Souvenir Glock-18 | Groundwater (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

Groundwater keeps its military look in Minimal Wear: two shades of olive green, with tan accents on the controls and magazine. The difference from Factory New comes down to a few small specks at the slide edges and muzzle, which are hard to notice in a match. For a solid-colour skin this is usually the sensible choice if you want a clean look without paying for the top grade.

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.

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

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

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.

Tiny specks of bare metal may appear on the front edge of the slide and around the muzzle. The sights and the top of the slide can show a hint of rubbing on higher floats. At normal distance in a match the pistol looks practically identical to Factory New. The frame, grip and magazine base remain clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

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 check before buying

• 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 Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters, since the small specks rarely show next to stickers.
• In short: the practical balance between appearance and cost.
