XM1014 | Charter (Battle-Scarred)

The XM1014 | Charter (Battle-Scarred, BS) is a Consumer Grade shotgun printed with a tan pattern of crests, scrawls, and text from the Magna Carta in its most heavily worn condition. It's the cheapest way into the parchment look, trading surface polish for the lowest entry price.

Design

The finish is a tan document pattern through and through — heraldic crests, handwritten scrawls, and Magna Carta text wrapped over the shotgun's body. Valve built it, and it carries a pointed in-game line: "Everyone is subject to due process—even you."

XM1014 | Charter (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Battle-Scarred is the top of the capped 0.00–0.65 float range. That cap sits below 1.0, so even at its worst this finish stays milder than a full-scale skin's Battle-Scarred grade — heavy scuffing and paint thinning across the body, but never the fully stripped, bare-metal extreme. The document pattern survives to keep the look identifiable.

XM1014 | Charter Rarity

Its rarity is Consumer Grade, the gray rung at the bottom of the standard weapon ranks. As the most common tier, it keeps the finish widely available — a plus at the budget end, exactly where this grade lives.

XM1014 | Charter Case and Collection

This shotgun is drawn from The Control Collection, introduced with Operation Broken Fang on December 3, 2020. Because the collection has no case, copies were never unboxed; they reach players through collection drops and market trades instead.

XM1014 | Charter Patterns

There's no pattern lottery here. The Magna Carta document design is fixed and applied identically to every copy, so the seed index means nothing and no "blue gem" variant exists to hunt. Wear and float are the sole things that set one unit apart from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Only the regular version of this finish exists — there's no StatTrak one, as no case ever produced a counter for it, and no Souvenir edition. Souvenir weapons are minted purely for Major-tournament packages, and this finish was never part of one.

XM1014 | Charter Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade of the finish — rock-bottom pricing on a skin that's already affordable throughout its ladder. It's for players who want the document-themed XM1014 for the least possible outlay. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is the Battle-Scarred Charter still recognizable?

Yes. Even with heavy scuffing, the tan crests, scrawls, and Magna Carta text keep the parchment character readable at a glance in-game. Battle-Scarred trades surface condition for the lowest price rather than erasing the look, and the finish's float cap stops the wear short of a fully stripped extreme.

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

Because Charter is float-capped at 0.65 instead of the full 1.0, its Battle-Scarred copies never climb to the harshest wear. The result is honest, heavy aging that stays short of the bare-metal, blown-out extreme an uncapped skin would hit — and the busy document pattern hides much of the damage anyway.

Who should buy the Battle-Scarred grade?

Anyone who wants the document-themed XM1014 for the smallest spend and isn't put off by visible wear. It's a great low-cost pick for a rugged loadout, and thanks to both the float cap and the busy pattern it still looks like a deliberate parchment finish rather than a wreck.
