XM1014 | Elegant Vines

XM1014 | Elegant Vines is a CS2 shotgun skin with red flowers and curling green vines over a dark reddish-brown base. Its decorated barrel, magazine tube, and receiver contrast with plain gray furniture. The botanical look suits nature-themed inventories and players who prefer detailed patterns. Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested copies are available, including Souvenir versions.

Description

XM1014 | Elegant Vines brings a botanical design to the fully automatic XM1014 shotgun in CS2. This Heavy weapon skin uses an Anodized Multicolored finish rather than a plain, single-color treatment. Its decoration runs across the barrel, magazine tube, and receiver, connecting the upper assembly through a shared floral motif. Gray mechanical parts frame the colored surfaces without carrying the same dense pattern. The combination suits players building a red-and-green inventory or choosing a nature-inspired weapon finish. Fine stems and leaves give buyers smaller details to examine alongside the broader color scheme. Regular and Souvenir copies offer different collecting options without changing the skin's named finish. Buyers can compare exterior, exact float value, and version to find a copy that matches their preferences.

History and Origin

XM1014 | Elegant Vines was released on September 21, 2021, with the Operation Riptide update. Valve created the design, rather than a community designer. The skin belongs to The 2021 Mirage Collection, linking its origin to that collection's release. Its flavor text presents the plant motif as something whose beauty depends on the observer. Today, collection-based trade-up contracts provide a route to a regular copy, with the result selected randomly among eligible Restricted skins. The Souvenir version is available through Mirage Souvenir Packages. There are 8 supporting packages, including Stockholm 2021 Mirage Souvenir Package and Antwerp 2022 Mirage Souvenir Package. Existing copies can also be purchased on the Steam Community Market or acquired through player-to-player trades.

Finish Style

Elegant Vines uses the Anodized Multicolored finish style to combine floral decoration with a dark metal-colored foundation. A reddish-brown base covers the barrel, magazine tube, and receiver. Green vines curl over those surfaces, tracing winding paths along the weapon's upper sections. Red flower shapes punctuate the greenery and remain within the same decorated areas. Fine stems and leaves make the pattern dense rather than sparse or centered around a single emblem. The ribbed fore-end is dark gray, with lighter metallic edges and grooves breaking up its surface. A pale gray, textured pistol grip introduces a lighter neutral element beneath the receiver. The skeletal stock is predominantly dark gray and black, keeping the rear of the shotgun visually restrained. Together, the plain furniture and patterned metal create a clear contrast between mechanical structure and organic decoration.

Float Value

The XM1014 | Elegant Vines float value ranges from 0.00 to 0.37. Its available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested, with no Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred versions. Regular and Souvenir copies are available, but there is no StatTrak™ version; version availability is separate from exterior condition.

Rarity and Popularity

XM1014 | Elegant Vines has Restricted rarity within The 2021 Mirage Collection. Its collection acquisition chance is 0.21%, which should not be treated as the probability of a particular trade-up recipe. Documented professional owners include Snax, roeJ, and aumaN, although ownership alone does not establish current market demand.

Why it’s Popular:

• Dense green vines and red flowers give the shotgun a botanical identity

• Gray furniture contrasts clearly with the reddish-brown patterned metal

• Souvenir versions connect the finish with Mirage event packages

• Documented ownership by Snax, roeJ, and aumaN

Price Range

The live XM1014 | Elegant Vines CS2 skin price range is $13.76 to $61.06. These bounds cover the whole item, not a particular exterior or version. Compare Factory New, Minimal Wear, and Field-Tested listings separately rather than assuming their prices are interchangeable. Exact float value provides a more specific condition reference than the exterior label alone. Check whether each listing is regular or Souvenir before comparing purchase options, and do not assume either version carries a fixed premium.

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. Open a Souvenir Package

Open an eligible Mirage Souvenir Package for a chance at the Souvenir version. Examples include Stockholm 2021 Mirage Souvenir Package and Antwerp 2022 Mirage Souvenir Package. Opening a package does not guarantee Elegant Vines, while buying an existing copy targets the skin directly.

3. Trade Up Contracts

A contract using 10 Mil-Spec Grade skins from The 2021 Mirage Collection produces 1 Restricted skin from that collection. Elegant Vines is a possible result, with the outcome selected randomly among the collection's Restricted skins. Compare the input cost with a direct purchase before choosing this route.

4. Buy on the Steam Community Market

The Steam Community Market provides a direct purchase route for XM1014 | Elegant Vines. Compare the listed exterior and regular or Souvenir status, then verify the exact float when assessing a specific copy. Purchasing an existing item avoids the random result of a package opening or trade-up contract.

5. Trade with Other Players

Player-to-player trading provides another route to an existing Elegant Vines. Confirm the offered item's exterior, float, and regular or Souvenir status before accepting the exchange. This route allows selection of a known copy rather than relying on a random collection outcome.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Professional ownership provides a documented collecting angle, but current demand trends and long-term supply are uncertain. Regular and Souvenir availability creates several options to compare without establishing that those versions trade at similar prices. When deciding to buy, sell, or trade, assess the exact exterior, float, and version instead of relying on the finish name alone.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Restricted rarity within The 2021 Mirage Collection

• Documented ownership by professional players

• Souvenir connections to Mirage event packages

• Valve-designed floral finish with distinctive color contrast

The investment rating is medium: Restricted rarity, Souvenir availability, and documented professional ownership support its collecting appeal. The main risk is uncertainty around supply and demand, with no established price trend supporting a stronger investment verdict or promised returns.
