Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel (Battle-Scarred)

Battle-Scarred (BS) on the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel is the band from 0.45 to 0.54, the ceiling of the paint scale. It is a Covert pistol, and it drops from the Gamma Case.

What the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel looks like in Battle-Scarred

The slide and frame are worn gray metal. Over them, large graffiti is applied in white paint: sharp letters, crossed-out lines, a small cross on the grip and drips beneath it. Along the top edge of the slide runs a brown ornamental band that looks like fabric print. Valve describes the finish as aged, printed and sprayed with graffiti.

The float was fixed at the drop. In Battle-Scarred the white lines are rubbed away in places on the edges of the slide and the raised parts of the grip, and gray metal shows through the letters. For artwork like this, that is almost part of the design.

Where the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel came from

The skin belongs to The Gamma Collection, which came out in June 2016 with the Gamma Case. We have no data on the author or a Workshop submission, so the story of the finish is not retold here.

What to check before buying

Before paying for a Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel, it helps to check:

• float: in this wear it falls within 0.45 to 0.54;


• how well the white letters on the slide read: the less is rubbed away, the more expressive the artwork;


• stickers and a name tag already on the pistol.

There is no lucky pattern to fish for: it is always the same one. The 0.45 to 0.54 band is tight, and the outermost listings differ by the number alone.

What the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel costs in Battle-Scarred

The wears of this skin hardly differ. Factory New is dearer by a few percent at most, while Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn cost the same as Battle-Scarred.

Among Covert Glocks in this wear, the skin is seventh of ten, counting upward by price. Gold Toof, Neo-Noir and Fully Tuned, among others, are cheaper. Above it stand Ghost Protocol, more than a quarter dearer, and Gamma Doppler in Phases 1 and 2; Phases 3 and 4 are slightly cheaper.

Getting the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel

The Gamma Case is where it drops.

The second road to the skin is a trade-up: hand over ten Classified skins from anywhere, and the result comes from the collection of one of the inputs. Ten from The Gamma Collection is the player's choice; it holds two Covert skins, so the odds are one in two. Covert skins also go into a craft for a rare special item with the ★ mark.

StatTrak and Souvenir

StatTrak is offered on the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel. Souvenir packages never held it.

Stickers and craft on the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel

The slide is covered in white letters, and stickers next to them compete for attention. Colored stickers are better placed on the gray frame above the grip, where there is more room. Dark stickers on the slide read worse than the white graffiti, so they belong closer to the muzzle.

Who this wear suits

Battle-Scarred is worth buying on the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel if:

• you want a street-style Glock for CS2 and paying extra for a top wear is not justified, since the price difference is minimal;


• you like worn graffiti more than fresh paint;


• you care for exactly the kind of wear where metal shows through the artwork in CS2.
