Glock-18 | AXIA (Field-Tested)

The Glock-18 | AXIA in Field-Tested (FT) is the working middle of the scale, where the light blue speckle has already dulled and the black slide has lost its gloss. For this wear the Glock-18 | AXIA has a float of 0.15 to 0.38. It is a Classified skin from The Sport & Field Collection.

What the Glock-18 | AXIA looks like in Field-Tested

The pistol is built as two halves. The top of the slide is black and smooth, and below it runs a layer of bright light blue paint with metallic flakes mixed in. Slanted black stripes cross the blue, and an AXIA mark reads on the frame. The grip is black, with fine checkering.

In Field-Tested the wear shows on both halves. The black top loses its gloss and turns lighter along the slide edges. The blue speckle darkens with dirt along the stripe borders and on the raised parts of the frame. The sparkle of the flakes remains, though it is no longer as dense as on a Factory New copy.

Where the Glock-18 | AXIA came from

The Glock-18 | AXIA appeared on October 2, 2024, when The Sport & Field Collection was added to the game. Valve showed the Armory then, where items were handed out for accumulated credits. In a note of July 8, 2026 the company wrote that the set had been removed from the Armory.

What to check before buying

What to compare when choosing a Glock-18 | AXIA:

• float: toward 0.15 the speckle is still bright, while at 0.38 it is clearly dull;


• the edges of the black slide, where light metal comes through;


• the name tag and stickers this Glock-18 | AXIA already carries.

Pattern gives no basis for choosing on this skin at all. Listings of the Glock-18 | AXIA between 0.15 and 0.38 look noticeably different.

What the Glock-18 | AXIA costs in Field-Tested

Ratios to the other wears:

• Factory New costs more than twice as much;


• Minimal Wear costs a few percent more;


• Well-Worn costs a few percent more;


• Battle-Scarred also costs a few percent more.

There is a single price jump, and it sits at the factory wear. Beyond it, price hardly depends on wear: FT costs almost as much as the next three wears. The band of this wear is a third of the scale, which for the finish runs from 0 to 0.70.

Among the Classified Glock-18 skins in this wear, it is sixth of seven in ascending order. Just below it stand Water Elemental and Snack Attack, while Mirror Mosaic, Shinobu and Vogue cost from three to five times less. Only Twilight Galaxy stands above it, at more than ten times the price.

Getting the Glock-18 | AXIA

The Glock-18 | AXIA has never been in any case.

A trade-up can produce it: the contract needs ten skins of the rank below from the collection. Only two Classified skins sit in that set, which puts the odds at one in two. It also holds a single Covert skin, so ten Classified skins give the known M4A1-S | Fade.

StatTrak and Souvenir

A StatTrak version of the Glock-18 | AXIA was not released. No Souvenir packages exist for this finish either, since those were made only for tournament map collections. But a Souvenir copy can be built by hand: the Souvenir-O-Matic puts gold tournament stickers and a player autograph on an ordinary skin from the inventory. So the occasional Souvenir copy turns up even where no package ever existed.

Stickers and craft on the Glock-18 | AXIA

The black top of the slide and the black grip are the most neutral places for a sticker: white and light stickers read on them. On the blue speckle, dark and white ones stand out more, while red and yellow ones argue with the background. For a CS2 craft, stickers sit best on the black top of the slide.

Who this wear suits

Buying the Glock-18 | AXIA in Field-Tested makes sense if:

• you want a blue Glock at the price of the lower group of wears;


• you would rather not pay more than twice as much for the factory look;


• the pistol goes into CS2 matches, where scuffs on the edges are hard to make out.

If the speckle has to be bright and whole, look at Factory New. The float ceiling of FT is 0.38, and near it the sparkle fades.
