XM1014 | Elegant Vines (Factory New)

The XM1014 | Elegant Vines (Factory New) is a Restricted shotgun finish decorated with a flowing red and green floral pattern. Factory New is the top grade, presenting the vine-and-flower artwork at its most vivid and detailed.

Design

A red and green flower pattern winds across the shotgun, trading tactical camo for something closer to a painted botanical study. It's a Valve-made finish, and the in-game line leans into the theme with a wink: "Some see a nuisance; I see beauty."

XM1014 | Elegant Vines (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish spans a float range of 0.00–0.37, and Factory New sits right at the bottom. At this level the floral artwork reads sharp, the reds stay rich, and the greens hold their depth with no surface scuffing. For the fullest look at the vine pattern, this is the grade to reach for.

XM1014 | Elegant Vines Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the pink tier, a solid step up from the common blue and purple grades. It's an uncommon pull and sits comfortably in the upper half of the standard finish ladder.

XM1014 | Elegant Vines Case and Collection

This finish is part of The 2021 Mirage Collection, which debuted with Operation Riptide in September 2021. As a Restricted skin it's an uncommon tier within that set, and the collection is earned through in-game drops and trade-up contracts rather than a weapon case.

XM1014 | Elegant Vines Patterns

The floral layout is fixed, so the paint seed doesn't rearrange it — every copy carries the red-and-green flowers identically, with no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to chase. Wear and float are all that set one copy apart from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak version of this shotgun — that counter is minted only when a finish ships inside a weapon case, and this Mirage skin was never released that way. It does exist as a Souvenir finish, though: the first Souvenir copies came from the Stockholm 2021 Mirage Souvenir Package, with more issued through later Major souvenir packages.

XM1014 | Elegant Vines Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's price ladder as the cleanest grade, and the skin lands in premium territory for an XM1014 — the floral artwork and Restricted rarity carry a real markup over budget shotgun finishes. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is the Factory New Elegant Vines worth the premium?

If you want the floral artwork at its sharpest and the reds and greens at full saturation, yes. Factory New shows the vine pattern without any wear, which matters on a detail-heavy design like this. The finish is already a premium XM1014 pick, so the top grade suits collectors chasing the best condition.

Which gloves go with Elegant Vines?

Its red-and-green floral palette pairs well with warm, natural gloves — a red or crimson pair picks up the flowers, while olive or forest-green wraps echo the vines. Something like Hand Wraps in a leaf-green or deep-red tone keeps the botanical theme running through your loadout.

What is the flavor text about?

The in-game line "Some see a nuisance; I see beauty" plays on the idea of vines as weeds that overtake a surface — reframing the floral overgrowth as something worth admiring. It's purely cosmetic flavor text with no gameplay effect, a bit of character Valve attaches to many finishes.
