Glock-18 | Candy Apple (Factory New)

The Glock-18 | Candy Apple (Factory New) is a Mil-Spec pistol skin with a bold red-and-black scheme, its individual parts spray-painted in solid colors. Factory New is the top grade, showing that glossy candy-red finish exactly as intended, with no wear to break it up.

Design

Designed by Valve, this finish leans on simple, high-impact color rather than graphics — individual parts of the pistol are spray-painted solid, split between a deep candy red and matte black. It's the developer's knack for turning a plain palette into something striking, and it carries a fitting in-game line: "Great on cars, better on weapons."

Glock-18 | Candy Apple (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish runs a float range of 0.00–0.30, and Factory New sits right at the low end. At this grade the red panels hold full saturation and gloss with no scuffing anywhere, so the automotive paint reads exactly as intended. This is the condition to reach for if you want the color at its richest and most vivid.

Glock-18 | Candy Apple Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue tier, the entry rung of the standard weapon grades. It's the most common grade to pull, which keeps the skin accessible even in its top condition.

Glock-18 | Candy Apple Case and Collection

This skin belongs to The Italy Collection, introduced on November 27, 2013 with the "Out with the old, in with the new" update. Within a souvenir package the Mil-Spec tier accounts for roughly 79.92% of drops (a rate shared across the tier's skins), so as the base grade it's the one you'll most often see surface.

Glock-18 | Candy Apple Patterns

There's no random pattern variation here — the parts are spray-painted solid, so the red-and-black layout lands identically on every copy. That means no paint seed or "blue gem" to chase; wear and float are the only things that separate one from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak version exists. StatTrak weapons are seeded only through StatTrak-enabled weapon cases, and this finish reaches players via The Italy Collection's souvenir packages rather than such a case, so the kill-counter variant was never produced. A Souvenir version does exist, first appearing in the DreamHack 2013 Souvenir Package and later the EMS One 2014 Souvenir Package.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it over Minimal Wear?

If you want the candy red at full gloss with zero scuffing, yes. Factory New is the richest the color gets and the top grade on offer. That said, the solid spray-paint base hides light wear well, so a Minimal Wear copy looks very close for less — pay up only if you want the best condition on the shelf.

Which gloves go with Candy Apple?

The red-and-black palette pairs naturally with a warm, high-contrast loadout, so red or black gloves work best — a red pair echoes the candy paint, while black wraps lean into the matte accents. It slots neatly into any red-themed pistol setup.

Does the finish have a pattern to hunt?

No. The parts are painted solid, so every copy shares the same red-and-black layout with no seed variation. There's nothing like a "blue gem" to search for — condition is all that changes from one to the next.
