Glock-18 | Wraiths (Factory New)

Skin overview

Glock-18 | Wraiths is a Mil-Spec Grade pistol finish with lost souls engraved into a dark bronze slide and a sculpted, stone-coloured frame. In Factory New the relief keeps its sharp edges, so the ghostly faces and swirling forms on the slide read clearly up close. The muted earth tones suit a buyer who wants a detailed but quiet Glock.

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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

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 frame and trigger guard are a grey-taupe tone with a rough, carved surface, and the grip is sculpted so that its front reads like a stone face. On worn copies the muzzle, the top and front edges of the slide and the raised points of the engraving lose their finish first, followed by the trigger guard edge and the base of the grip.

The engraving on the slide is crisp, and the contrast between the dark recesses and the bronze surface is at its strongest. The muzzle face and slide edges are clean, without lightened spots. The carved frame and sculpted grip keep their full texture. In game the finish looks smooth and even from the first-person view.

What to look at before you buy

• 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.

Who should buy Factory New

• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for a muted colour scheme.
• Conclusion: the choice for maximum detail.
