XM1014 | Heaven Guard

Origin Story

The XM1014 Heaven Guard, released on May 1, 2014, as part of The Huntsman Collection with The Hunt Begins update, features a dark base adorned with subtle hydrographics and dry-transfer decals of white wings. This skin is widely considered a budget-friendly option for the XM1014, serving as a common and affordable choice rather than a high-end collector's item. It often functions as a filler skin in loadouts or a thematic pick for inventories centered around an angelic or guardian motif. While not a prestige item, its consistent visual theme makes it a recognizable piece from an earlier era of CS2 skins.

XM1014 | Heaven Guard is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Huntsman Weapon Case: approximately 3.20% per opening (roughly 1 in 31). The 15.98% Restricted tier rate is split across 5 Restricted skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.32% from the Huntsman Weapon Case (about 1 in 313).

Sticker Compatibility

Stickers in red, orange, or black tones complement the skin's dark base and accents, while white or metallic stickers can echo the wing decals. The XM1014 typically places stickers on the receiver and stock, with the receiver-side sticker being most visible in first-person view. As a Custom Paint Job skin, its design is consistent across all pattern indexes, making it a suitable canvas for creative sticker applications.
