Glock-18 | Shinobu (Factory New)

In Factory New (FN) the Glock-18 | Shinobu occupies the float band from 0.00 to 0.07, which is 7% of the finish's scale. The rank is Classified, and the set is The Fever Collection. For CS2, buying this pistol in FN means getting the finish with not one scuff on the face.

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

The pistol is lilac-violet. A large painted face fills the slide, and only the eyes show: dark lashes and brows, raspberry-pink eyeliner, and dark strands of hair running across the slide. The face is pale, a dusty pink mixed with beige. Behind it lies a violet-indigo field cut by crossing dark blue bands, a check of sorts. The front sight, the slide stop and a small tag are cream-white.

Valve describes the artwork as a woman wearing SR Tech "Premium" contact lenses, and quotes the advertising slogan of that fictional company. Nothing in FN is scuffed: the serration ridges, the slide rims and the fine lash lines are all intact. The condition of a Glock-18 | Shinobu is settled at the drop, not by time in storage.

Where the Glock-18 | Shinobu came from

The artist is Horameow. On the Steam Workshop the work was titled "G-18 | SHINOBU [HARD]" and went up on December 23, 2024. The skin arrived in the game with the Fever Case; Valve's note of March 31, 2025 carries only the case name. The Fever Collection was released that same day, and the skin has been in the set since the start. In Valve's catalog it is finish number 1208.

What to check before buying

When choosing a Glock-18 | Shinobu, look at the following:

• float: in this wear the band is 0.00 to 0.07;


• stickers from the previous owner, and any name tag on the pistol;


• the integrity of the pink eyeliner: it is the first thing to break.

Hunting by pattern index makes no sense, since the artwork never changes. Within 0.00 to 0.07 there is no best copy to find.

Getting the Glock-18 | Shinobu

The Glock-18 | Shinobu drops from the Fever Case.

Trading up works too. A contract takes ten skins of the rank below (Restricted), from anything, and the skin that comes out belongs to the collection of one of the inputs. Fill all ten from The Fever Collection and the result is one of its three Classified skins, so the pistol is a one-in-three chance. The skin is also a valid input for the contract toward the Covert AWP | Printstream and FAMAS | Bad Trip.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The Glock-18 | Shinobu has a StatTrak version; no Souvenir packages contain this skin.

Stickers and craft on the Glock-18 | Shinobu

The face fills the flat part of the slide, so a large sticker will cover the eyes. Small ones are better placed on the frame and by the slide cut. The violet palette takes pink, white and gold stickers, while blue and lilac ones merge into the background.

Who this wear suits

This wear is worth buying if:

• you want intact eyes, eyeliner and lashes;


• you are building a violet loadout for CS2 with this pistol as the centerpiece;


• the float band of 0.00 to 0.07 is narrow, so there is no point choosing a listing by its number.
