StatTrak™ Glock-18 | Catacombs (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

This Glock-18 is defined by its grey skull pattern on a silver slide, a quiet, monochrome look rather than a bright one. In Minimal Wear the skulls still read clearly, and any marks are limited to small specks near the muzzle and slide edges. Because the palette is already muted and metallic, these specks are hard to spot, so the grade gives nearly the same view as Factory New.

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.

Anodized Multicolored: several colours in the metal coating; it wears little, the colours only dull with use.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The finish is concentrated on the slide, which carries a dense hydrographic of grey skulls over a silver metallic base, running from the muzzle to the rear sight. The frame, trigger guard and textured grip stay a plain muted grey, giving the pistol a two-tone look with a busy top and a calm lower half.

Small specks of wear can appear on the muzzle face and the front corners of the slide. The skulls on the sides and top stay sharp and fully readable. In game these marks blend into the silver and grey palette and are practically invisible. The frame and grip look the same as in Factory New.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

The whole float range of StatTrak™ Glock-18 | Catacombs is 0–0.5; Minimal Wear takes the 0.07–0.15 segment (16% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Which stickers suit it

Black, white, silver and grey stickers keep the monochrome skull theme intact, while a single red or deep green accent stands out well against the grey. The plain frame below the slide is the cleanest place for stickers, since it does not compete with the busy pattern.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the grade, since a lower value keeps the muzzle and slide edges cleaner.
• Look at the muzzle face and top edges of the slide in the inspect view, as these lose the print first.
• Check whether the copy is StatTrak™ or Souvenir, because both versions exist and are listed separately.
• Review applied stickers and the name tag, as they change the look of the plain grey frame.

Who should buy Minimal Wear

• Players who want an almost clean look without paying for the top grade.
• Sticker crafters, since small specks hide well in the grey palette.
• A sensible compromise between appearance and cost.
