Glock-18 | Fade
The Glock 18 is a serviceable first-round pistol that works best against unarmored opponents and is capable of firing three-round bursts. It has been painted by airbrushing transparent paints that fade together over a chrome base coat.

Description
The Glock-18 | Fade is a modern CS2 skin built on the Glock-18’s compact, sidearm silhouette, featuring the distinctive Fade finish. As part of the game’s evolving weapon-skin lineup, this skin is associated with the Assault Collection, where fans typically look for bold color transitions and high-contrast patterning that stand out during matches.
In CS2, the Glock-18 | Fade belongs to the Restricted rarity tier. Skins in this rarity class are generally less common than Mil-Spec grades, though exact drop rates aren’t publicly guaranteed in a way that can be confirmed for every case or match. Availability is influenced by how skins are obtained through the game’s collection and case ecosystem, so rarity is best understood as an indicator of relative scarcity rather than a precise drop percentage.
This Glock-18 skin is available in Factory New and Minimal Wear conditions, with a float range of 0.00 to 0.08. StatTrak is not available, and there is no Souvenir version for this particular skin. This keeps the skin focused purely on its visual finish and pattern work rather than kill-counter or event-related variations.
Visually, the Fade finish (Paint Index 38; model: CS2) is defined by smooth, flame-like transitions between bright tones—most notably gradients that move toward vibrant cooler and warmer hues depending on wear and viewing angle. On the Glock-18 platform, the pattern accentuates the pistol’s edges and curves, making it a popular choice for players who want a flashy, high-impact look without going outside the Glock-18’s compact design.
For where to obtain it, the Glock-18 | Fade is listed under The Assault Collection. It is not found in any specific cases/containers, meaning it’s typically encountered through collection-related acquisition paths rather than a direct container listing. Since it’s tied to a defined collection, players often track it alongside other Assault Collection skins when browsing inventories.
Community perception of the Glock-18 | Fade is generally positive due to its iconic “fade” aesthetic—one of the most recognizable finishes in CS weapon skins. Players often choose it to complement aggressive loadouts and highlight personal style, especially in higher-quality wears where the gradient contrast can look especially vivid.
