Glock-18 | Franklin (Minimal Wear)

Glock-18 | Franklin in Minimal Wear (MW): the hundred-dollar bill pattern is intact, and the float band is narrow. Float here runs from 0.07 to 0.15, which is 20% of a scale that ends at 0.40. The skin is Restricted, a Terrorist-side Glock from The Havoc Collection.

What the Glock-18 | Franklin looks like in Minimal Wear

Bills lying one on top of another cover the slide, frame and grip. The background is cream, the print gray-green, and Franklin's portraits can be read on the banknotes. Valve calls it a hydrographic print of American hundred-dollar bills. The colors are quiet, with no bright patches.

Between 0.07 and 0.15 of float the wear is light. Scuffs show first on the slide edges and on the grip, which the hand holds.

What to check before buying

Several points are worth checking before buying a Glock-18 | Franklin:

• float within 0.07 to 0.15: the band is narrow, but being close to the lower end means a clean print;


• the name tag and stickers this Glock-18 | Franklin already carries;


• the grip and the slide edge.

The artwork on the Glock-18 | Franklin is applied identically across the whole run. Within 0.07 to 0.15 there is no better copy to look for.

What the Glock-18 | Franklin costs in Minimal Wear

Factory New costs 1.03 times as much, and Field-Tested is 1.07 times cheaper. Well-Worn costs 1.10 times as much. There are no big gaps between this skin's wears: everything lies within a fifth of the price.

Of eighteen Restricted Glocks priced in this wear, fourteen are cheaper than the skin and three are dearer. Above it are Glock-18 | Dragon Tattoo (by about one and a half times), Glock-18 | Synth Leaf and Glock-18 | Fade. Glock-18 | Brass is cheaper by almost half, Glock-18 | Pink DDPAT by two and a half times, and Glock-18 | Steel Disruption by almost an order of magnitude. The cheapest are Glock-18 | Block-18, Glock-18 | Umbral Rabbit and Glock-18 | Moonrise.

Getting the Glock-18 | Franklin

The Glock-18 | Franklin is in no case. A contract takes ten skins of the rank below. When all ten come from this collection, they turn into the Glock-18 | Franklin with a one-in-three chance, since The Havoc Collection has three Restricted skins. The skin came out in December 2020.

StatTrak and Souvenir

StatTrak was never made for the Glock-18 | Franklin, and the skin has no Souvenir packages. A Souvenir copy is built through the Souvenir-O-Matic.

Stickers and craft on the Glock-18 | Franklin

The small print leaves no clean areas, so stickers lie on the bills. The skin's pale palette takes saturated colors better, while washed-out stickers disappear in it.

Who this wear suits

Minimal Wear is a reasonable buy on the Glock-18 | Franklin on these terms:

• you want a Restricted Glock for CS2 with a clean print and no overpayment for Factory New;


• paying 1.07 times more than for Field-Tested seems justified by the finer scuffing;


• you want a CS2 Glock whose listings inside the narrow 0.07 to 0.15 band look the same, so there is almost nothing to compare.
