About Glock-18 | Fade
The Glock-18 | Fade in Minimal Wear is one of the most iconic pistol finishes in CS2 — a covert from the original Assault Collection (August 2013), with Fade's classic pink-purple-yellow chromatic gradient applied to the Glock-18's sleek silhouette. The Glock Fade is one of the original premium pistols and a foundational classic-line collector item.
Fade percentage hunting
Fade has its own pattern lottery: copies roll a "fade percentage" between 80 and 100 indicating chromatic coverage. 100% Fade and "Full Fade" copies (90%+) command extreme premiums over standard fades. MW preserves the chromatic clarity needed to read the percentage at full saturation.
Closed-collection context
The Assault Collection has been retired since the original 2013 release window. Glock Fade supply is fixed and has been appreciating consistently year-over-year. MW is the consensus playable condition for percentage-hunting collectors.
