XM1014 | Black Site (Minimal Wear)

The XM1014 | Black Site (Minimal Wear, MW) is an Industrial Grade shotgun skin painted in matte black, gray and bronze. Minimal Wear keeps the tactical scheme looking nearly untouched while sitting a step below the top grade.

Design

The finish coats the XM1014 in matte black and gray with bronze highlights, leaning on the long receiver to evoke specialized, restricted-access hardware. Hybra created the design as a community submission, and it ships with a knowing in-game line: "Make a scene."

XM1014 | Black Site (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Just above Factory New (FN) on the finish's 0.00–1.00 float scale, Minimal Wear shows only the faintest edge wear if any. The matte black stays deep and the bronze accents hold, so most copies are hard to tell from the top grade at a glance. It's the value-minded way to run the covert look close to its best.

XM1014 | Black Site Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade. That's the light-blue tier, sitting low on the standard weapon ladder — a common grade, which is part of why the finish stays easy to get.

XM1014 | Black Site Case and Collection

Part of The Spy Tech Collection, this finish launched with the Armory / Season 5 update in July 2026. No weapon case produces it — copies come from collection drops and trade-up outcomes, so the supply is still forming as the new collection gets farmed.

XM1014 | Black Site Patterns

Because the matte scheme is a fixed layout, the paint-seed index changes nothing about how a copy looks — there's no rare pattern or blue-gem roll to chase. The wear grade and float value are the only variables that tell two copies apart.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak edition was never made — those counters are minted only inside weapon cases, and this finish never came from one. A Souvenir version doesn't exist either, since Souvenir weapons are produced solely at Major tournaments and this skin was never part of a package. Only the regular finish is available.

XM1014 | Black Site Price

With the finish newly released, its market is still settling, but Minimal Wear naturally slots just below Factory New on the ladder — a near-top look for a slightly softer outlay once prices stabilize. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Minimal Wear worth it over Factory New?

For most buyers, yes. Minimal Wear looks almost identical to Factory New — the matte black stays deep and the bronze accents crisp — but sits a notch lower on the ladder. Go for Factory New only if you want the absolute top float; otherwise this grade is the smarter pick for the same look.

How worn does the Minimal Wear Black Site look?

Barely at all. Any wear is limited to the faintest scuffing on exposed edges, and the matte dark base hides even that well. To the eye it reads as an almost-untouched finish, which makes it a strong choice for players wanting near-top condition without stretching for the highest grade.

Who designed the Black Site?

It's a community design by the artist Hybra, made for The Spy Tech Collection. The concept uses the shotgun's long frame to suggest specialized equipment built for restricted operations, which is where the matte black, gray and bronze scheme and the covert theme come from.
