Souvenir Glock-18 | Groundwater (Factory New)

Skin overview

Glock-18 | Groundwater is a plain spray-painted finish: a pale green slide over a darker olive frame, with sand-coloured sights, trigger and magazine base. In Factory New the paint is even and matte, so the contrast between the two greens and the tan details is at its sharpest. This grade sits at the very bottom of the skin's range, so even the cleanest copies start with a faint mottled texture on the slide.

Item type: pistol. The weapon is available only on the Terrorist side. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.

Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

The slide is painted a pale, slightly mottled green, with faint darker patches toward the front and along the top. The frame, trigger guard and textured grip are a deeper olive drab, giving a clear two-tone split at the slide line.

The paint covers every part evenly, with no chips on the slide edges or sights. The light mottling on the slide belongs to the finish itself and is not damage. In game the two greens and the tan details look crisp and matte. Everything from the muzzle to the magazine base looks clean.

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

Stickers in olive, khaki, sand or brown tones blend with the military two-tone scheme. Placing them on the pale green slide gives the best contrast, while a single dark or gold sticker can work as an accent next to the tan details.

What to look at before you buy

• Factory New covers only a narrow strip at the bottom of this skin's range, so compare floats closely if you want the cleanest copy.
• Look at the front edge of the slide, the muzzle and the sights first, because that is where the paint goes first.
• Check the tan magazine base and trigger on worn copies, as their paint loss is easy to spot when inspecting.
• Souvenir versions exist, so check which stickers are applied and how they sit on the slide.

Who the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the cleanest version of this olive Glock with an even matte finish.
• Sticker crafters who need an unchipped pale slide as a calm background.
• In short: the choice for a fully clean look and careful crafts.
