XM1014 | Blue Spruce (Field-Tested)

The XM1014 | Blue Spruce (Field-Tested, FT) is a Consumer Grade shotgun skin with parts spray-painted solid colors in a moss color scheme. Field-Tested is the balanced middle grade — some honest wear on a plain palette, for less than the higher conditions.

Design

At its core the finish spray-paints individual parts of the shotgun in solid colors on a moss color scheme, an understated, outdoorsy look with no busy graphics. The finish is Valve's work and comes from one of the game's first collections.

XM1014 | Blue Spruce (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

On the finish's 0.06–0.80 float scale, Field-Tested lands in the middle. Expect light scratching on the edges and receiver, and the solid panels pick up a little wear, but the moss palette stays clearly readable. This is the everyday version many players settle on — a fair trade of a little wear for a friendlier price.

XM1014 | Blue Spruce Rarity

Rarity: Consumer Grade — the entry-level white tier at the bottom of the standard weapon grades. It's the most common rarity color, though this finish's value comes from scarcity rather than its grade.

XM1014 | Blue Spruce Case and Collection

This skin is one of The Lake Collection, a set that launched with the "Out with the old, in with the new" update in November 2013. There's no case behind it; regular copies come through collection drops, and the collection's age and small footprint make surviving copies relatively rare.

XM1014 | Blue Spruce Patterns

The solid-color scheme lands identically on every copy because the design is fixed rather than seed-driven. That means no paint seed to compare and no blue-gem variant to seek — wear and float are all that separate one Blue Spruce from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

You won't find a StatTrak copy of this finish, because StatTrak is minted inside weapon cases and this skin never dropped from one. It does turn up in a Souvenir form as well as the regular finish, awarded at Major events — the DreamHack 2013 Souvenir Package was the first, followed by additional Major souvenir packages over time.

XM1014 | Blue Spruce Price

Field-Tested sits in the middle of this finish's ladder — cheaper than the Minimal Wear (MW) and Factory New (FN) grades, though the scarce early-collection supply still makes it a premium pick within the XM1014 lineup. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the Field-Tested Blue Spruce look worn?

Only lightly. There's some scratching on the edges and receiver, but the flat solid-color panels don't highlight it, so the wear stays subtle. From normal distance it reads as an intact moss-toned finish, which makes Field-Tested a sensible balance of looks and cost on a scarce skin.

Is Field-Tested the best value Blue Spruce?

Relatively, yes. It costs less than the cleaner grades while keeping the moss palette legible, since flat panels don't show light wear much. Bear in mind every grade of this finish carries a premium from scarce supply, so "value" here still means paying above a typical Consumer skin.

Where does the Blue Spruce come from without a case?

From The Lake Collection directly. Regular copies drop as collection items rather than being unboxed from a weapon case. The Souvenir version, separately, comes from Major-tournament packages. Because the collection dates to 2013 and was lightly farmed, its finishes are scarce and hold value on the market.
