Glock-18 | Groundwater (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

In Field-Tested the olive Glock starts to look like a sidearm that has seen use. Paint has worn through along the top of the slide and at the front edges, while the frame and the tan parts still hold most of their colour. The simple two-tone scheme hides this wear well, so from a normal viewing distance the pistol still reads as green and tidy.

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, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

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.

Wear spreads along the top and side edges of the slide, and the muzzle end shows noticeable bare metal. The sights lose some of their tan paint, and light scuffs begin on the magazine base. In game the pistol still reads as a green two-tone Glock, with the wear visible mainly when inspecting. The flat sides of the frame and the grip texture are still mostly intact.

Stickers and crafts

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 Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who want a tidy-looking pistol for everyday matches at a lower cost.
• Those who like a lightly used military look on a sidearm.
• In short: a sensible everyday option that still reads as clean in game.
