Glock-18 | Water Elemental (Well-Worn)

Well-Worn (WW) is the fourth of the five wears of the Glock-18 | Water Elemental. This wear's scale lies between 0.38 and 0.45. Its rank is Classified, and it is a drop from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case.

What the Glock-18 | Water Elemental looks like in Well-Worn

The pistol's base is raspberry red, with burgundy swirls and white flecks. A turquoise-blue splash with white highlights lies on the side of the slide. Lower down the grip run streaks and drops, while the barrel and trigger are left dark gray. Paint covers the slide, frame and grip entirely, so little metal shows.

In Well-Worn, wear has already gathered the small turquoise spray in the hold zone and eaten into the slide edges. The large patch of the splash in the middle of the side lasts longer. The red base gives scuffs away: light marks on red are noticeable at first glance. The wear's share is 10% of the finish's scale.

Where the Glock-18 | Water Elemental came from

The skin appeared in the game in July 2014. Cursed Badlucker filed the Steam Workshop submission, titled "Glock-18 | Liquescent", on June 15, 2014. In the data the designer is recorded as FLaMmenWerFeR. Its number in Valve's catalog is 353.

In the item text Valve calls the subject a creature made of water, in a graphic style. The submission's author ended the description with a hope that players would like the finish.

What to check before buying

Choose a listing by these signs:

• float: inside 0.38 to 0.45 the difference in look is small;


• a name tag and stickers, if they are already on that Glock-18 | Water Elemental.

You cannot buy one with a "rare" pattern, because the artwork is the same on every copy. And there is little to choose by float, since 0.38 to 0.45 is a short stretch.

What the Glock-18 | Water Elemental costs in Well-Worn

Set against Well-Worn, the other wears come out like this:

• Factory New is about 2.3 times dearer;


• Minimal Wear is cheaper by about 6%;


• Field-Tested is cheaper by about 8%;


• Battle-Scarred is cheaper by about 9%.

The prices of the three wears from Minimal Wear to Battle-Scarred differ by a few percent. The one big step lies at the factory look.

At this wear the skin stands above the rest of the Classified Glocks. One finish of the rank costs almost the same, and Glock-18 | Snack Attack is cheaper by about a fifth. Glock-18 | Mirror Mosaic, Glock-18 | Shinobu and Glock-18 | Vogue are five times lower and more.

Getting the Glock-18 | Water Elemental

A contract for it is made of ten skins one step down. From the skin's own collection, PP-Bizon | Osiris and CZ75-Auto | Tigris work. With such a ten, the odds of getting this exact skin are one in three.

The Operation Breakout case remains the main route: the finish is in no other case.

StatTrak and Souvenir

There is a StatTrak version of the Glock-18 | Water Elemental. Souvenir packages for this finish were never released, as they covered only tournament map collections. A Souvenir copy can still be put together by hand: the Souvenir-O-Matic places gold tournament stickers and a player autograph on a regular inventory skin.

Stickers and craft on the Glock-18 | Water Elemental

Warm stickers disappear on the red base, while cool shades carry the splash on. Silver and light blue ones tie the composition together. Room is short: covering the large turquoise figure would be a pity, and the grip is already rubbed in Well-Worn. The lower part of the frame is what remains.

Who this wear suits

Well-Worn is worth buying when:

• you want this finish on a Glock at a price almost level with Field-Tested;


• a grip with rubbed drops is no trouble, and the large splash on the side is whole;


• you need a cheap Glock for CS2 play or a collection, and a factory look is not required.

The narrow band removes the question of choosing by number: only price and stickers are left to compare.
