Glock-18 | Moonrise (Minimal Wear)

This is the Glock-18 | Moonrise in Minimal Wear (MW), and it is priced second after Factory New. Minimal Wear spans floats from 0.07 up to 0.15 on this pistol. Its rank is Restricted, and its set is The Clutch Collection.

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

The violet base of the slide shifts into lilac and pink. A night city fills the whole side: near-black towers along the bottom edge, sky above them, and a pale yellow moon by the front sight. The gray-olive frame is as it left the factory, and the grip is unpainted.

On Minimal Wear the slide edge and the serrations still lighten first, and the city line breaks there. The rest of the side, with its city, sky and moon, looks as it does in the other wears: the difference is how far the edges have worn.

Where the Glock-18 | Moonrise came from

MGBazz drew the finish, and Valve's catalog carries it under number 694. The Glock-18 | Moonrise was released in February 2018 and belongs to The Clutch Collection.

Pattern and the pattern index

This finish is one of the rolled kind: the pattern index changes how the airbrushing over the anodizing spreads the color shift, and every copy has its own picture.

Across 0.07 to 0.15 the float hardly tells copies apart, but the placement of the city and moon does, and that is what buyers look at first.

What to check before buying

When choosing a Glock-18 | Moonrise listing, these matter:

• float between 0.07 and 0.15;


• the placement of the city and moon, which changes from copy to copy;


• the color shift across the sky, and the pattern index;


• what a previous owner left on the pistol, meaning stickers and a name tag.

Between 0.07 and 0.15 the look of the Glock-18 | Moonrise does not change, so attention goes to the artwork.

What the Glock-18 | Moonrise costs in Minimal Wear

Factory New costs about twice as much as this wear. Field-Tested is cheaper by about 1.7 times, Battle-Scarred by about 1.6 times, and Well-Worn by almost one and a half times.

Among Restricted Glocks in this wear, two skins are cheaper, Block-18 and Umbral Rabbit, and fifteen are dearer. Glockingbird, Weasel, Trace Lock and Grinder sit nearby, all a little dearer. At the top of the rank stand Dragon Tattoo, Synth Leaf and Fade.

Getting the Glock-18 | Moonrise

The finish drops from the Clutch Case with no trade-up involved.

A trade-up contract leads to it too: ten Mil-Spec skins go in, and the result comes from the collection of one of the inputs. Taking all ten from one set is a way to raise the odds of this result, not a requirement.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The Glock-18 | Moonrise has a StatTrak version. The finish has no Souvenir packages.

Stickers and craft on the Glock-18 | Moonrise

The violet sky and near-black buildings set a condition for stickers: light and bright ones stand out, dark ones disappear. The frame and grip are unpainted.

Who this wear suits

Minimal Wear is the right buy here if one of these applies:

• you want the city scene with almost nothing lost on the edge, but not at the Factory New price;


• you pick the artwork to taste, since every copy has its own;


• a steady middle of the scale matters more than its extremes.

In CS2, wear affects only the look of the skin, and in this wear it is concentrated on the slide edge and the serrations.
