Origin Story
The Glock-18 | Fade, released on August 14, 2013, with The Arms Deal update, is a legacy skin from The Assault Collection. Its defining feature is an anodized multicolored Fade finish, airbrushed with transparent paints over a chrome base coat, creating a gradient of yellow, orange, pink, and purple tones across the slide. This skin is regarded as a high-end collector's piece and a status symbol due to its early release and iconic Fade appearance. Only Factory New and Minimal Wear versions exist, further cementing its appeal among long-time players. As Imogen, an Arms Dealer In Training, once noted, "This isn't just a weapon, it's a conversation piece."
Drop Chance
Glock-18 | Fade is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Assault Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Restricted drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There is 1 other Restricted skin in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.
Skin Condition
Float range 0 to 0.08. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear. StatTrak is not available for this skin. Factory New (No Recent Price): The yellow, orange, pink, and purple Fade gradient is at its cleanest, with strong chrome reflectivity and minimal edge wear. Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): The Fade pattern and color layout remain essentially identical to Factory New, though minor edge wear and a slight loss in sheen can appear on the slide and muzzle.
Model
Fade uses the legacy Glock-18 model, introduced with The Arms Deal on August 14, 2013. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
How to Obtain

Additionally, it may be available through case-opening or skin-trading sites that stock collection items.
