Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel (Factory New)

White graffiti covers the gray metal of the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel from end to end in Factory New (FN). It is a Covert Glock for the Terrorist side, and it drops from the Gamma Case. The wear's band runs from 0.00 to 0.07, which is 13% of the skin's 0.00 to 0.54 scale.

What the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel looks like in Factory New

The metal is gray and deliberately made to look aged. Large white strokes run across the slide, the frame and the grip: letters and cross-shaped marks, applied as if on a wall. A strip of brown-orange block print follows the top of the slide.

Valve's description names three traits: age, block print and graffiti. The age is part of the artwork here, not the result of wear. In Factory New that is easy to see. The white marks are sharp, the edges of the letters are not rubbed away, and the block print on the slide runs without breaks.

What to check before buying

Here is what differs from listing to listing on a Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel:

• float: there is little to choose from, because the 0.00 to 0.07 band is short;


• the StatTrak version is sold as a separate item;


• a name tag and stickers, if they are already on this Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel.

There is no point hunting by pattern index: the artwork never changes.

What the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel costs in Factory New

All five wears of this skin sit within a few percent of one another:

• Minimal Wear: on par, within three percent;


• Field-Tested: cheaper by a few percent;


• Well-Worn: cheaper by a few percent;


• Battle-Scarred: on par, within three percent.

So there is little reason to pay extra for a clean condition. The price steps on this skin are barely visible.

Among Covert Glock-18 skins in this wear, it costs more than six and less than four. Closest below are Glock-18 | Gamma Doppler Phase 2 and Phase 1, and a little further down Phases 3 and 4 and Glock-18 | Bullet Queen. Glock-18 | Gamma Doppler Emerald costs three times as much, and Glock-18 | Ghost Protocol almost five times as much.

Getting the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel

The Gamma Case is the only case that carries this skin. Its collection came out in June 2016. A trade-up contract for the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel takes ten skins one rank lower from that collection. The odds are one in two, because the collection holds two Covert skins.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel has a StatTrak version. No Souvenir packages were released for this finish, since those existed only for tournament map collections. A Souvenir copy can still be made by hand: the Souvenir-O-Matic puts gold tournament stickers and a player autograph on an ordinary skin from your inventory. That means a Souvenir copy can exist even where no package was ever issued.

Stickers and craft on the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel

The gray metal between the white strokes is the calmest place for a sticker. Dark and bright stickers read well on it, while white and light gray ones blend into the graffiti. For a craft in CS2, the grip and the lower part of the frame work well.

Who this wear suits

Buying the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel in Factory New makes sense when:

• you want a Covert Glock for CS2 with untouched white marks and gray metal;


• you want the lowest float at the price of the worn wears;


• you would rather not guess how a listing looks: within 0.00 to 0.07 the copies do not differ.
