the most affordable way to get the flame theme on an XM1014.

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, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The barrel and the magazine tube under it are painted in metallic amber and gold, and the barrel darkens to scorched brown and near-black towards the muzzle, like metal heated in a flame. The receiver carries a reddish-brown base with a dark flame motif outlined in green.

The metallic paint is heavily scraped on the barrel, tube and receiver edges, with wide grey areas showing. The flame motif becomes fragmented and loses most of its green outline. In game the weapon looks rough and faded, with colour surviving mainly in the middle sections. The grey grip and stock change little, since they carry almost no paint.

Stickers and crafts

Gold, orange and red stickers continue the heat theme of the barrel and receiver. Dark or green accents placed near the receiver echo the flame outlines without breaking the palette. Cool blue or bright pink stickers tend to clash with the warm metallic tones.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies close to a cleaner grade keep noticeably more of the metallic coat.
• Inspect the muzzle, the barrel edges and the receiver corners, because these areas lose paint first.
• Look at the flame motif on the receiver to see how clearly its green outline survives.
• Note any applied stickers or a name tag, and whether the copy is StatTrak™ or Souvenir.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits
