Glock-18 | Death Rattle (Battle-Scarred)

The Glock-18 | Death Rattle (Battle-Scarred) is an Industrial Grade pistol skin with a gray body and a snakeskin-patterned hydrographic, in its most heavily worn condition. It's the cheapest way into the design, trading surface condition for the lowest entry price.

Design

Death Rattle keeps it minimal: a snakeskin patterned hydrographic over a sleek gray base, an understated, tactical look built on clean lines. Designed by Valve, it ships with an in-game line: "I know you don't believe in the cause...and when I expose you, Valeria will have your head - The Shield and The Serpent Part 1."

Glock-18 | Death Rattle (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

At Battle-Scarred the coat wears its damage openly — heavy scratching and paint loss spread across the body, and the gray thins in places. The snakeskin scaling survives as the anchor that keeps the skin readable. This finish is capped at a float of 0.50, so it never reaches the extreme end of the wear scale, and the design stays legible even at its roughest.

Glock-18 | Death Rattle Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade, the light-blue tier. It sits among the more common weapon grades, and that easy availability is a big reason the finish stays so affordable.

Glock-18 | Death Rattle Case and Collection

The finish sits in The Bank Collection, released together with the April 2014 update on April 30, 2014. With no active weapon case tied to the collection, the market — not unboxing — is where nearly every copy comes from.

Glock-18 | Death Rattle Patterns

Because the snakeskin hydrographic sits the same way on every copy, the finish has no random pattern variation — nothing like a paint seed or "blue gem" to hunt for. Wear and float are all that separate one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

You won't find a StatTrak edition — kill-counter versions are tied to weapon cases, and this finish isn't a case drop, so one was never made. There's no Souvenir variant either; Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages, and The Bank Collection has never been a Major drop.

Glock-18 | Death Rattle Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade of the skin — the entry-level way to run the design for players who care more about the look than the condition. In an already budget finish, this is as low as the price goes. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is the Battle-Scarred version still recognizable?

Yes. Despite the scuffing, the gray base and snakeskin scaling keep the design clearly readable at a glance in-game. Battle-Scarred is about accepting visible wear in exchange for the lowest price, not losing the look entirely.

Why doesn't the Battle-Scarred version look completely trashed?

Because the finish is float-capped at 0.50 rather than the full 1.0, its Battle-Scarred copies never reach the most extreme wear. Paired with a muted gray base that hides damage well, the skin stays more legible here than many lighter-colored finishes do.

Which gloves go with this Glock?

The neutral gray palette pairs easily, so gray, black, or muted olive gloves fit without clashing. Gray-toned wraps keep the low-key, tactical vibe of the snakeskin design, while a Slaughter or Crimson pair adds a hit of contrast if you'd rather the pistol stand out.
