XM1014 | Oxide Blaze (Minimal Wear)

The XM1014 | Oxide Blaze (Minimal Wear) is a Mil-Spec shotgun finish with a rust-colored base and white detailing. Minimal Wear keeps the industrial look near-mint while trimming the Factory New premium.

Design

The finish coats the shotgun in a rust-colored base with white accents worked through it, an oxidized, industrial motif that suits the XM1014's blunt frame. Hollandje created the design as a community submission, and it ships with the dry in-game line "Not to be used as a load-bearing support."

XM1014 | Oxide Blaze (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Within the finish's 0.00–0.70 float span, Minimal Wear runs roughly 0.07–0.15. The rust base stays rich and the white detailing holds up here, with only faint wear at the sharpest edges. For most buyers it's the sensible way to keep the design looking fresh without paying for the Factory New grade.

XM1014 | Oxide Blaze Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade, the blue tier — the first step of the colored weapon grades and the most common among them. That accessibility is a large part of why the finish stays cheap.

XM1014 | Oxide Blaze Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The Clutch Collection, and it comes out of the Clutch Case that launched in February 2018. Across the case, the Mil-Spec tier pulls at about 79.92% (a figure shared by the whole blue tier), making it one of the easier grades to unbox.

XM1014 | Oxide Blaze Patterns

There's no random pattern variation on Oxide Blaze — the rust base and white detailing land in the same places on every copy, so no paint seed or blue gem is worth chasing. Copies differ from one another only through their wear and float.

StatTrak & Souvenir

You can also find a StatTrak Oxide Blaze, drawn from the Clutch Case, which adds a confirmed-kill counter; that counter is permanent and never gets wiped when the item changes hands. A Souvenir version doesn't exist, since Souvenir weapons only come from Major-tournament packages and the Clutch Case has never featured as a Major drop.

XM1014 | Oxide Blaze Price

Minimal Wear sits just under Factory New on the ladder — a slight condition step down for a friendlier price, while still looking near-mint. It's the value pick of the finish and remains firmly budget-tier as a Mil-Spec skin. You can buy it on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does Minimal Wear look much different from Factory New?

Not by much. The rust base stays rich at Minimal Wear and the white accents keep their definition, with wear confined to edges you'd have to look for. Given the small price gap on a budget skin, Minimal Wear gives you nearly the Factory New appearance for less, which makes it a popular middle-ground choice.

Is Oxide Blaze a cheap shotgun skin?

Yes. As a Mil-Spec finish from the Clutch Case, it sits in budget pricing across most conditions, and Minimal Wear offers a near-fresh industrial look at a low cost. It's an easy, affordable way to give the XM1014 a rugged, weathered identity without spending much.

How can I identify a Minimal Wear copy?

Check the float, which runs about 0.07–0.15 at this grade. Visually the rust base and white detailing stay sharp with only trace edge wear, placing it between the flawless Factory New band and the light but visible scuffing that shows up once a copy drops into Field-Tested condition.
