Glock-18 | Death Rattle (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Death Rattle puts a dark brown snakeskin pattern with lighter scale patches on the Glock-18. In Battle-Scarred the finish is worn on the edges, front of the slide and grip, yet the float range of this skin stops early in this grade, so the pattern does not fade out completely. The result is a rough but still recognisable reptile finish.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The slide, frame and grip are covered in a continuous snakeskin hydrographic: a dense pattern of small scales in dark brown with large irregular tan blotches. On the slide the blotches run along the top and sides, while the grip shows the lighter patches most clearly.

Battle-Scarred has the heaviest wear: worn edges across the slide and frame, scratched grip edges and a rubbed trigger guard. Because the skin's range ends early in this grade, the pattern still covers most of the surfaces. In game it looks dusty and rough but clearly snakeskin. The central parts of the slide sides hold the most colour.

• Compare how the tan blotches fall on the slide and grip, because placement differs between copies.
• Souvenir copies come with preset stickers, so check whether they suit you before buying.
