Glock-18 | Shinobu (Battle-Scarred)

The Glock-18 | Shinobu (Battle-Scarred, BS) is a Classified pistol skin with anime art of a woman across the slide in soft pastels, in its most heavily worn condition. It's the cheapest way into the design, trading surface polish for the lowest entry price.

Design

Shinobu keeps things soft: delicate anime linework in a pastel palette, a community creation from the artist Horameow that trades busy graphics for gentle character art. The slide is custom-painted with a woman wearing SR Tech "Premium" contact lenses, and the finish carries a playful in-game line: "SR Tech—helping you stay focused one engagement at a time."

Glock-18 | Shinobu (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

The finish spans the full 0.00–1.00 float range, and Battle-Scarred sits at the very top end of it. Here the wear is out in the open — heavy scratching and paint loss across the slide, with the pastels badly faded in spots. Because the float runs the whole scale rather than being capped, this grade reaches genuinely rough territory, though the character art stays just readable enough to keep the skin recognizable.

Glock-18 | Shinobu Rarity

Rarity: Classified, the pink tier. It sits directly below Covert as the second-highest of the standard weapon grades, and it's a genuinely uncommon grade to unbox.

Glock-18 | Shinobu Case and Collection

Shinobu belongs to The Fever Collection and is unboxed from the Fever Case, released together with the Spring Forward update in March 2025. As a group the Classified tier drops around 3.2% of the time from the case (the rate is shared across the tier's skins), so this individual finish lands even less often than that figure suggests.

Glock-18 | Shinobu Patterns

Since the anime print lands the same way on every Shinobu, the finish has no random pattern variation — nothing like a paint seed or "blue gem" to chase. The only things that tell copies apart are wear and float.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's also a StatTrak™ Shinobu, sourced from the Fever Case, which adds a confirmed-kill counter; it's rarer and pricier than the standard drop, and the counter is permanent, following the item through every trade or sale. No Souvenir edition was ever made — Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages, and the Fever Case has never been a Major drop.

Glock-18 | Shinobu Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade of the skin — the entry-level way to run the Shinobu design for players who care more about the art than the condition. If you want this anime Glock for as little as possible, this is the way in, and it keeps the finish firmly in affordable territory. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is the Battle-Scarred Shinobu still recognizable?

Yes. Despite the heavy scratching and faded pastels, the woman on the slide and her outlines stay readable enough to identify the skin at a glance in-game. Battle-Scarred is about accepting obvious wear in exchange for the lowest price, not losing the character art entirely.

Why does the Battle-Scarred Shinobu look so rough?

Because the finish runs the full float scale up to 1.00 with no cap, its Battle-Scarred copies can reach genuinely heavy wear — faded pastels and widespread paint loss. Lighter, pastel-heavy art like this also tends to show damage more openly than a dark base would.

Which gloves go with Shinobu?

The pastel palette suits a light, playful loadout, so pale or softly colored gloves work best — white, cream, rose, or lavender wraps echo the slide's tones rather than clashing with them. Keeping the whole kit gentle plays up the anime character-art theme.
