Souvenir Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Ghost Protocol turns the Glock-18 into a solid red pistol with a dark slide, a bright textured frame and lettering on the grip. In Field-Tested the red is still dominant, but scuffs start to show along the slide edges and the front of the frame. It keeps the recognisable colour block while costing less than the cleanest grades.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Covert is the top weapon rarity: usually the most prominent items of a collection or case.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The slide is painted in a dark, glossy wine red with thin circuit-like lines and small printed markings along its side, and the rear serrations are picked out in the same tone. The frame and grip use a brighter, matte scarlet with fine diagonal texture, the word GHOST runs down the grip and a smaller PROTOCOL marking sits near its base.

Scuffs are noticeable along the slide edges, at the muzzle and on the front of the frame. The grip lettering may show light wear, while the central parts of the slide and grip stay mostly intact. The contrast between sheens softens slightly. At normal viewing distance the pistol still looks solidly red.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The whole float range of Souvenir Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol is 0–0.9; Field-Tested takes the 0.15–0.38 segment (26% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

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

Red, black and white stickers keep the monochrome look intact, and holographic or foil red stickers echo the play of sheens on the finish. Placements on the dark slide stand out less than on the bright frame, so choose the spot depending on whether the sticker should blend in or contrast.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show far fewer scratches.
• Inspect the slide edges and the muzzle, as these lose paint first on this finish.
• Look at the GHOST lettering on the grip, which shows wear clearly against the bright frame.
• Check any applied stickers, because colours that clash with the monochrome red change the look a lot.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who want the Covert red Glock-18 as an everyday pistol.
• Buyers balancing price and appearance, as the red still dominates.
• Conclusion: a sensible middle option for play.
