Glock-18 | Death Rattle (Field-Tested)

The Glock-18 | Death Rattle (Field-Tested, FT) is an Industrial Grade pistol skin with a gray body and a snakeskin-patterned hydrographic. Field-Tested is the most common way to own it — a touch of honest wear on a budget-friendly design that barely shows it.

Design

The look leans restrained: a snakeskin patterned hydrographic laid over a sleek gray base, pairing simple lines with a tactical feel. Valve designed the finish, and 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 (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

At Field-Tested the coat picks up light scratching along the slide and edges, but the muted gray base keeps most of it low-profile, and the snakeskin scaling holds its shape regardless of float. This is the grade most players land on — the practical middle ground between looks and cost.

Glock-18 | Death Rattle Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade, the light-blue tier — among the more common weapon grades in the game. That commonness helps keep the finish cheap and easy to find.

Glock-18 | Death Rattle Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Bank Collection, which arrived with the April 2014 update on April 30, 2014. There's no active weapon case feeding the collection, so most copies change hands on the market rather than coming out of fresh boxes.

Glock-18 | Death Rattle Patterns

There's no random pattern roll here — the snakeskin hydrographic sits identically on every copy, so no paint seed or "blue gem" is worth hunting. The only real differences between copies come down to wear and float.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak variant exists. Kill-counter versions are produced for case skins, and this one doesn't drop from a case, so it was never made. A Souvenir edition is also absent — Souvenir weapons are handed out only through Major-tournament packages, and The Bank Collection has never been a Major drop.

Glock-18 | Death Rattle Price

Field-Tested is the value sweet spot of the range, cheaper than Minimal Wear (MW) while looking almost the same. Since the whole finish sits in budget territory, this is about the most wallet-friendly way to run the design. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the Field-Tested version look worn?

Not much. The muted gray base hides scratches well, so a Field-Tested copy reads as tidy to most eyes, with only light edge wear on close inspection. The snakeskin scaling isn't affected by float, so the finish's signature texture always comes through.

Is Field-Tested the best value here?

For most buyers, yes. It costs less than Minimal Wear but looks nearly identical thanks to the wear-hiding base, and it's the easiest grade to find. Well-Worn (WW) and Battle-Scarred (BS) are cheaper still if you want the lowest entry price and don't mind heavier scuffing.

Which gloves go with this Glock?

The neutral gray palette is easy to pair, so gray, black, or muted olive gloves slot in cleanly without clashing. Gray-toned wraps keep the low-key, tactical vibe of the snakeskin design, while a Slaughter or Crimson pair adds a bit of contrast if you want the pistol to stand out.
