Glock-18 | Trace Lock (Factory New)

Skin overview

Glock-18 | Trace Lock is a pale, almost monochrome finish: grey concentric circles spread from the rear of the slide under a thin holographic line pattern. In Factory New the light base is even across the gun, and the fine lines and small circle nodes stay crisp. This grade suits buyers who want the schematic look with no breaks in the paint.

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.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

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

Appearance in Factory New

The slide is covered in a pale silver-grey base with a set of concentric grey circles centred near its rear, around the area of the logo. Thin dark lines with small circular nodes run along the slide and frame like a system diagram, joined by a faint pinkish holographic line along the slide. The grip carries a dotted texture with broad diagonal grey bands, and the trigger guard and magazine baseplate stay in the same light tone. On worn copies the paint goes first from the slide edges, the muzzle, the rear of the slide and the bottom of the magazine, with the trigger guard and grip edges following.

The light base is uniform, with no visible breaks on edges or the muzzle. The fine lines, circle nodes and the pink holographic line are sharp. In game the gun reads as a clean pale Glock with visible rings on the slide. Everything from slide to magazine baseplate looks untouched.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear range, since scratches on the pale base are easy to see.
• Look at the slide edges, muzzle and magazine baseplate, which lose paint first.
• Make sure the rings and fine lines on the slide are not broken on the side you see in game.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag so they match the light grey palette.
