Glock-18 | Sand Dune (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Glock-18 | Sand Dune in Battle-Scarred keeps its sandy colour identity but shows heavy paint loss along the slide, muzzle and magazine base. The beige layers look patchy, with dark metal showing in broad areas, giving the pistol a rough desert-worn character. The range does not reach the very bottom of the float scale, so the paint never disappears entirely.

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.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The slide is sprayed a pale sand colour with faint mottling, and the rear serrations carry the same tone. The polymer frame and textured grip are a slightly deeper tan, while the trigger, slide release and small controls sit in a similar muted beige.

Large areas of the slide have lost their paint, with dark metal showing across the top, muzzle and serrations. The magazine base and frame edges are heavily worn, and scuffs reach the controls. At normal distance the pistol reads as patchy and weathered, though the sandy tone is still recognisable. The grip panels remain the most intact part.

What to check before buying

• Look at the slide's top edges and the muzzle, because these are the first places where the paint chips.
• Within each grade compare the float position, as copies at the cleaner end show noticeably less dark metal on the slide.
• Souvenir copies come with stickers already applied, so check whether those stickers fit what you want.
• Check any applied stickers or name tag, since they change how the plain beige finish looks.
