Glock-18 | Glockingbird (Factory New)

The Glock-18 | Glockingbird (Factory New) is a Restricted-grade pistol finish — a bright green-and-yellow body carrying a silver mockingbird, part of Valve's playful bird theme. Factory New is the top grade, showing the artwork at its most vivid.

Design

Glockingbird wears a green-and-yellow base with a silver mockingbird painted across the slide, a whimsical avian look that came straight from Valve rather than a community artist. It ships with a fitting in-game line: "Let nothing stop your song."

Glock-18 | Glockingbird (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish rolls floats from 0.00 to 0.67, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of that range. At this grade the green and yellow read at full saturation and the silver mockingbird stays crisp, with no scuffing to speak of. If you want the artwork exactly as painted, this is the grade to reach for.

Glock-18 | Glockingbird Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the purple tier, a solid mid-grade slot in the weapon-skin hierarchy that sits above Mil-Spec and below Classified.

Glock-18 | Glockingbird Case and Collection

Glockingbird belongs to The Boreal Collection, which arrived with the Spring Forward update on March 31, 2025. The Restricted tier accounts for roughly 15.98% of the collection's drops (a rate shared across the tier's skins), so most copies change hands on the market rather than being found.

Glock-18 | Glockingbird Patterns

There's no random pattern roll here — the green-and-yellow base and the silver mockingbird land identically on every copy, so there's no paint seed or "blue gem" to chase. Wear and float are the only variables between one and the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak version of the finish exists — StatTrak pistols come out of weapon cases, and this skin was never tied to one. There's no Souvenir edition either, since Souvenir weapons are handed out only through Major-tournament packages, and The Boreal Collection has never been a Major drop.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it over Minimal Wear?

It depends on how much the surface matters to you. Factory New shows the green, yellow, and silver at their most vivid with zero scuffing, while Minimal Wear looks nearly identical for a touch less. Since the whole finish is budget-friendly, paying up for the top grade is an easy call for most buyers.

What does the Glockingbird look like?

It's a Valve-made design with a green-and-yellow base and a silver mockingbird across the slide — a bright, cheerful bird theme rather than the usual camo or tactical look. The in-game description reads "Let nothing stop your song," which sums up its lighthearted mood.

Which gloves go with the Glockingbird?

Its green-and-yellow palette suits a bright, colorful loadout, so green gloves are the natural match — a leafy or lime pair picks up the base tones, while a yellow accent plays off the highlights. Neutral tan wraps also keep the focus on the pistol's playful artwork.
