XM1014 | Mockingbird (Field-Tested)

The XM1014 | Mockingbird (Field-Tested, FT) is a Mil-Spec shotgun finish with silver and gold birds in flight across the receiver, now carrying light honest wear. Field-Tested is the most common and affordable way to run the design in-game.

Design

Mockingbird wraps the receiver in a silver-and-gold flock mid-flight, an ornamental motif that lends the blunt shotgun a surprisingly refined edge. The community artist Von.Bonelli-XII designed it, and it comes with the fitting in-game line "Time spent with birds is never wasted."

XM1014 | Mockingbird (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Within the full 0.00–1.00 range, Field-Tested spans roughly 0.15–0.38. At this grade the metallic finish dulls slightly and scuffing appears along the edges and high-contact areas, though the silver and gold birds stay clearly readable. It's the grade most players settle on for the balance of appearance and cost.

XM1014 | Mockingbird Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue grade, the entry point of the colored weapon tiers and the most frequently seen among them. That commonness keeps this finish easy to find and light on the wallet.

XM1014 | Mockingbird Case and Collection

Field-Tested Mockingbird is drawn from The Fever Collection, unboxed from the Fever Case released alongside the Spring Forward update in March 2025. The blue Mil-Spec tier drops at around 79.92% from the case (odds shared across the tier's skins), so it's a routine pull rather than a rare one.

XM1014 | Mockingbird Patterns

The design is fixed, which means the silver-and-gold bird artwork prints identically on every copy — there's no seed to reroll and nothing like a blue gem to seek out. Wear grade and float value are the only things separating one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's a StatTrak Mockingbird as well, minted from the Fever Case, which tacks on a confirmed-kill counter; that counter is permanent and never gets wiped when the item changes hands. No Souvenir edition was ever made, because Souvenir weapons come strictly from Major-tournament packages and the Fever Case has never been a Major drop.

XM1014 | Mockingbird Price

Field-Tested sits in the mid-to-lower part of the finish's ladder — cheaper than the two cleanest grades while keeping the bird design fully legible. It's the practical value option for most buyers and stays well within budget territory. Grab it on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How worn does Field-Tested Mockingbird look?

Moderately. In the 0.15–0.38 float range the metallic sheen dulls a little and scuffing shows along the edges and grip, but the silver and gold birds hold their shape and stay easy to make out. It reads as a lightly used copy rather than a battered one at typical viewing distance.

Is Field-Tested the best value grade?

For most players, yes. It costs less than Minimal Wear (MW) and Factory New (FN) while keeping the bird artwork clearly visible, and it's the most plentiful grade on the market. Well-Worn (WW) and Battle-Scarred (BS) are cheaper still if you want the lowest price and don't mind heavier wear on the metallic finish.

Does the wear spoil the metallic look?

Not really. The silver and gold detailing dulls slightly and gains some edge scuffing at Field-Tested, but the flock of birds stays recognizable and the finish keeps its character. You get the full Mockingbird identity for noticeably less than the cleaner grades ask.
