XM1014 | Mockingbird (Battle-Scarred)

The XM1014 | Mockingbird (Battle-Scarred, BS) is a Mil-Spec shotgun finish with a silver and gold bird design, worn down to its most weathered state. It's the cheapest way into the finish, trading a scuffed surface for the lowest price on the ladder.

Design

Mockingbird features a silver-and-gold flock of birds painted across the receiver — a decorative motif that contrasts sharply with the shotgun's rough, close-quarters purpose. The design is a community submission by Von.Bonelli-XII, and it ships with the in-game line "Time spent with birds is never wasted."

XM1014 | Mockingbird (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

This finish uses the full float scale up to 1.00, so its Battle-Scarred copies — running from about 0.45 to the maximum — reach the heaviest wear the game allows. Expect a dulled metallic surface, widespread scuffing, and thinned paint across the body. The silver-and-gold birds fade but stay recognizable, keeping the design identifiable even at its roughest.

XM1014 | Mockingbird 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 heavily worn copy so cheap.

XM1014 | Mockingbird Case and Collection

Battle-Scarred Mockingbird comes from The Fever Collection, unboxed from the Fever Case that debuted with the Spring Forward update in March 2025. 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 | Mockingbird Patterns

Because the bird artwork is fixed rather than seed-driven, every Battle-Scarred copy carries the same silver-and-gold layout — there's no pattern to reroll and no blue-gem rarity waiting to be found. Only wear and float distinguish one shotgun from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

You'll also find a StatTrak Mockingbird from the Fever 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 Fever Case has never been a Major drop.

XM1014 | Mockingbird Price

Battle-Scarred is the entry point of the finish's price ladder, the cheapest grade for anyone who wants the bird design and accepts the wear. It's the most economical route to the finish and sits firmly in budget territory. It's available on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred Mockingbird still recognizable?

Yes. Even with a dulled metallic surface and widespread scuffing, the silver-and-gold flock stays visible enough to read as Mockingbird in-game. Battle-Scarred is about accepting obvious wear for the lowest possible price rather than losing the design, which the sizable bird artwork holds onto reasonably well.

Does the metallic finish take wear badly at Battle-Scarred?

More than a matte finish would, since the reflective silver and gold rely on a bright surface that dulls as wear increases. At Battle-Scarred the sheen is largely gone and the detailing softens, but the overall flock remains identifiable, so the skin keeps its core identity despite the heavy weathering.

Who should buy the Battle-Scarred grade?

Anyone who wants the Mockingbird design on their XM1014 for the lowest cost, or who's building a worn, hard-used loadout. Since it uses the full float scale, this is the most weathered version of the finish, and it's comfortably the cheapest way to add the bird artwork to a collection.
