Glock-18 | Ironwork

Origin Story

The Glock-18 Ironwork, released in 2016 as part of The Glove Collection with the Brothers In Arms update, features a slide laser etched with intricate ivy and thorn patterns. This design gives the pistol an old-world, filigree appearance, contrasting its dark slide with brighter, ornamental scrollwork. It is generally regarded as a classic, affordable sidearm rather than a high-end collector's item.

Drop Chance

Glock-18 | Ironwork is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. From the Glove Case: approximately 11.42% per opening (roughly 1 in 9). The 79.92% Mil-Spec tier rate is split across 7 Mil-Spec skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~1.14% from the Glove Case (about 1 in 88). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($109.45): The ivy and thorn engravings on the dark slide are crisp and high-contrast, with the metallic body appearing clean.
• Minimal Wear ($7.76): The engravings remain sharp, and the overall weapon retains strong contrast, with only subtle darkening or softening on the front and top of the slide.
• Field-Tested ($1.68): The dark slide shows more noticeable wear, making the engraved ivy pattern appear less bright, and the metallic body takes on a more aged tone.
• Well-Worn ($0.80): The pistol appears more muted and aged, with the slide and frame having a darker, more uniform tone, and the engraving is less immediately legible.
• Battle-Scarred (No Recent Price): The slide and frame are significantly darkened, and the engraving appears faded or less distinct, giving the weapon an antique, heavily aged metal look.

Model
