Glock-18 | Trace Lock (Minimal Wear)

For the Glock-18 | Trace Lock, Minimal Wear (MW) is a short float band from 0.07 to 0.15, the second cleanest wear of the skin. The rank is Restricted and the collection is The Achroma Collection. On price it sits right in the middle of the scale, and this Terrorist-side Glock in CS2 still keeps almost all of its light base.

What the Glock-18 | Trace Lock looks like in Minimal Wear

The base is white and pale gray with a pearlescent sheen, and the lines are thin and gray-black. Circles spread from two centers on the slide, pass onto the frame, and on the grip fold into a close zebra. The red and blue dots on the slide are visible only up close.

In Minimal Wear the light base already gives away the first traces: the slide edge turns gray, and a short stretch of line disappears on the ridges of the grip. Most of the drawing reads whole, and the scuffing is noticeable rather than intrusive.

Where the Glock-18 | Trace Lock came from

The Achroma Collection came out on January 21, 2026, and the Glock-18 | Trace Lock has been in it from the start. Valve drew the finish, and there is no Steam Workshop submission. Its catalog number is 1357, and Valve's release note names two new weekly reward collections, Harlequin and Achroma.

What to check before buying

Differences between listings come from these:

• float: the band from 0.07 to 0.15 is short, so there is no reason to chase the number;


• placement of the drawing: it varies, and the float does not reflect it;


• stickers on the body, and whether a name tag has been applied.

Pattern variance on the Glock-18 | Trace Lock

The pattern index moves the way the drawing is laid on. Copies differ in where the circles fall and how the zebra comes together on the grip; the source lists no rare named variants. At equal wear, this is the main criterion after float.

What the Glock-18 | Trace Lock costs in Minimal Wear

The Factory New price is almost three times higher. Field-Tested is about 1.8 times cheaper, Well-Worn 1.9 times, and Battle-Scarred a little over twice. The ladder is even: each step down in wear lowers the price, and Minimal Wear sits between the two extremes.

Among Restricted Glocks, Minimal Wear stands in one row with Grinder and Weasel. Grinder is slightly dearer, Weasel and Moonrise slightly cheaper, and Umbral Rabbit clearly lower.

Getting the Glock-18 | Trace Lock

There is no case, but The Achroma Collection is on the weekly playtime reward list. The other road is a contract. Take ten Mil-Spec skins and the result comes from the collection of one of them; ten from a single set only steer the drop.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The Glock-18 | Trace Lock has no StatTrak version, and no Souvenir version of the finish was released.

Stickers and craft on the Glock-18 | Trace Lock

The light body in Minimal Wear does not yet drown out stickers with scuffs. Graphite stickers and metallic ones both suit this Glock: they sit on the white field without stray marks.

Who this wear suits

Minimal Wear is worth buying on the Glock-18 | Trace Lock when:

• you want a nearly clean body for less money than Factory New;


• you need a compromise between pearlescent cleanness and price;


• you are curious to pick a copy by where the circles fall.
