XM1014 | Tranquility

XM1014 | Tranquility is a CS2 shotgun skin with a hand-painted portrait on a red and coral body. A pale-faced woman with flowing yellow-orange hair forms the centerpiece, contrasted by dark barrel tubes. The warm palette suits players who prefer illustrated weapon finishes over simple color schemes. Regular, StatTrak™, and Souvenir versions are available across its exterior range.

Description

XM1014 | Tranquility brings character artwork to the fully automatic XM1014 shotgun in CS2. Its Custom Paint Job finish centers on a hand-painted woman rather than an abstract pattern. Flowing hair and green accents frame the pale face on the receiver, making that section the visual focal point. Red and coral panels extend the warm palette across the fore-end, pistol grip, and stock. The comparatively plain front tubes give the illustrated body room to stand out without covering every surface in artwork. This finish suits players building a warm-colored loadout or choosing a shotgun with a portrait-led design. Happy, f0rest, and mixwell are among the professional players who own this skin. Buyers can compare the exterior, exact float value, and regular or special version before choosing a copy for play or collecting.

History and Origin

XM1014 | Tranquility debuted in CS:GO on November 11, 2014, during the Operation Vanguard update. Its original container was the Operation Vanguard Weapon Case, which remains an acquisition route through existing cases. Steam Workshop community designer SerQ created the finish. The skin belongs to The Vanguard Collection, which also provides its collection-based trade-up route. Its accompanying flavor text references Imogen and The Oni Part 2, contrasting wanting something with needing it. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025. The Operation Vanguard Weapon Case no longer drops, separating its historical release from its current supply situation. Existing cases can still be bought and opened, while finished skins remain obtainable through marketplaces, player trades, and eligible Trade Up Contracts.

Finish Style

The Custom Paint Job combines an illustrated receiver with broad areas of red and coral. The ribbed fore-end, pistol grip, and stock carry the same warm colors as the main body. Pale pink highlights trace their edges, breaking up the solid color blocks without replacing the red base. The receiver shows a pale-faced woman surrounded by flowing yellow-orange hair and green accents. Behind the receiver, a dark red stock inset carries pale, flowing linework that complements the curved portrait artwork. Closely spaced dark grooves add a striped texture to the grip and fore-end. The barrel and lower magazine tube remain dark brown to black, with red fittings near the muzzle. Those relatively plain front tubes keep the detailed artwork concentrated around the body of the shotgun. The overall character comes from the contrast between expressive painted panels and darker, less decorated forward components.

Float Value

The float value ranges from 0.00 to 0.50, covering Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. Float identifies cosmetic condition, while the exterior groups a copy into a named wear tier, so both details matter when comparing listings. Regular, StatTrak, and Souvenir versions are available, with version availability separate from a copy's float and exterior.

Rarity and Popularity

XM1014 | Tranquility has the Classified rarity grade. The chance of obtaining it from the Operation Vanguard Weapon Case is 1.07%, about 1 in 94 openings. Retired case drops limit new container supply, but existing cases can still produce the skin when opened.

Why it’s Popular:

• Hand-painted portrait with flowing yellow-orange hair

• Warm red and coral colors with pale pink highlights

• Detailed receiver artwork contrasted by dark front tubes

• Regular, StatTrak, and Souvenir options for different preferences

Price Range

The live XM1014 | Tranquility price range is $7.57 to $101.50. Compare listings by exterior and version rather than assuming the lowest offer represents every available configuration. Check the exact float alongside the exterior label when choosing between copies in the same condition tier.

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 the Operation Vanguard Weapon Case

Open an Operation Vanguard Weapon Case for a chance to obtain the Tranquility finish. Existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened, even though the case no longer drops. The outcome is random, so buying the finished skin avoids relying on an opening to deliver this particular item.

3. Trade Up Contracts

A Trade Up Contract using 10 Restricted skins from The Vanguard Collection produces 1 Classified skin from that collection. Tranquility is a possible result, with the outcome random among the collection's Classified skins. Compare the required inputs with purchasing a finished copy before committing skins to the contract.

4. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy XM1014 | Tranquility on the Steam Community Market by selecting a listing for the desired version and exterior. This route provides a finished skin rather than a random case or contract outcome. Check the listed condition and item details before completing the purchase.

5. Trade with Other Players

XM1014 | Tranquility can also be acquired through player-to-player trades. Confirm the offered item's exterior, float, and version against the copy being sought. Compare current listings before evaluating the items offered in exchange.

Trading and Investment Considerations

The case's retired drop status means its existing supply shrinks through openings, although unopened cases remain available to trade. Skin supply can still grow through case openings and trade-ups, so a retired case does not make the finish unavailable. Compare regular, StatTrak, and Souvenir listings separately; professional ownership alone does not establish future demand or resale activity.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired case supply cannot be replenished through drops

• Classified rarity with a low case-opening chance

• Documented ownership by professional players

• Distinctive portrait artwork by community designer SerQ

XM1014 | Tranquility earns a medium investment rating, based on retired case supply, Classified rarity, and documented professional ownership. The main risk is uncertain resale demand, while case openings and trade-ups can still add finished skins. This is an editorial opinion, not a promise of returns.
