Glock-18 | Trace Lock (Battle-Scarred)

The Glock-18 | Trace Lock (Battle-Scarred, BS) shows its grayscale circles and technical linework in the most heavily worn state the finish reaches. It's the cheapest entry point into this Restricted pistol skin.

Design

The Trace Lock pairs layered circles and fine technical linework with a holographic-style overlay, all in grayscale to fit the Achroma Collection's monochrome theme. Valve made the finish, which carries the in-game line "Graphical maps of holographic systems."

Glock-18 | Trace Lock (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Battle-Scarred sits at the top of the finish's 0.00–0.70 float range, its heaviest possible wear. Because that range stops at 0.70 instead of running to a full 1.0, even this grade is milder than a Battle-Scarred copy of an uncapped skin — the circuit-style linework still shows through in places despite the scuffing. It's worn, but the design isn't lost entirely.

Glock-18 | Trace Lock Rarity

This finish carries a Restricted Grade rarity, positioned above Mil-Spec and below Classified — a moderately uncommon tier rather than the rarest or most common available.

Glock-18 | Trace Lock Case and Collection

The Trace Lock is part of The Achroma Collection, which arrived with The Fourth Season update in January 2026. As a group, Restricted-tier finishes from that collection drop around 16 percent of the time, a rate shared across the tier rather than unique to this skin.

Glock-18 | Trace Lock Patterns

No random pattern variation exists on the Trace Lock — every copy shows the same circle-and-linework layout, so there's no "blue gem" equivalent to search for. Wear is the only thing that changes between copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

The Trace Lock exists only in its regular form, with no StatTrak edition and no Souvenir edition ever produced. Souvenir weapons come solely from Major-tournament packages, and since the Achroma Collection has never featured in one, this finish was never eligible for a Souvenir release.

Glock-18 | Trace Lock Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade on the Trace Lock's price ladder, sitting below every other wear. For a finish already priced in the affordable mid-tier range, this is the lowest-cost way to own it. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is the Battle-Scarred Trace Lock still recognizable?

Yes — the grayscale linework and holographic overlay remain partly visible even with heavy scuffing, and the finish's float cap keeps the damage from reaching the harshest extreme. It reads as clearly worn, but the underlying design is still identifiable.

Why doesn't Battle-Scarred look fully destroyed?

Because the finish's float tops out at 0.70 instead of the full 1.0 scale, its worst possible copies stop short of the most extreme wear the game allows. That cap is why even the roughest Trace Lock still holds some of its detail.

What's the cheapest way to own the Trace Lock?

Battle-Scarred is the answer — it's the lowest grade on the finish's price ladder. If a cleaner look matters more than saving every last dollar, Well-Worn (WW) or Field-Tested (FT) cost a bit more while showing noticeably less wear.
