Glock-18 | Shinobu (Minimal Wear)

In Minimal Wear (MW) the Glock-18 | Shinobu spans floats 0.07 to 0.15, which is 8% of the whole scale. It is a Classified skin from The Fever Collection, made for the Terrorist side. For CS2, the pistol in MW costs noticeably less than in Factory New (FN).

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

The slide carries the upper half of a woman's face: eyes with dark lashes and brows, pink eyeliner, strands of hair. The drawing has no chin and no mouth. The body is lilac-violet, and the slide is broken up by dark blue stripes that cross one another. The frame is lighter and marbled, the trigger and the magazine base plate are violet, and the front sight and a small tag are cream.

Lightening starts at the upper and lower rims of the slide and along the ridges of the serrations, then moves to the frame edges and the magazine base plate. The broad fill of the face and the eyes themselves, on the flat middle of the slide, hold out longer. The float is fixed at the drop, so a Minimal Wear Glock-18 | Shinobu does not change its look over time.

Where the Glock-18 | Shinobu came from

Horameow drew the finish: the submission "G-18 | SHINOBU [HARD]" appeared on the Steam Workshop on December 23, 2024. The skin reached the game on March 31, 2025 with the Fever Case, and Valve's note named only the case. In Valve's database the finish carries catalog number 1208.

What to check before buying

Before paying for a Glock-18 | Shinobu, it is useful to check:

• float: the wear sits between 0.07 and 0.15 on the scale;


• stickers and a name tag that came with the pistol from its previous owner;


• how light the slide rims and the serration ridges have become.

No pattern is rolled for this skin, so every copy is identical. The 0.07 to 0.15 band is narrow, and the copies are nearly impossible to tell apart.

What the Glock-18 | Shinobu costs in Minimal Wear

Against Minimal Wear, the prices of the other wears are arranged like this:

• Factory New is dearer by about 2.4 times;


• Field-Tested is cheaper by about 1.7 times;


• Well-Worn is cheaper by about 1.7 times;


• Battle-Scarred is cheaper by about 1.8 times.

The three lowest wears cost nearly the same, so MW stands a clear step above them. Among Classified Glock-18 finishes in this wear, the finish costs more than just one other. Above it stand Mirror Mosaic, Glock-18 | AXIA, Water Elemental, Snack Attack and Twilight Galaxy.

Getting the Glock-18 | Shinobu

The Glock-18 | Shinobu is part of the Fever Case.

A trade-up contract is the other way in: ten skins of the rank below (Restricted), of any origin, return a skin from the collection of one of the inputs. A ten drawn entirely from The Fever Collection keeps the result inside the set. It holds three Classified skins, so the pistol comes up one time in three.

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 artwork is dense, so stickers that cover the face make it unreadable. Small ones near the slide cut and on the frame work well. Light and pink stickers show up best on the violet base.

Who this wear suits

Minimal Wear is justified when:

• you want a face with sharp eyes but not the 2.4-times surcharge for FN;


• scuffed slide rims do not bother you;


• a float band of 0.07 to 0.15, where the copies are almost the same, is enough for you.
