Glock-18 | High Beam (Factory New)

The Glock-18 | High Beam (Factory New, FN) is an Industrial Grade pistol finish built around a glossy, light-blue anodized slide. Factory New is the top grade for it, and with a float ceiling this low, that top grade looks about as good as the design ever gets.

Design

High Beam coats the slide in a bright, glossy light-blue anodized metallic finish, cut through by a swirling spiral pattern that catches the light from most angles. It's a Valve-made finish, and it ships with a fitting in-game line: "Hard to miss."

Glock-18 | High Beam (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish is float-capped between 0.00 and 0.08, so Factory New is both the cleanest and the highest float ceiling this skin ever reaches — there's no room for the slide to look anything but bright and glossy. The spiral pattern sits fully saturated with no scuffing to soften it.

Glock-18 | High Beam Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade, the second-lowest of the standard weapon tiers — a common pull, but the loud light-blue color makes it stand out more than its grade suggests.

Glock-18 | High Beam Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The 2018 Inferno Collection, which debuted with the FACEIT 2018 update in September 2018. It isn't tied to a weapon case, so copies come from the collection itself rather than an unboxing drop rate.

Glock-18 | High Beam Patterns

There's no random pattern roll on High Beam — the spiral sits in the same spot on every copy, so there's no paint seed or "blue gem" to chase. Float is the only thing that separates one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There is no StatTrak version of this finish. A Souvenir copy does exist, though — the first was handed out in the London 2018 Inferno Souvenir Package, with later Major souvenir packages adding more over time. Souvenir copies only ever come from those tournament packages, never from regular collection drops.

Glock-18 | High Beam Price

Factory New sits at the top of the High Beam ladder, just above Minimal Wear (MW), and even at its best grade this stays a budget pick overall — an easy, eye-catching pistol skin without much of a price jump for the cleanest copy. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth the extra cost over Minimal Wear?

Barely, in practice. Because the float range tops out at 0.08, both grades already look close to spotless, so the jump in price for Factory New buys a marginal visual gain at best. Budget-focused buyers can comfortably go Minimal Wear here without feeling like they're missing much.

Why does High Beam never look heavily worn?

The finish is float-capped well below the game's full 0–1 scale, topping out at 0.08, so it never reaches Minimal Wear's roughest end, let alone Field-Tested (FT) or worse. That's also why the skin only exists in these two grades in the first place.

Which gloves pair well with High Beam?

The bright light-blue slide leans into a cool-toned loadout, so blue or icy-white gloves complement it best, picking up the anodized shine without clashing with the spiral pattern. A darker neutral pair also works if you'd rather let the pistol stand out on its own.
