About the item
Description
The XM1014 brings fully automatic force to close-range rooms; its rapid wall of pellets gives the shotgun a fierce close-range character. For the Black Tie treatment, a custom painted design uses the body as its canvas, placing major details where they remain clear at ordinary viewing angles.
The decorative layer changes the surface character but preserves the familiar silhouette and readable construction.
History
The Black Tie design joined the Counter-Strike catalog as a distinct work with its own family of variants.
The moment of release matters most to its history because that is when the artwork gained official in-game status. Every Black Tie condition on the XM1014 continues one design rather than forming a separate release.
Rarity
Within the game's classification, XM1014 | Black Tie carries Restricted rarity. The tier belongs to the artwork itself, so a cleaner or more worn example keeps the same classification.
Rarity belongs to the family as a whole rather than one XM1014 example. The added properties of an edition do not change the tier assigned to the underlying artwork.
Characteristics
The Black Tie treatment works with that character instead of burying the item's form beneath decoration.
On the XM1014, the Black Tie treatment uses the Custom Paint Job method, shaping the way the image meets its material and geometry. Cleaner variants reveal more small detail, whereas worn examples present the same work with a rougher surface.
Recognition
XM1014 | Black Tie is easy to recognize through the pairing of a familiar silhouette with a distinct surface treatment. Its identity does not depend on inspecting tiny details.
A clear visual rhythm keeps Black Tie from disappearing beside other finishes made for the XM1014. Condition adds another visible distinction: cleaner examples preserve more of the original detail, while abrasion gives the same design a rougher, quieter character.
Availability
The available editions of XM1014 | Black Tie are standard edition, StatTrak™ and Souvenir. Wear variants of the XM1014 include Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred, each with its own degree of finish preservation.
No dedicated container is listed for Black Tie. Its available editions and conditions are still treated separately. Edition and condition describe different qualities, so matching wear does not merge separate versions.
Origin
It belongs to these collections: The Chroma 3 Collection.
Versions
The regular edition retains the item’s base properties; StatTrak™ adds a kill counter to the item; Souvenir marks the item as a tournament release.
Edition and condition form two distinct layers of comparison; matching one does not make the items identical. The XM1014 | Black Tie family remains visually consistent, while version and wear describe the qualities of the selected example.
