XM1014 | Quicksilver (Battle-Scarred)

The XM1014 | Quicksilver (Battle-Scarred) is a Mil-Spec shotgun finish with a terrain-map hydrographic over metallic silver, worn to its most weathered state. It's the cheapest way into the design, trading a dulled surface for the lowest price on the ladder.

Design

Quicksilver layers a translucent terrain-map print over a metallic silver base, a cool gray, topographic look defined by its reflective surface. The finish is a design by Algis, and it ships with the in-game line "Sometimes you need an unstable element to solve your problems - Kotaro Izaki, Breach Expert," fitting its cold, technical character even in worn form.

XM1014 | Quicksilver (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

This finish is float-capped at 0.50 rather than the full 1.0, so its Battle-Scarred copies — running from about 0.45 to the 0.50 ceiling — sit in an unusually narrow band and never approach the extreme wear the scale allows. The metallic sheen is heavily muted and scuffing spreads across the body, but the terrain-map motif stays visible, keeping the skin readable at its roughest.

XM1014 | Quicksilver Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue grade, the lowest of the colored weapon tiers and the most common among them. That base-tier status is what keeps even a worn copy so cheap.

XM1014 | Quicksilver Case and Collection

Battle-Scarred Quicksilver comes from The Chroma Collection, unboxed from the Chroma Case that debuted in January 2015. As a group, the Mil-Spec tier drops at about 79.92% from the case (a rate shared across the tier's skins), so these copies are far from scarce.

XM1014 | Quicksilver Patterns

Because the terrain-map hydrographic is fixed rather than seed-driven, every Battle-Scarred copy carries the same print over the silver — there's no pattern to reroll and no blue-gem rarity waiting to be found. Only the wear grade and float value distinguish one shotgun from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

You'll also find a StatTrak Quicksilver from the Chroma Case, which brings a confirmed-kill counter along; the counter is permanent and never gets wiped when the item is traded or sold. A Souvenir version was never produced, as Souvenir weapons appear solely in Major-tournament packages and the Chroma Case has never been a Major drop.

XM1014 | Quicksilver Price

Battle-Scarred is the entry point of the finish's price ladder, the cheapest grade for anyone who wants the design and accepts the muted surface. It's the most economical way to add the shotgun to a loadout while staying in affordable mid-tier territory. It's available on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred Quicksilver still recognizable?

Yes. Even with a heavily muted sheen and widespread scuffing, the terrain-map motif over the silver base stays visible enough to read as Quicksilver in-game. Battle-Scarred here is about accepting the loss of most reflectivity for the lowest price rather than losing the design's shape, which survives the wear.

Why doesn't Battle-Scarred Quicksilver look completely destroyed?

Because the finish is float-capped at just 0.50 — far below the usual 1.0 — its Battle-Scarred copies occupy a tight 0.45–0.50 band and never reach the extreme end of the wear scale. The result is a muted, scuffed surface that stays notably more legible than a full-range skin does at the same grade.

Who should buy the Battle-Scarred grade?

Anyone who wants the Quicksilver design on their XM1014 for the lowest cost, or who doesn't mind losing the metallic sheen in exchange for savings. Thanks to the 0.50 float cap it's less battered than most Battle-Scarred skins, making it the most wallet-friendly and still-legible way into the finish.
