Glock-18 | Twilight Galaxy (Factory New)

The Glock-18 | Twilight Galaxy in Factory New (FN) has a dark blue anodized slide on a gray frame. The float band of this wear is 0.00 to 0.07, and the finish's scale cuts off at 0.20, so the band takes 35% of the scale. It has Classified rank, and the Glock belongs to The Chop Shop Collection.

What the Glock-18 | Twilight Galaxy looks like in Factory New

The slide is covered in deep blue metal with a fine speckle, and a vertical serration runs across the rear of the slide. The frame and the grip are dark gray, with a slight warm tint and a fine grip texture. There is no applied pattern: the look is built on the contrast between a cool top and a neutral bottom.

In Factory New the blue coating is solid, with no light spots on the edges of the slide. Wear is fixed at the drop. The finish has three wears: Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested. The scale cuts off at 0.20, so the last one gets only a short stretch up to that ceiling.

Where the Glock-18 | Twilight Galaxy came from

The Glock-18 | Twilight Galaxy belongs to The Chop Shop Collection. In Valve's note of May 28, 2015, on Operation Bloodhound, this collection is named among the exclusive ones: rewards for owners of the operation pass dropped from them.

What to check before buying

Before paying for the Glock-18 | Twilight Galaxy, it helps to look at these points:

• float: the wear takes the band 0.00 to 0.07;


• the edges of the slide and the serration at its rear: on the blue coating, wear reads as light metal;


• name tag and stickers: on the Glock-18 | Twilight Galaxy they stay with the listing.

On the Glock-18 | Twilight Galaxy a spread of 0.00 to 0.07 is so small that there is no reason to choose by float.

What the Glock-18 | Twilight Galaxy costs in Factory New

The other wears relative to this one:

• Minimal Wear costs about half as much;


• Field-Tested costs about half as much.

The two lower wears cost almost the same, and the difference between them is a few percent.

Among Classified Glocks in this wear, the finish is the most expensive: no skin of the rank costs more. The nearest below is the Glock-18 | Snack Attack, almost five times cheaper. Next comes the Glock-18 | Water Elemental.

Getting the Glock-18 | Twilight Galaxy

The Glock-18 | Twilight Galaxy is not found in CS2 cases. It can be obtained through a contract of ten Restricted skins from The Chop Shop Collection. The collection has two Classified finishes, so the chance is one in two. The contract does not go upward from here: Classified is the collection's top rank.

StatTrak and Souvenir

No StatTrak version of the Glock-18 | Twilight Galaxy was ever released. Souvenir copies exist, but there were no packages for this finish: those were made only for tournament map collections. Such copies are assembled through the Souvenir-O-Matic, which puts gold tournament stickers and a player autograph on a regular skin from the inventory.

Stickers and craft on the Glock-18 | Twilight Galaxy

The blue top and the gray bottom give a neutral but not uniform background: the slide has a fine speckle, and the frame is a smooth plane. Light and yellow stickers stand out against the blue at once, while blue and light-blue ones blend into it. Stickers sit most evenly on the gray frame. In CS2 the blue slide works in a craft as a cool accent.

Who this wear suits

Factory New makes sense for the Glock-18 | Twilight Galaxy when:

• you want a clean blue slide without scuffs;


• a Glock in CS2 needs a finish with no pattern but with noticeable color;


• a price twice as high as Minimal Wear does not bother you.

If light scuffs on the blue are acceptable, Minimal Wear costs half as much, with a float band of 0.07 to 0.15.
