Glock-18 | Wraiths (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Wraiths gives the Glock-18 a ghostly engraved slide and a sculpted stone-like frame in muted browns and greys. Battle-Scarred strips the raised relief and the slide edges down heavily, leaving the carved forms more as texture than as detailed faces. It is the most affordable way into the design and fits its grim theme.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

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

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The slide is a dark bronze-brown with deep engraving of lost souls: elongated faces and swirling, flame-like forms run along its whole length, with plain serrations at the rear. The muzzle end of the slide is lighter and polished, framing the barrel opening.

The slide is heavily worn, with the raised engraving and edges rubbed down across most of its length. The frame, trigger guard and grip show scratches on all protruding areas. In game the artwork reads mainly as a rough texture rather than distinct faces. Only the deepest recesses of the engraving and the frame carving keep their original darker tone.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within its wear range, since the slide edges and muzzle show the difference most.
• Look at the high points of the slide engraving, because they lose detail before the rest of the finish.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag, as they change the quiet, muted look of this skin.
• Decide whether you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir version, since both exist for this skin.
