In Counter-Strike, the skins you equip are a way for you to express your personal style in-game. Given that your starting pistol is a fundamental item in the game, the skin you choose for it can matter quite a bit. In this article, we’ll walk through Skinflow’s picks for the 10 best Glock-18 skins in CSGO, along with their prices, unique features, and craft ideas!
This glock from the Nuke 2018 collection features a toxic, neon green pattern with skulls and crossbones. Despite it being a cheaper option, this skin will work great for a green loadout, or for anyone who may enjoy its radioactive theme. We recommend applying the “Sticker Nuke Beast” to this glock to continue its theme.
Featured in the Operation Broken Fang collection, this glock is painted with a stylized blue-magenta woman over a grayscale background. This glock is perfect if you’re attempting to complete a Neo-Noir collection, or as a clean purple skin on its own. If you don’t mind covering the current artwork on this skin, we recommend the “Sticker G2 Esports (Holo) Stockholm 2021” for it!
The Umbral Rabbit can be found in the Revolution Case and has been painted with a dreamlike scene of a mystical rabbit hopping before a full moon. Its softer art style feels very unique compared to most other skins in the game, and looks fantastic overall. For this skin, we don’t recommend applying any stickers, as it will cover the intricacies of the artwork.
The Water Elemental is an extremely popular glock skin, and is a part of the Operation Breakout collection. It is painted with the image of a creature made of water in a graphic style. This glock works very well for a red loadout, or as an inexpensive and flashy skin for your starting pistol. We highly recommend using the “Sticker Surf's Up” for this skin, and applying it in a way that makes it seem as though the character is surfing on the water creature.
The Moonrise is the cheapest skin on this list, and was released in the Clutch Case. The design on this skin depicts a randomized city landscape in the foreground that gives way to a full moon and purple night sky. This glock is great for anyone on a tight budget, and even has a special feature! With the patterns/paint seeds 58, 59, 66, 90, 102, 224, 601, 628, 694, 706, 837, and 864, you can see a star in the center of the slide stop lever, above the handle. Although this pattern is worth overpay, it’s worth getting, as it adds a lot of character to the skin. If you want to add a craft to this glock, we suggest applying the “Sticker Terrorist-Tech” on the handle.
The Glock Gamma Doppler, included in the 2021 Train Collection, has been painted with black and silver metallic paints using a marbleizing medium, then candy coated. The slide of this glock has different amounts of green and blue, depending on the phase you get. The cheapest phase, Phase 4, starts at around $56, whereas the most expensive phase (excluding emerald), Phase 2, starts at around $65. We recommend Entropiq or Imperial Esports stickers for this skin.
This iconic glock skin is a restricted skin from the Assault Collection, hence the hefty price tag. It has been painted by airbrushing transparent paints that fade together over a chrome base coat. As all fades do, this glock’s price depends heavily on the fade percentage, which refers to the skin’s color gradient coverage. A low fade percent (~80%) costs you $1,455, and a 100% Glock Fade is worth around $6,000. The “Sticker Battle Scarred (Holo)” looks excellent when applied on this skin.
The Glock Vogue, a part of the Fracture Case, has a Pop art inspired design with a pair of eyes on the slide. We believe that this is the best budget glock you can get, costing you under $10 in non-StatTrak, although it could be argued that the StatTrak version of this skin looks even better, as the color of the StatTrak counter matches the skin. For the Vogue, we also recommend the “Sticker Battle Scarred (Holo)”!
Belonging to the Chop Shop collection, the Twilight Galaxy has been painted with a light blue metal flake paint. This glock sparkles slightly in the sun, and the gorgeous blue color easily secures it a high spot on this list. For this glock, the “Sticker Cloud9 G2A (Holo) Katowice 2015” looks amazing.
Released not too long ago, the Ramese’s Reach from the Anubis collection definitely deserves the highest spot on this list, considering its price. Featuring a stunning custom paint of the Nile river on the slide and the grip adorned with the likeness of Ramesses I, the founding pharaoh of ancient Egypt's 19th Dynasty, this skin has a very detailed design and a mythological feeling. This skin has a remarkably detailed design, and a mythological feel. It's worth noting that applying stickers to this skin may take away from its intricacies, so we recommend leaving the skin as is.
