Glock-18 | Trace Lock (Factory New)

Here the Glock-18 | Trace Lock appears in Factory New (FN), the priciest of its five wears. The float band is 0.00 to 0.07, a mere tenth of the skin's scale. The rank is Restricted and the set is The Achroma Collection. A Terrorist-side Glock in CS2 with a pearlescent base, it shows the drawing best on a clean body.

What the Glock-18 | Trace Lock looks like in Factory New

On a fresh body every line is visible. Thin gray-black circles spread from two centers on the slide, continue over the frame, and gather into a dense zebra on the grip. The base is white and pale gray with a pearlescent sheen, and on the slide, if you look closely, sit a red dot and a blue one.

A light body gets dirty faster than a dark one. That is why Factory New is valued more than usual here. There is no graying slide edge and no broken lines on the ridges of the grip, the two things that appear first in the lower wears.

Where the Glock-18 | Trace Lock came from

Valve drew the finish itself, and it never sat on the Steam Workshop. It was released on January 21, 2026, with catalog number 1357. The same day, two sets, Harlequin and Achroma, were added to the weekly reward list, and the skin arrived with the latter.

What to check before buying

On listings of this finish, buyers compare the following:

• float: from 0.00 to 0.07, so there is almost nothing to choose from, though the lower part of the band looks cleaner;


• pattern: the way the drawing lays on differs between copies, and two Factory New listings can look unlike each other;


• stickers and a name tag left on this Glock by a previous owner.

Pattern variance on the Glock-18 | Trace Lock

The pattern index shifts the whole drawing: the circles on the slide sit differently on every copy. The source names no rare variants, so on a clean body the variance is a chance to choose by eye, not a separate price class.

What the Glock-18 | Trace Lock costs in Factory New

The steps run as follows: Minimal Wear is almost three times cheaper, Field-Tested and Well-Worn more than five times cheaper, Battle-Scarred more than six times cheaper. The jump comes from the share: this wear takes 10% of the finish's scale, and such copies turn up less often.

Among Restricted Glocks, Factory New on this skin stands above Block-18, Umbral Rabbit, Moonrise and Glockingbird, while Grinder costs about one and a half times as much. Brass and Synth Leaf remain far pricier.

Getting the Glock-18 | Trace Lock

The weekly reward for time in the game hands out items from The Achroma Collection, which is where the skin comes from; it has no case. The second route is the contract: ten Mil-Spec skins from any sets go in, and the result comes from the collection of one of the inputs. If all ten are taken from The Achroma Collection, the outcome lands there.

StatTrak and Souvenir

There is no StatTrak version of this Glock, and no Souvenir version of the finish exists either.

Stickers and craft on the Glock-18 | Trace Lock

On the clean pearlescent base, stickers show in full. Dark stickers and graphite details read best on the white body, while bright colors clash with the red and blue dots on the slide that the finish already has.

Who this wear suits

Factory New on the Glock-18 | Trace Lock is a sensible buy when:

• you want a Glock where the pearl and the thin lines show without scuffs;


• the top of the float band matters and you are ready to scroll through listings for the pattern;


• you are putting together a light set with a clean body.
