XM1014 | Elegant Vines (Field-Tested)

The XM1014 | Elegant Vines (Field-Tested) is a Restricted shotgun finish showing its red and green floral pattern with a touch of honest wear. Field-Tested is the most worn grade this finish reaches, and it keeps the vine artwork clearly readable while costing less than the top conditions.

Design

The look is a red and green flower pattern wrapped around the shotgun, a decorative botanical design that stands apart from typical camo finishes. Valve built it, and the accompanying in-game line adds some personality: "Some see a nuisance; I see beauty."

XM1014 | Elegant Vines (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

This finish is float-capped at 0.37, so Field-Tested is as worn as it gets — there's no Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred grade. Because that cap sits low, even the most worn copies stay fairly mild: expect light scuffing and slightly muted color, but the red-and-green flowers remain distinct rather than heavily battered.

XM1014 | Elegant Vines Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the pink tier, above the common blue and purple grades. It occupies the upper half of the standard finish ladder, making it an uncommon grade to pull from the collection.

XM1014 | Elegant Vines Case and Collection

Elegant Vines is a finish from The 2021 Mirage Collection, released alongside Operation Riptide in September 2021. It sits at the uncommon Restricted tier; the collection is acquired via in-game drops and trade-up contracts rather than a weapon case, so most copies circulate on the market.

XM1014 | Elegant Vines Patterns

Because the floral design is fixed, the paint-seed index does nothing — each copy wears the red-and-green flowers the same, and there's no seed lottery or "blue gem" to seek. The only differences between copies come down to wear and float.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak version exists for this shotgun; a StatTrak counter is minted only for finishes released inside weapon cases, and this one came from a collection instead. There is a Souvenir version, though — the first copies dropped in the Stockholm 2021 Mirage Souvenir Package, and additional ones appeared through later Major souvenir packages.

XM1014 | Elegant Vines Price

Field-Tested is the most affordable grade of this finish, sitting below the two cleaner conditions — but with only three grades and a low float cap, even this one keeps the floral look intact. It remains a premium XM1014 pick overall. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Why is there no Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred Elegant Vines?

The finish is float-capped at 0.37, and the game never rolls a copy above that value. Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred require higher floats, so they simply can't exist here — Field-Tested is the most worn grade the skin ever reaches, and it stays relatively mild because of that cap.

Does the Field-Tested Elegant Vines look worn?

Only mildly. Thanks to the low 0.37 float cap, Field-Tested copies pick up light scuffing and a little color softening but never heavy battering. The red-and-green floral pattern stays clearly legible, so this grade still delivers the design's signature look for less than the cleaner conditions.

Is Field-Tested the best value Elegant Vines?

For most buyers, yes. It's the cheapest of the three available grades while keeping the vine artwork fully readable, so you get the same distinctive look for less. The finish is premium regardless of grade, so Field-Tested is the friendliest entry point into owning this shotgun.
