Souvenir Glock-18 | Wraiths (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Glock-18 pairs an engraved slide full of wraith-like faces with a carved grey-taupe frame that looks almost like weathered stone. Minimal Wear leaves the artwork practically intact, with only faint marks on the muzzle and slide edges that are hard to spot in game. It gives nearly the clean look of the top grade with a little more patina.

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: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

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.

Light marks may appear on the muzzle and along the front edge of the slide. The engraved faces and the frame texture remain fully intact. At normal viewing distance the difference from Factory New is very hard to notice. The grip and trigger guard still look clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of Souvenir Glock-18 | Wraiths is 0–0.8; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (10% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Origin of the skin

Souvenir Glock-18 | Wraiths belongs to The Shadow Collection, which holds 16 skins.

It drops from Shadow Case (on sale since Sep 15, 2015).

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

Muted stickers in brown, bronze, bone white or black blend with the engraved slide and stone-coloured frame. Gold or holographic stickers placed on the frame below the slide add contrast without covering the lost souls engraving.

What to check before buying

• 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 Minimal Wear

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Crafters for whom faint edge marks are not a problem.
• Conclusion: a sensible compromise between condition and cost.
