Autographed Sash of the Dragonfire

The Glock-18 | Trace Lock (Factory New, FN) is a Restricted pistol finish done in grayscale, with layered circles and fine technical linework under a holographic-style overlay. Factory New shows that tech-inspired artwork at its sharpest, before any float dulls the detail.

Design

The Trace Lock is a monochrome design — layered circles and fine technical linework sit under a holographic-style overlay, fitting the black-and-white theme of the Achroma Collection it belongs to. Valve made this one, and the in-game line "Graphical maps of holographic systems" matches its schematic, circuit-diagram feel.

Glock-18 | Trace Lock (Factory New) Float and Wear

Across the finish's 0.00–0.70 float range, Factory New sits right at the bottom. The fine linework and holographic overlay come through cleanest here, with the grayscale circles reading crisp and no scuffing anywhere on the slide or grip. This is the grade to pick if you want the technical detail at its most legible.

Glock-18 | Trace Lock Rarity

Rarity: Restricted, the purple tier — a step up from Mil-Spec and one grade below Classified, making it a moderately uncommon pull from the collection.

Glock-18 | Trace Lock Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Achroma Collection, which launched with The Fourth Season update in January 2026. As a Restricted-tier piece it drops at around 16 percent from the collection, a rate shared across the Restricted grades rather than unique to this one skin.

Glock-18 | Trace Lock Patterns

There's no random pattern variation on the Trace Lock — the circles and linework land identically on every copy, so there's no paint seed or "blue gem" version worth chasing. Float is the only thing separating one copy's look from another's.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish exists only as a regular version — there's no StatTrak edition and no Souvenir edition. Souvenir weapons only come from Major-tournament packages, and the Achroma Collection was never offered in one, which is why no Souvenir Trace Lock has ever surfaced.

Glock-18 | Trace Lock Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Trace Lock's price ladder, and the finish overall lands in an affordable mid-tier range — a reasonable step up for the cleanest possible look. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New the best grade for the Trace Lock?

If you want the fine technical linework and holographic overlay at their sharpest, yes — this grade shows the schematic-style detail without any wear softening it. It costs more than the lower grades, but the gap isn't huge given the finish's overall affordable pricing.

What update added the Trace Lock?

It arrived with The Fourth Season update in January 2026, as part of The Achroma Collection. That collection's whole theme runs on black-and-white designs, and the Trace Lock's grayscale circuit look fits right into it.

Which gloves pair with the Trace Lock?

Since the finish is pure grayscale, black or white gloves keep the look cohesive, while a pair with subtle silver or gray detailing echoes the holographic overlay without clashing. It suits a minimalist, monochrome loadout more than a colorful one.
