Glock-18 | Groundwater (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred is the most worn version of this olive Glock and the easiest to buy. The slide is heavily chipped, the tan details are rubbed down, and bare metal dominates the edges and the front of the pistol. The green base colour is still recognisable, which keeps the skin readable as Groundwater even at its worst.

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.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The slide is painted a pale, slightly mottled green, with faint darker patches toward the front and along the top. The frame, trigger guard and textured grip are a deeper olive drab, giving a clear two-tone split at the slide line.

Large areas of the slide have lost their paint, especially at the front and along the top. The tan details are worn down to bare metal in many places, and the trigger guard and magazine base are clearly chipped. In game the pistol looks rough and weathered from any distance. Patches of the olive frame and the pale green slide remain, so the colour scheme is still recognisable.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in olive, khaki, sand or brown tones blend with the military two-tone scheme. Placing them on the pale green slide gives the best contrast, while a single dark or gold sticker can work as an accent next to the tan details.

What to look at before you buy

• Factory New covers only a narrow strip at the bottom of this skin's range, so compare floats closely if you want the cleanest copy.
• Look at the front edge of the slide, the muzzle and the sights first, because that is where the paint goes first.
• Check the tan magazine base and trigger on worn copies, as their paint loss is easy to spot when inspecting.
• Souvenir versions exist, so check which stickers are applied and how they sit on the slide.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• Budget buyers looking for the cheapest entry into this skin.
• Players who want a rough, weathered sidearm for the pistol rounds.
• In short: the lowest-cost way to own Groundwater, with heavy wear as part of the look.
