XM1014 | Heaven Guard (Minimal Wear)

The XM1014 | Heaven Guard (Minimal Wear) is a Restricted shotgun in a red finish, marked with hydrographic patterning and dry-transfer angel-wing decals. Minimal Wear keeps the red base and winged design nearly untouched, a small step down from the top grade at a lower price.

Design

Built on a red body treated with soft hydrographics, the finish layers on dry-transfer decals of wings to sell its heavenly motif. The artist not_from_Heaven created it as a community submission, and it ships with a darkly poetic tag: "Sometimes the wings of an angel don't mean salvation."

XM1014 | Heaven Guard (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

On the finish's 0.03–0.50 float scale, Minimal Wear lands in the low band just above Factory New. Only the faintest edge wear shows, so the red stays rich and the winged decals stay legible. For many buyers this grade looks all but identical to the top one while asking a little less.

XM1014 | Heaven Guard Rarity

This finish carries the Restricted classification — the purple tier, positioned in the upper-middle of the weapon grades between Mil-Spec and Classified. It's an uncommon grade that isn't handed out lightly from a case.

XM1014 | Heaven Guard Case and Collection

Belonging to The Huntsman Collection, this shotgun comes out of the Huntsman Weapon Case, which launched with The Hunt Begins update in May 2014. Across the case the Restricted tier pulls at roughly 15.98% (shared among the tier's skins), and since the case is an old one, supply now leans heavily on the resale market.

XM1014 | Heaven Guard Patterns

Because the design is fixed, the paint seed has no effect on the look — the wings and hydrographic patterning land the same on every copy. No blue-gem or premium seed hides in the pool, so wear grade is the only meaningful variable when choosing one.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There is a StatTrak™ edition, which adds a confirmed-kill counter; it drops more rarely from the Huntsman Weapon Case and costs more than the standard skin, and its counter is permanent — it stays with the item through trades and sales and never gets wiped. No Souvenir version exists, as those are produced only for Major-tournament packages and this finish was never included in one.

XM1014 | Heaven Guard Price

Minimal Wear sits just below Factory New on the ladder while looking nearly the same, which makes it a savvy value grade within a premium finish. It's the sweet spot for buyers who want near-top condition without the top-grade price. Available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Minimal Wear the smart buy?

For most buyers, yes. It looks almost identical to Factory New — the red stays deep and the winged decals sharp — but typically costs less. When you want near-flawless condition on this premium shotgun without paying for the very best grade, Minimal Wear is the practical middle ground on the ladder.

How worn does Minimal Wear look?

Hardly at all. Any wear sits at the edges and is easy to miss, so the red finish and angel-wing decals read as fresh in-game. If you want the design looking close to how it was painted but don't need the absolute top grade, this condition delivers exactly that.

Is there a StatTrak Minimal Wear version?

Yes. A StatTrak™ edition of this finish exists across the wear grades, including Minimal Wear, and adds a permanent confirmed-kill counter. It's rarer and costs more than the plain version, so expect a premium — but the tracker never gets wiped and follows the item through every future trade or sale.
