XM1014 | Charter (Minimal Wear)

The XM1014 | Charter (Minimal Wear, MW) is a Consumer Grade shotgun printed with a tan pattern of crests, scrawls, and text from the Magna Carta. Minimal Wear keeps the document pattern looking legible, with only the faintest edge wear once you look closely.

Design

The finish wraps the shotgun in a tan document motif — heraldic crests, handwritten scrawls, and Magna Carta text spread across the body like parchment. Valve made it, and it comes with a pointed in-game line: "Everyone is subject to due process—even you."

XM1014 | Charter (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

On the capped 0.00–0.65 float range, Minimal Wear sits just above the top grade. The crests and lettering stay legible and the tan tones hold across the body, with maybe a hint of scuffing on the sharpest edges but nothing that breaks the pattern. It's a near-top look for a step below the Factory New (FN) price.

XM1014 | Charter Rarity

Rarity here is Consumer Grade, the gray tier at the base of the standard weapon ladder. As the most abundant band in the game, it keeps this shotgun among the most affordable finishes you can run.

XM1014 | Charter Case and Collection

Part of The Control Collection, this shotgun arrived with Operation Broken Fang on December 3, 2020. Because the collection has no case, copies aren't unboxed — they enter circulation through collection drops and player-to-player market trades.

XM1014 | Charter Patterns

There's no random roll to chase: the Magna Carta document pattern is applied the same way on every copy, so the paint-seed index doesn't shift the look and no "blue gem" pattern exists. Wear and float are the only real differences between copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Only a regular version of this finish exists — there's no StatTrak edition, as no case ever fitted it with a kill counter, and no Souvenir version. Souvenir weapons come exclusively from Major-tournament packages, and this finish was never included in one.

XM1014 | Charter Price

Minimal Wear lands just below the top grade on the ladder — still affordable for an XM1014, but a touch cheaper than Factory New while looking nearly identical. It's a smart value pick for the parchment look. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How different is Minimal Wear from Factory New?

Very little to the eye. Both show a legible document pattern with warm tan tones; Minimal Wear may carry the faintest scuffing on the sharpest edges, visible mainly up close. Given how affordable both grades are, Minimal Wear keeps almost the full look for a little less than Factory New.

Does the document pattern hide wear well?

Yes, fairly well. A busy, text-and-crest pattern breaks up scratching better than a solid or glossy base, so light wear tends to blend into the scrawl. That's why the middle wears stay attractive on Charter — the parchment design keeps looking intentional rather than damaged well down the ladder.

Is Charter a good budget shotgun skin?

Definitely. It's Consumer Grade from a caseless collection, so it stays among the cheaper XM1014 finishes, yet the Magna Carta document theme gives it a genuinely unusual character most budget skins lack. If you want an affordable shotgun with a distinctive look, it's a strong pick.
