Glock-18 | Glockingbird (Minimal Wear)

For the Glock-18 | Glockingbird, Minimal Wear (MW) fits the float stretch from 0.07 to 0.15: there are scuffs, but small ones. The skin is Restricted, from The Boreal Collection, and no CS2 case holds it. The pattern is identical across copies, and only wear tells them apart.

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

Dense green runs along the side of the slide, with gray flowers and bird outlines scattered over it and a yellow ribbon-arc crossing them. Yellow repeats at the muzzle and at the bottom of the grip, where a fine check is printed. The frame is gray-olive.

In Minimal Wear the slide edge and the yellow pad on the grip lighten, and the artwork breaks off there. The birds and flowers on the side stay whole, so the pistol looks close to Factory New, and the difference shows only at the edges.

Where the Glock-18 | Glockingbird came from

The finish's author is Valve itself; there is no outside artist. It entered the game on March 31, 2025. Its catalog number at Valve is 1282, and in the note for that update Valve put Ascent, Boreal and Radiant on the weekly reward list.

What to check before buying

When picking a copy, look at these things:

• the float: wear in this grade runs 0.07 to 0.15, and the closer to 0.07, the more intact the edges;


• a name tag and stickers, if the pistol already carries them;


• the condition of the yellow pad on the grip.

One artwork covers every copy. The stretch of 0.07 to 0.15 is short, and copies come out close to one another.

What the Glock-18 | Glockingbird costs in Minimal Wear

Factory New asks double. The lower wears are cheaper: Field-Tested by two and a quarter times, Well-Worn by a little over two, Battle-Scarred by two and a half.

Of eighteen Restricted Glock-18 skins, only three cost less than the Glock-18 | Glockingbird in this wear. The nearest neighbors above, Glock-18 | Weasel, Glock-18 | Trace Lock and Glock-18 | Grinder, cost 8, 18 and 33 percent more. Glock-18 | Moonrise is slightly cheaper, and Glock-18 | Umbral Rabbit about half.

Getting the Glock-18 | Glockingbird

There are no cases for this skin. Copies arrive through the weekly reward, since The Boreal Collection is on its list. A trade-up works too: ten Mil-Spec skins go in, the result comes from the collection of one of the inputs, and ten from The Boreal Collection make the outcome certain.

StatTrak and Souvenir

There is no StatTrak version of the Glock-18 | Glockingbird, and no souvenir packages were ever made for this finish.

Stickers and craft on the Glock-18 | Glockingbird

Minimal Wear has a clean side, with room for two or three stickers in CS2. The flowers and birds should not be overloaded: a pair of light stickers near the slide looks better than a handful of bright ones.

Who this wear suits

Minimal Wear is a good fit in these cases:

• a Glock with almost no signs of wear is wanted, without the Factory New premium;


• the yellow pad on the grip has to stay readable;


• precision in choosing by float matters: between 0.07 and 0.15 there is something to choose from, though the difference is small.
