XM1014 | Banana Leaf

XM1014 | Banana Leaf is a CS2 shotgun skin with a green-and-yellow Hydrographic leaf pattern. Overlapping foliage covers the main weapon surfaces, while dark fittings provide contrast. The botanical design suits players who prefer colorful, nature-inspired finishes over plain weapon coatings. Standard and Souvenir copies are available across every exterior, but there is no StatTrak™ version.

Description

XM1014 | Banana Leaf brings a layered botanical finish to a fully automatic shotgun in CS2. The weapon belongs to the Heavy category, with enough coated surface across its tubes, receiver and stock to display the repeating leaf design. Its visual identity comes from broad yellow-green leaves crossed by darker, curved veins rather than lettering or isolated decorative symbols. Mostly dark gray and black fittings interrupt the pattern, keeping some parts of the weapon visually plain. The look suits players who want a colorful shotgun with an organic theme instead of a restrained, uniform coating. It can also appeal to collectors interested in Valve-created finishes from The St. Marc Collection. Standard copies and Souvenir versions give buyers different collecting options without changing the underlying Banana Leaf design. When choosing a listing, compare its exterior, exact float and version alongside the item image rather than relying on the finish name alone.

History and Origin

XM1014 | Banana Leaf was released on November 18, 2019. Its arrival was part of the Operation Shattered Web update, establishing the historical release context for the finish. Valve created the skin, rather than a community designer. It belongs to The St. Marc Collection, which connects its origin to a collection-based acquisition route. Consumer Grade skins from that collection can be used in trade-up contracts that may produce Banana Leaf as an Industrial Grade result. Today, the Steam Community Market provides a direct purchase route without requiring a random contract outcome. Player-to-player trading offers another way to obtain an existing copy from another inventory. Its in-game flavor text is "Blood on the leaves".

Finish Style

Banana Leaf uses a Hydrographic finish to place a green-and-yellow botanical pattern across the shotgun. Overlapping leaves create a layered design rather than a single isolated graphic or a flat block of color. Broad yellow-green shapes form the main leaf surfaces, while darker green vein lines curve through them and add finer detail. The pattern wraps around both the barrel and magazine tube, carrying the visual theme along the weapon's long forward sections. It also covers the fore-end, extending the foliage beyond those tubular surfaces. The angular receiver and stock continue the leaf motif, connecting differently shaped parts through the same colors and linework. The pistol grip, trigger area, sights and butt pad remain mostly dark gray or black, breaking up the coated areas. Those plain fittings contrast with the busy leafwork, giving the finish a decorative character without applying the same colors to every component.

Float Value

The XM1014 | Banana Leaf float value ranges from 0.00 to 0.60. Available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred, with no exterior category missing. Standard and Souvenir versions exist, but there is no StatTrak™ version; version availability is separate from the float that describes cosmetic condition.

Rarity and Popularity

XM1014 | Banana Leaf is Industrial Grade, a rarity classification separate from its exterior and float value. It can be a random Industrial Grade result when Consumer Grade inputs from The St. Marc Collection are used in a trade-up contract. Professional ownership includes Xyp9x, although that alone does not establish broad demand or future trading performance.

Why it’s Popular:

• Green-and-yellow foliage gives the shotgun a distinct botanical identity

• Dark fittings contrast with the detailed leaf pattern

• Souvenir availability offers an additional collecting option

• Every exterior is available for different condition preferences

Price Range

The live CS2 skin price range for XM1014 | Banana Leaf is $8.70 to $40.00. These bounds cover the whole skin, not a fixed exterior or version. Compare listings by their exact float values rather than treating an exterior label as a complete description of condition. Standard and Souvenir copies should be evaluated separately, with the version checked before deciding whether a listing fits a collection or loadout. Inspect the item image alongside the price when choosing which copy to buy, sell or trade.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Trade Up Contracts

A Trade Up Contract using 10 Consumer Grade skins from The St. Marc Collection produces 1 Industrial Grade skin from that collection. Banana Leaf is a possible result, but the outcome is random among the collection's Industrial Grade skins. This route offers a chance at the finish rather than a direct purchase of a chosen copy.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy XM1014 | Banana Leaf on the Steam Community Market by selecting a listing with the desired exterior and version. Check whether the item is standard or Souvenir, then compare its float and appearance before purchasing. Direct buying avoids the random result involved in a trade-up contract.

4. Trade with Other Players

XM1014 | Banana Leaf can also be obtained through a trade with another player. Review the offered copy's exterior, float and standard or Souvenir status before accepting an exchange. A trade concerns that specific inventory item, so its details matter more than the finish name alone.

Trading and Investment Considerations

The finish has a professional ownership example in Xyp9x, but professional ownership alone does not establish broad demand or future resale performance. Buyers and sellers should compare standard and Souvenir copies separately, then check exterior and exact float within each version. Without clearer supply and trading evidence, assumptions about quick resale or appreciation would be speculative.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Valve-created finish from The St. Marc Collection

• Souvenir availability adds a distinct collecting option

• Leaf pattern provides a clear visual identity

• Professional ownership includes Xyp9x

Investment performance remains uncertain; collection identity, Souvenir availability and professional ownership are collecting attributes, not evidence supporting a medium investment rating. Those features provide reasons to consider the skin, but they do not demonstrate sustained demand or a rising price trend. The main risk is uncertain resale performance, so a purchase should not depend on expected returns.
