Glock-18 | Glockingbird (Factory New)

The Glock-18 | Glockingbird in Factory New (FN) has a float band of 0.00 to 0.07. The paint is whole, and the birds and flowers lie on the slide with no scuffs. It is a Restricted skin from The Boreal Collection, and of its five wears in CS2 this is the most expensive.

What the Glock-18 | Glockingbird looks like in Factory New

The base of the finish is green. The slide carries a floral ornament and birds in a light silvery tone. The yellow is gathered into an arc along the side and two inserts, one at the muzzle and one on the grip. A check pattern appears only on the yellow areas; the frame carries no artwork.

In Factory New the slide edge and the yellow grip pad are intact. On more worn copies the paint lightens exactly there and the pattern breaks off, but here it runs right to the edge.

Where the Glock-18 | Glockingbird came from

The Glock-18 | Glockingbird did not start in the Steam Workshop. Valve made it, and its number in Valve's catalog is 1282. The Boreal Collection opened in the game on March 31, 2025, and the skin was in it from the first day. In the same note Valve added Ascent, Boreal and Radiant to the weekly reward list.

What to check before buying

Two things matter when looking at a listing:

• the float: the band of 0.00 to 0.07 is narrow and copies barely differ, but close to zero the paint is flawless;


• stickers and any name tag that go with the listing.

The artwork is fixed and no copy differs from another, so pattern index plays no part in the choice.

What the Glock-18 | Glockingbird costs in Factory New

The other wears are cheaper: Minimal Wear by half, Field-Tested and Well-Worn by nearly five times, Battle-Scarred by more than five times. A gap this wide at a 10% share of the scale comes down to the scarcity of a narrow band.

Among Restricted Glock-18 skins in this wear, only three are cheaper. The nearest below, Glock-18 | Moonrise, Glock-18 | Umbral Rabbit and Glock-18 | Block-18, cost from nine tenths to half of its price. The nearest above, Glock-18 | Trace Lock and Glock-18 | Grinder, cost one and a half to two and a half times as much.

Getting the Glock-18 | Glockingbird

No CS2 case drops it. The weekly playtime reward lists The Boreal Collection. A trade-up takes ten Mil-Spec skins from anywhere, and the result comes from the collection of one of them; ten from The Boreal Collection send it straight there.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The Glock-18 | Glockingbird has neither a StatTrak version nor Souvenir packages.

Stickers and craft on the Glock-18 | Glockingbird

In Factory New the paint is even, and stickers read as they would on a clean canvas. Light and silvery ones that carry on the color of the birds sit best; bright reds and blues fight the green base.

Who this wear suits

Factory New fits these situations:

• an untouched green Glock with birds is wanted for a collection;


• the stickers need a clean surface with no scuffs;


• the price gap to the lower wears is no objection, just the expected cost of wear near zero.
