XM1014 | Mockingbird (Factory New)

The XM1014 | Mockingbird (Factory New, FN) is a Mil-Spec shotgun finish showing a silver and gold design of birds in flight custom-painted across the receiver. Factory New is the cleanest grade it comes in, keeping the metallic detailing bright and the artwork fully defined.

Design

Mockingbird sets a silver-and-gold flock of birds in flight against the shotgun's receiver, a graceful, almost decorative motif that stands out on such a workhorse weapon. It's a community design by Von.Bonelli-XII, and it carries the fitting in-game line "Time spent with birds is never wasted."

XM1014 | Mockingbird (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish covers the full float range of 0.00–1.00, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of it, under 0.07. At this grade the silver and gold birds keep their crisp outlines and the metallic sheen reads at its brightest, with no scuffing to interrupt the design. It's the grade to pick if you want the artwork looking its absolute best.

XM1014 | Mockingbird Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue tier, the entry level of the special (colored) weapon grades. It's the most common of the colored rarities, which keeps the finish widely available.

XM1014 | Mockingbird Case and Collection

Mockingbird is part of The Fever Collection and drops from the Fever Case, which launched with the Spring Forward update in March 2025. 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 | Mockingbird Patterns

The bird artwork is a fixed design — the silver and gold flock prints the same way on every copy, so there's no paint seed to roll and no blue-gem variant to hunt. Only wear and float set one copy apart from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak version exists, minted from the Fever Case, adding a confirmed-kill counter; that counter is permanent and never gets wiped when the item is traded or sold. There's no Souvenir edition, though — Souvenir weapons are produced only through Major-tournament packages, and the Fever Case has never been a Major drop.

XM1014 | Mockingbird Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's price ladder as the cleanest grade, carrying a small premium over the rest, though the skin stays in budget territory across the board as a Mil-Spec item. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

What makes Factory New Mockingbird stand out?

At Factory New the silver and gold birds keep sharp edges and the metallic finish shines at its brightest, with zero scuffing across the receiver. Since the design relies on fine detailing and a reflective sheen, the top grade shows it off best — the difference from worn copies is easiest to spot on the artwork itself.

Which gloves and loadout pair with the Mockingbird?

Its silver-and-gold palette suits a bright, elegant loadout, so gloves in tan, gold, or neutral gray tones complement it well. Match it with other metallic or gold-accented pieces for a refined set, and it works nicely alongside sky-toned skins that echo the birds-in-flight theme.

Is Factory New worth the premium?

If the artwork matters to you, yes. The bird design and metallic sheen look their sharpest at Factory New, and because this is a budget Mil-Spec skin the premium is modest in absolute terms. Buyers who mainly want the finish cheaply can still get a great-looking copy a grade or two down.
