Souvenir Glock-18 | AXIA (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Glock-18 | AXIA pairs a bright blue flake paint job with black stripes and a dark slide. In Battle-Scarred the blue is heavily chipped, the sparkle is dulled and the stripe graphic is partly eaten away, leaving a rough, scraped look. It is the cheapest way to carry the AXIA colours, with the wear itself becoming part of the style.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

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

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

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The top of the slide is left in dark polished gunmetal, while the lower half of the slide and the front of the frame are covered in bright blue paint with a visible metallic flake. Toward the rear of the slide and frame, black diagonal stripes and angular black shapes cut through the blue, and a small light AXIA logo sits on the side of the slide.

Heavy chipping covers the front half of the slide and frame, and bare metal spreads around the stripe area. The flake looks dull and the AXIA logo may be partly worn. In game the pistol appears scraped blue with dark breaks throughout. Only the central parts of the blue panels keep a solid colour.

Price by quality

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Which stickers suit it

Blue, white, black and silver holo stickers match the sports-branding style. Placing them on the blue part of the slide keeps the black stripe graphic uncovered.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since chips at the muzzle and slide edges grow with it.
• Inspect the front of the frame and the slide edges, as these lose paint first.
• Look at whether the AXIA logo and the black stripes are still crisp on worn copies.
• Review any applied stickers and name tag, as they change the clean sporty look.

Who the Battle-Scarred quality suits

• An entry into the AXIA finish at the lowest cost.
• Fans of heavily scraped, rough-looking weapons.
• The choice for those who see the wear as style.
