XM1014 | Charter (Field-Tested)

The XM1014 | Charter (Field-Tested) is a Consumer Grade shotgun printed with a tan pattern of crests, scrawls, and text from the Magna Carta. Field-Tested is the most common way to own it, adding honest wear to a busy document pattern that carries it well.

Design

Charter is defined by its parchment theme: a tan pattern of heraldic crests, handwritten scrawls, and Magna Carta text wrapped across the shotgun. The finish is Valve-made and ships with a pointed in-game line — "Everyone is subject to due process—even you."

XM1014 | Charter (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Field-Tested falls in the middle of the capped 0.00–0.65 float range. At this grade light scratching appears on edges and high-contact areas, but the busy document pattern hides it well from playing distance. It's the practical, everyday grade — real wear, still reading clearly as an aged-parchment finish.

XM1014 | Charter Rarity

The grade is Consumer — the gray tier at the bottom of the standard weapon ranks. It's the most frequently seen band, and that abundance is exactly why this shotgun is so cheap to acquire.

XM1014 | Charter Case and Collection

Charter is a member of The Control Collection, released with Operation Broken Fang on December 3, 2020. The collection isn't tied to a case, so instead of unboxing, players obtain copies as collection drops or straight from the market.

XM1014 | Charter Patterns

Nothing varies between copies pattern-wise. The Magna Carta document pattern is fixed, printed the same on each unit, meaning the seed number is irrelevant and there's no rare "blue gem" version to seek. Only the float and its wear separate one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish comes as a regular version alone — no StatTrak one was ever produced, since no case minted a counter for it, and no Souvenir version exists. Souvenir weapons are made only for Major-tournament packages, and this finish never featured in one.

XM1014 | Charter Price

Field-Tested is the mid-ladder pick — cheaper than the two cleanest grades while keeping a near-identical look thanks to the busy pattern. It's an affordable, budget-to-mid entry into the finish. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the Field-Tested Charter look worn?

Only lightly at a glance. Field-Tested brings some edge scratching, but the busy text-and-crest pattern masks it well, so the shotgun still reads as an aged-parchment finish in-game. Look closely and you'll catch the wear on corners and rails; from normal distance the document pattern keeps it looking intact.

Is Field-Tested the best value Charter?

For most players, yes. It's cheaper than the two cleanest grades yet looks nearly the same because the busy pattern hides scratching. Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred cost even less if you want the absolute lowest price, but Field-Tested balances look and cost the best on an affordable finish.

Where does Charter sit among XM1014 prices?

Toward the affordable, budget-to-mid part of the range. As a Consumer Grade finish from a caseless collection, it never climbs to the premium or grail tiers that some older XM1014 finishes reach, which makes it a low-cost way to add a distinctive document-themed look to a loadout.
