XM1014 | Halftone Shift

Origin Story

The XM1014 | Halftone Shift, released on October 4, 2024, as part of The Armory update, features a custom paint job with a multicolored halftone design. This visual identity creates a bright, dot-pattern look. The skin belongs to The Graphic Design Collection, which explores art as its central theme. Its in-game flavor text notes, "It's from a zoo, but instead of animals on display it's art."

Drop Chance

XM1014 | Halftone Shift is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Graphic Design Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Mil-Spec drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 3 other Mil-Spec skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.

Float range 0 to 0.6. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.
