Glock-18 | Synth Leaf (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Restricted Glock-18 finish uses a cool palette of teal leaves with purple shading, applied as a single hydrographic layer over the whole frame and slide. In Minimal Wear the scheme looks almost the same as a fresh copy, with only faint marks on the sharpest edges. It gives practically the full look of the skin at a cleaner-than-average grade.

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.

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

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

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The slide is covered in a dense hydrographic layer of teal and dark blue-green leaves with purple veins and shading, with the rear serrations picking up the same print. The frame and trigger guard continue the pattern in slightly lighter teal tones, so the whole pistol reads as one surface.

Small light scuffs may appear on the muzzle edge and the front corners of the slide. The leaf print on the sides of the slide, frame and grip remains complete. At normal in-game distance it is hard to tell apart from Factory New. The grip and trigger guard still look untouched.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Glock-18 | Synth Leaf is 0–0.7; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (11% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Which stickers suit it

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a low float in Field-Tested looks much closer to Minimal Wear.
• Look at the muzzle, the slide edges and the grip base, as these lose the print first.
• On Souvenir copies, check which stickers are applied and whether they fit the teal and purple palette.
• Review any name tag or stickers in the inspect view before buying.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-pristine look without going to the top grade.
• Crafters for whom tiny edge marks do not matter under stickers.
• A sensible balance between a clean finish and cost.
