Glock-18 | Franklin (Field-Tested)

The Glock-18 | Franklin in Field-Tested (FT) is the cheapest of the skin's four wears. Here the float band is 0.15 to 0.38, which is 57% of a scale that ends at 0.40. The skin is Restricted and belongs to The Havoc Collection; this Glock is for the Terrorist side.

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

The whole pistol looks hydro-dipped in American banknotes: slide, frame and grip are laid out with overlapping bills. The paper is creamy white, the ink on the bills is gray-green, and Franklin's portrait can be made out on each. There are no bright patches; the color is muted. The muzzle end stays metallic.

The pattern is small and uniform, and Field-Tested wear lies over the bills. The slide edges and the grip suffer sooner than the rest. Valve's line for the finish: money does not talk, it kills.

What to check before buying

What matters when choosing a Glock-18 | Franklin listing:

• float: within 0.15 to 0.38 listings differ noticeably, and the number matters more than the wear name;


• stickers and a name tag already on this copy of the Glock-18 | Franklin;


• the slide edges and the grip, where scuffs show first.

There are no two different designs on the Glock-18 | Franklin. Search by number, not by the wear label: the 0.15 to 0.38 band is wide.

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

This is the lowest price point of the skin. Factory New costs 1.11 times as much, Minimal Wear 1.07 times. Well-Worn costs 1.18 times as much, so the more worn wear costs more than Field-Tested, not less.

Among Restricted Glocks the skin is second from the top: of sixteen finishes priced in this wear, fourteen are cheaper and one is dearer, Glock-18 | Synth Leaf. The nearest below, Glock-18 | Pink DDPAT and Glock-18 | Brass, are cheaper by a little over three times. The cheapest in the row are Glock-18 | Umbral Rabbit, Glock-18 | Block-18 and Glock-18 | Glockingbird.

Getting the Glock-18 | Franklin

No CS2 case contains the Glock-18 | Franklin. The Havoc Collection came out in December 2020, and the finish arrived in the same update. What remains is a contract: ten skins of the rank below are gathered for the Glock-18 | Franklin. If the ten come from The Havoc Collection, which has three Restricted skins, the odds of this Glock are one in three. The skins that go in there are Desert Eagle | Night Heist, Negev | Phoenix Stencil, P250 | Bengal Tiger and P90 | Tiger Pit.

The skin itself leads on to the Classified AWP | Silk Tiger and MAC-10 | Hot Snakes.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The Glock-18 | Franklin has no StatTrak version and no Souvenir packages. You can build a Souvenir copy yourself through the Souvenir-O-Matic.

Stickers and craft on the Glock-18 | Franklin

The bills cover the whole surface, so a sticker always lands on the artwork. Colored stickers stand out on the muted gray-green, while black and white ones blend into the print. On a scuffed pistol a bright sticker looks fresher than the paint itself.

Who this wear suits

The Glock-18 | Franklin in Field-Tested is a sensible buy when at least one of these holds:

• you want a Restricted Glock for CS2 at the lowest price among the skin's wears;


• you want to compare listings by float across the wide 0.15 to 0.38 band;


• you want the recognizable money pattern in CS2 without paying extra for Factory New.
