Glock-18 | Trace Lock (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The skin is built on soft greys and off-white, with a circular grayscale motif and a fine line drawing that resembles a system map. In Minimal Wear the pattern reads almost the same as a clean copy, since any marks are small and sit on edges. It gives nearly the full look of the top grade at a lower one.

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.

Other 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 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.

Small specks may appear on the front edge of the slide, the muzzle and the magazine baseplate. The rings, grip bands and line work remain intact. At normal in-game distance it is hard to tell apart from Factory New. The sides of the slide and the grip still look clean.

What to look at before you buy

• 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.
