Glock-18 | Bunsen Burner (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Glock-18 is recognised by its turquoise slide and the stylised blue flames running along its side. In Minimal Wear the patina still reads as fresh, with only faint marks that are hard to spot without looking closely. It keeps nearly the full look of the cleanest grade at a more modest level of condition.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The slide carries a blue patina that shifts from deep teal at the rear to bright cyan near the muzzle. On its side a stylised flame design runs forward, drawn in dark navy outlines with brighter blue tongues inside.

Light specks may appear on the muzzle face and the front corners of the slide. The flames and the side of the slide stay intact. In game the difference from Factory New is barely noticeable in the hand view. The frame still looks untouched.

Stickers and crafts

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear range, since a low float in a grade keeps the muzzle and slide edges cleaner.
• Look at the muzzle face and the front corners of the slide, as these lose the patina first.
• Make sure the flame outlines on the slide side are intact on Field-Tested and more worn copies.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, because they change the look of a simple two-tone finish.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean look without aiming for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters who accept tiny marks at the muzzle.
• A sensible balance between appearance and condition.
