Glock-18 | Catacombs (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Glock-18 | Catacombs is a grey and silver skull pattern on the slide, set against a plain grey frame. Since the float range of this skin ends early, Battle-Scarred copies sit only at the start of that grade, so the skulls are worn heavily but not erased. It is the cheapest way to get the motif, with a rough, weathered surface instead of a clean print.

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.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The finish is concentrated on the slide, which carries a dense hydrographic of grey skulls over a silver metallic base, running from the muzzle to the rear sight. The frame, trigger guard and textured grip stay a plain muted grey, giving the pistol a two-tone look with a busy top and a calm lower half.

The print is heavily worn across the top, edges and front of the slide, with bare silver dominating those areas. Because the range ends early, these copies are only at the mild end of the grade, so skull shapes remain on the slide sides. In game the slide looks scratched and patchy, with the motif visible on a closer look. The plain grey frame changes the least of all parts.

StatTrak™ and Souvenir

There is also a the StatTrak™ version: the counter on the weapon tracks kills. Right now it is 2.7× dearer than the regular one. There is also a the Souvenir version with tournament stickers.

Which stickers suit it

Black, white, silver and grey stickers keep the monochrome skull theme intact, while a single red or deep green accent stands out well against the grey. The plain frame below the slide is the cleanest place for stickers, since it does not compete with the busy pattern.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the grade, since a lower value keeps the muzzle and slide edges cleaner.
• Look at the muzzle face and top edges of the slide in the inspect view, as these lose the print first.
• Check whether the copy is StatTrak™ or Souvenir, because both versions exist and are listed separately.
• Review applied stickers and the name tag, as they change the look of the plain grey frame.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Budget buyers who want the skin at the lowest entry point.
• Players who care about the weathered look more than a clean pattern.
