Glock-18 | Nuclear Garden (Factory New)

Skin overview

Glock-18 | Nuclear Garden is a Restricted pistol finish with an acid green slide covered in dark, blotchy shapes that look like something growing in contaminated soil. In Factory New the anodized colour is at full saturation, the yellow-green glow near the muzzle is crisp and every dark spot keeps a sharp outline. The plain grey frame stays neutral and makes the slide stand out even more.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

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

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The finish is applied to the slide only: a saturated acid green base covered in darker green and near-black blotches with swirling, organic outlines. Towards the muzzle the green turns lighter and more yellow, giving the front of the slide a glowing look. The frame, trigger guard and grip keep the plain grey polymer colour with the standard texture on the grip. On worn copies the anodized colour goes first from the front edge of the slide, the muzzle area and the upper edges, then from the flat top surface. The grey frame does not change with wear.

The slide is fully coloured with no scratches on the edges or the top. The yellow-green transition near the muzzle is smooth and the dark blotches have clean outlines. In game the slide looks evenly bright from any angle. The grey frame is clean as on every grade.

The float of Glock-18 | Nuclear Garden ranges from 0 to 0.7; the Factory New quality covers 0–0.07 — 10% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

What to look at before you buy

• Look at the front edge of the slide and the muzzle area, since this is where colour loss starts.
• Check where the float sits within the wear range, as low floats in each grade keep the top of the slide noticeably cleaner.
• Souvenir copies come with fixed stickers, so decide whether you want them on the slide.
• Check applied stickers and name tags, because they change the look and the resale appeal.
