XM1014 | Heaven Guard (Field-Tested)

The XM1014 | Heaven Guard (Field-Tested) is a Restricted shotgun in a red finish with hydrographic patterning and dry-transfer wing decals, here showing honest wear. Field-Tested is the most common way to own the winged design, at a friendlier price than the top grades.

Design

The look centers on a red body worked with subtle hydrographics, topped by dry-transfer decals of angel wings that drive its heavenly theme home. It began as a community design from the artist not_from_Heaven, and it carries an ominous line: "Sometimes the wings of an angel don't mean salvation."

XM1014 | Heaven Guard (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Field-Tested occupies the middle of the finish's 0.03–0.50 float range. Scuffing shows along the edges and raised areas, but the red base and winged decals hold up well and the design stays clearly readable. This is the grade most owners settle on for the balance of appearance and cost.

XM1014 | Heaven Guard Rarity

Classed as Restricted, this shotgun sits in the purple tier — above Mil-Spec, below Classified, in the upper-middle of the weapon grades. It's an uncommon rarity that adds to the finish's appeal.

XM1014 | Heaven Guard Case and Collection

This finish is drawn from The Huntsman Collection and unboxes from the Huntsman Weapon Case, introduced with The Hunt Begins update in May 2014. The Restricted tier drops around 15.98% of the time from the case (that odds figure is shared across the tier), and being an older case, most copies today are bought on the market rather than unboxed.

XM1014 | Heaven Guard Patterns

There's no pattern lottery on this skin. The artwork is fixed, so the paint-seed number never shifts the wings or hydrographic patterning, and no blue-gem or premium seed exists to seek out. Copies differ only by their wear level.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ variant is available, tacking on a confirmed-kill counter; it's a scarcer, more expensive drop from the Huntsman Weapon Case than the plain skin, and the counter is permanent — it follows the item through trades and sales and never gets wiped. No Souvenir edition was made, since Souvenir weapons come strictly from Major-tournament packages that never featured this finish.

XM1014 | Heaven Guard Price

Field-Tested sits in the lower-middle of the price ladder, cheaper than the cleaner grades while keeping the design intact — a big reason it's the popular pick. Even within a premium finish, it's a more approachable buy. Available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the Field-Tested version look worn?

Somewhat, but it holds up. There's visible edge wear at this grade, yet the red base and winged decals stay legible, so the shotgun still reads as its bold, heavenly self from normal range. For the price, it's a strong choice if you want the design without paying for a higher grade.

Is Field-Tested the best value grade?

For many buyers, yes. It costs noticeably less than Factory New and Minimal Wear while keeping the look intact, and it's the most common grade on the market. Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred go cheaper if you want the lowest entry price and don't mind heavier scuffing on the surface.

Can I get this grade with StatTrak?

Yes. A StatTrak™ Field-Tested version exists and adds a permanent confirmed-kill counter to the shotgun. It's rarer and pricier than the standard Field-Tested copy, so budget for a premium — but in exchange you get a tracker that logs your kills and never gets wiped across future trades.
