XM1014 | Hieroglyph (Battle-Scarred)

The XM1014 | Hieroglyph (Battle-Scarred, BS) is a Consumer Grade shotgun with a gray base and Egyptian hieroglyphs, in its most heavily worn condition. It's the cheapest entry into the glyph design, trading surface polish for the lowest price on the shelf.

Design

The finish paints a gray shotgun body with Egyptian hieroglyphs and decorative ornaments, chasing the look of an ancient relic in line with the Anubis theme. Designed by the community artist ダイショウング, it ships with a brief tag: "The moral of the story."

XM1014 | Hieroglyph (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Battle-Scarred sits at the top of the finish's float scale, which runs the full 0.00–1.00 with no cap — so copies here can reach genuinely heavy wear. Deep scratching and widespread paint loss cover the body, and the gray base takes on a grimier cast, though the hieroglyph detailing keeps the shotgun readable. This is the grade for buyers chasing the lowest price above all.

XM1014 | Hieroglyph Rarity

This finish is Consumer Grade — the white tier, the most common class and the very base of the weapon grades. Its common status means copies are always simple to find.

XM1014 | Hieroglyph Case and Collection

The shotgun is part of The Anubis Collection, released in April 2023, where it sits at the lowest tier. As the most common grade in the set, it circulates in large numbers, keeping regular prices firmly at the low end.

XM1014 | Hieroglyph Patterns

No pattern hunting applies to this shotgun: the design is fixed, so the paint-seed index doesn't rearrange the hieroglyphs or ornaments, and every copy wears the artwork identically. With no rare or blue-gem seed in the pool, wear is the only variable from copy to copy.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak edition of this finish — StatTrak counters attach only to skins unboxed from cases, and this collection was never released with one. A Souvenir version does exist next to the regular finish, sourced from Major souvenir packages: the Paris 2023 Anubis Souvenir Package first, then further Major packages at subsequent events.

FAQ

Is the Battle-Scarred version still recognizable?

Yes. Despite heavy wear across the body, the Egyptian hieroglyphs keep the design readable at a glance in-game. Battle-Scarred is about accepting a scuffed surface in exchange for the lowest price — it doesn't erase the glyph detailing, which stays busy enough to carry the shotgun's identity.

Does Battle-Scarred look fully beaten up here?

It can. Unlike some finishes that are float-capped below 1.0, this one runs the full range, so Battle-Scarred copies reach genuinely heavy wear — deep scratches and a grimier gray base. The glyph detailing keeps it legible, but expect this to be the roughest-looking grade of the finish.

Is it worth buying Battle-Scarred to save money?

If budget is the priority, yes. It's the cheapest way to own this finish, and the busy glyph detailing survives the wear. Just note that Well-Worn (WW) and Field-Tested (FT) look cleaner for only a little more, so weigh the small savings against the rougher surface before you decide.
