Shop verdict

Worth a look if you want a readable nature skin without neon gradients—stacked yellow-green banana leaves read clearly on the XM1014, and uncommon pricing keeps the Saint Marc “leaf line” approachable.

Skip or wait if you need factory-fresh green at Battle-Scarred prices; above ~0.45 the foliage often looks washed and the edges pick up grime. Always match float to in-game inspect, not the listing thumbnail.

Where to buy: Filter by Saint Marc Collection on C5GAME or the Steam Market—easier than hunting the internal finish name hy_leaf_green.

The official pitch is simple: the body is covered in layered yellow-green banana leaves. No metal flake, no fade—identity is texture and overlap.

Inspect & wear

Hydrographic wraps follow the shotgun’s curves, so handguard, receiver, and barrel can show different leaf density at the same float. There’s no universal “best side” template—pattern placement decides which face looks busier.

• Low wear (roughly FN–MW): Yellow-green stays clean; stacked leaves feel “fuller” in inspect than on small icons.
• Mid wear: Some highlight areas soften; still readable if you care about the leaf motif.
• High wear (toward 0.6): Greens turn grayish, edges look dirty—fine for budget loadouts, weak if you bought it for “fresh jungle.”

Buyer tip: Zoom the dense leaf clusters in inspect and compare to the seller screenshot on C5GAME before you commit.

Value & set context

Only comes from the Saint Marc Collection—no separate named case on the sheet, so supply is collection drops plus secondary market circulation.

Chasing the whole Saint Marc hydro family is more realistic than treating this uncommon piece as a grail. Liquidity moves with the wider market; float and screenshot quality matter more than rarity tier here.

Flavor line—Blood on the leaves—adds a sharp contrast to the tropical theme; a lot of players remember the skin because of that one line, not because it’s rare.

Expert muttering

Valve-house look, not a breakout Workshop star—fits the set’s unified vibe. If “how green is it?” is your question, spin it in-game once; that beats any write-up. Designer credit sits with Valve on the official side—no standalone Workshop author called out.

Bottom line: You’re paying for full-gun foliage plus that bloody leaf quote—pick low wear for crisp green, accept mid-high wear for budget flair, and let inspect be the final word.
