Glock-18 | Reactor

Origin Story

The Glock-18 | Reactor, released on August 8, 2014, with the Cologne 2014 update, is part of The Cache Collection. Its design features a pattern of nuclear hazard symbols in bright yellow and orange metallic paints on a darker base, giving it a distinctive "hazard" or nuclear aesthetic. This skin is known for its connection to the Cache map and is generally considered a collector's item, particularly for those interested in older map collections or souvenir packages. It is often grouped with other nuclear-themed skins from the Cache Collection, forming a cohesive thematic set. This item holds a collector-oriented, low-hype profile, appealing to fans of its unique visual theme and legacy.

Drop Chance

Glock-18 | Reactor is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. It has appeared across 12 tournament packages, most recently the Krakow 2017 Cache Souvenir Package, London 2018 Cache Souvenir Package, and MLG Columbus 2016 Cache Souvenir Package.


Souvenir Packages are awarded to viewers watching live Major matches on the corresponding map, not opened from cases, so Valve doesn't publish per-skin drop odds. Each package contains one item from The Cache Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Mil-Spec skins like Reactor are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 4 other Mil-Spec skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. New copies only enter the market when a recipient chooses to open their package, so supply trickles in over time even after the tournament ends.
