Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol (Battle-Scarred)

The Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol in Battle-Scarred (BS) covers floats from 0.45 to 0.90, half of the skin's whole scale. It is a Covert pistol from The Spy Tech Collection, and no case holds it.

What the Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol looks like in Battle-Scarred

The slide is translucent red, etched with fine lines that resemble a printed circuit board. The frame and grip are opaque bright red with a small-scale texture, and the grip carries the words GHOST and PROTOCOL. The trigger and front sight alone are black. The skin has a single color. Its shades come from the gloss of the paint, which is what Valve means by red paint of differing glossiness.

The float is set when the skin drops. At 0.45 to 0.90 this is the heaviest wear the skin comes in, and the gap between the two ends of the band is large.

Where the Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol came from

The finish was designed by Graff. The Workshop submission was titled "Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol [Red]"; the data gives no publication date. The skin comes with a line from Valeria Jenner, a revolutionary: "I don't care if you were followed, you're here now". In Valve's catalog the finish is number 1450.

Valve added the Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol to the game on July 8, 2026, together with The Spy Tech Collection.

What to check before buying

Two points decide this purchase:

• float: the 0.45 to 0.90 band leaves room to choose, and copies closer to 0.45 are cleaner;


• any name tag and stickers the Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol already carries.

Every copy of the Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol shares the same pattern.

What the Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol costs in Battle-Scarred

Getting the Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol

The skin was never put into a case. What remains is a trade-up contract of ten skins one rank lower. The Classified skins in The Spy Tech Collection are M4A1-S | Fatal Glitch and USP-S | Spiral Glitch. Put together ten of them and you get one of the collection's two Covert skins; the other is AK-47 | AUTOEXEC.

StatTrak and Souvenir

There is no StatTrak version of the Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol, and no souvenir packages were ever released for it.

Stickers and craft on the Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol

The red field with the pale lines of the slide takes white and silver stickers well. Red and orange ones dissolve into the body. It is best to leave the lettering on the grip clear, since it is part of the finish.

Who this wear suits

Buying the Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol in this wear makes sense if any of these fits:

• you want a Covert Glock for CS2 at the lowest price among its five wears;


• the red palette matters more to you than clean paint;


• you are ready to pick a copy near the 0.45 lower limit.
