XM1014 | Quicksilver (Factory New)

The XM1014 | Quicksilver (Factory New) is a Mil-Spec shotgun finish that layers a translucent terrain-map hydrographic over metallic silver paint for a sleek gray look. Factory New is the cleanest grade, keeping the metallic sheen bright and the map motif crisp.

Design

Quicksilver runs a translucent hydrographic printed with a terrain-map motif over a metallic silver base, producing a cool gray, almost topographic surface. It's a design by Algis, and it carries the in-game line "Sometimes you need an unstable element to solve your problems - Kotaro Izaki, Breach Expert."

XM1014 | Quicksilver (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish spans float 0.00–0.50, with Factory New sitting at the bottom of that range under 0.07. At this grade the metallic silver reads at its brightest and the terrain-map layer stays sharp, with no scuffing to break up the reflective surface. It's the grade to reach for if you want the design as defined as it gets.

XM1014 | Quicksilver Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue tier, the entry level of the colored weapon grades. It's the most common of those rarities, which keeps this finish easy to find and affordable.

XM1014 | Quicksilver Case and Collection

Quicksilver is part of The Chroma Collection and drops from the Chroma Case, released in January 2015. The Mil-Spec tier as a whole unboxes at roughly 79.92% from the case (a rate shared across the tier's skins), so as the blue-grade item it's among the most frequently pulled.

XM1014 | Quicksilver Patterns

The terrain-map hydrographic is a fixed design — it prints the same way over the silver base on every copy, so there's no paint seed to roll and no blue-gem variant to hunt. Only wear and float separate one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak version exists, minted from the Chroma Case, adding a confirmed-kill counter that stays with the item permanently and never gets wiped through trades or sales. There's no Souvenir edition, though — Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages, and the Chroma Case has never been a Major drop.

XM1014 | Quicksilver Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's price ladder as the cleanest grade, carrying a premium over the worn conditions, while the skin overall stays in affordable mid-tier territory. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What makes Factory New Quicksilver stand out?

At Factory New the metallic silver base shines at its brightest and the terrain-map layer stays sharp, with no scuffing over the reflective surface. Because the finish leans on that metallic sheen, the top grade shows it off best — reflective skins lose the most character to wear, so the difference from lower grades is easy to spot.

Which gloves and loadout match the Quicksilver?

Its cool gray, metallic palette suits a sleek, modern loadout, so gloves in gray, silver, or black tones complement it well. Pair it with other metallic or monochrome skins for a clean, futuristic set — the Quicksilver fits a restrained, high-tech theme rather than a colorful one.

Is Factory New worth the premium?

If the metallic look matters to you, yes. The silver sheen and map motif are mint at Factory New, and since the skin sits in affordable mid-tier pricing the premium is manageable. Buyers who mainly want the design cheaply can still get a good copy a grade or two lower, though the sheen dulls as wear rises.
