XM1014 | Quicksilver

Origin Story

The XM1014 Quicksilver, released on January 8, 2015, as part of The Chroma Collection, features a distinctive design. It is painted with a translucent hydrographic depicting a terrain map motif over a metallic silver base. The in-game description notes this application method, giving the shotgun its unique appearance. Its flavor text, "Sometimes you need an unstable element to solve your problems - Kotaro Izaki, Breach Expert," adds a layer of intrigue to the skin's identity.

Drop Chance

XM1014 | Quicksilver is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Chroma Case: approximately 15.98% per opening (roughly 1 in 6). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 5 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.60% from the Chroma Case (about 1 in 63). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.5. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($1.80): The metallic finish is pristine, showcasing the full vibrancy of its design.
• Minimal Wear ($0.82): Slight dulling of the metallic sheen may be present, but the overall appearance remains largely intact.
• Field-Tested ($2.18): The metallic surface shows noticeable darkening and a reduction in color saturation, particularly on exposed areas.
• Well-Worn ($0.78): The patina effect is more pronounced, with significant darkening across the weapon's body.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.74): The metal appears heavily dulled and discolored, with much of the original luster lost due to extensive patination.

Model

Quicksilver uses the legacy XM1014 model, introduced with Full Spectrum on January 8, 2015. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
