Glock-18 | Catacombs (Factory New)

Skin overview

Glock-18 | Catacombs covers the slide in a dense hydrographic of skulls laid over a silver metallic base, while the frame stays a plain muted grey. In Factory New the skull print is sharp across the whole slide, and the metallic sheen comes through evenly between the shapes. This grade is for buyers who want the pattern exactly as designed, with crisp edges at the muzzle and along the top.

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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Factory New

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 colour scheme is monochrome: dark grey shapes, lighter silver highlights and no bright accents. On worn copies the muzzle face, the front corners and the top edges of the slide lose the print first, followed by the raised areas around the ejection port and rear serrations.

The skull print is complete on every part of the slide, including the muzzle face and the top edges. The silver base shows only where the design places it, between the skulls. At normal distance in game the slide reads as a clean, slightly glossy grey pattern. The grey frame and grip look uniform.

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 should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the skull print fully intact on every edge.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for a monochrome build.
• The choice for anyone who wants the pattern exactly as designed.
