The Glock-18 is the starting pistol on the Terrorist side, meaning you will spawn with it for free at the beginning of every round. This essentially forces you to get a decent-looking Glock-18 skin to play with, as you’ll see it almost every round.
Fortunately, Glock-18 skins are generally popular and very affordable, and you can get numerous cool-looking skins for good prices. In this article, we’ll go through ten cheap Glock-18 skins you can get for under the $10 mark.

The Glock-18 | Water Elemental is one of the most popular Glock-18 skins in the game. It features a striking red base, with a fluid image of a creature made of water, splashing across the body of the Glock-18 pistol. Though red and blue normally don’t work well together, the Water Elemental does a great job in creating a contrast between the two bold colors.
The combination of such colors alongside the intricate design has made the Glock-18 | Water Elemental one of the most iconic pistol skins in the entire game. This skin is the perfect choice for players who enjoy unique and stand out looks.
The Glock-18 | Water Elemental was released over a decade ago as a part of the Operation Breakout Weapon Case. Though these cases can be very expensive, the Water Elemental is just under the $10 mark in Factory New condition, so what are you waiting for?
Glock-18 | Vogue
The Glock-18 | Vogue has one of the most visually striking designs thanks to its unique concept. We recommend you take a look.
- Rarity: Classified Grade
- Collection: The Fracture Collection
- Recommended Condition: Factory New
- Price: $7.19
- Flavor Text: “Look at me while I’m shooting at you!”
The main highlight of the skin becomes apparent at first glance, as a pair of graceful eyes have been painted on the slide of the weapon, giving an alluring look. These eyes are painted in front of a bright background that features bold colors such as pink, yellow, and purple, giving off a standout vibe.
The blue, mesmerizing eyes give the skin a very unique and surreal quality that will grab the attention of anyone looking at the skin for the first time. It is hands down one of the most dynamic designs in the game, making it an avid choice for players who enjoy artistic concepts.
The Glock-18 | Vogue wasn’t released too long ago as a part of the Fracture Collection, meaning the prices may have not settled down yet. Still, you can purchase a Vogue for yourself at the $7 mark, which will get it in Factory New condition for you.
Glock-18 | Neo-Noir
Another top-tier Glock-18 skin is the Neo-Noir, known for its cyberpunk-themed design.
- Rarity: Covert Grade
- Collection: The Operation Broken Fang Collection
- Recommended Condition: Field-Tested
- Price: $8.70
- Flavor Text: “Things were starting to turn and she began to feel hope—then she looked up”
The Glock-18 | Neo-Noir features a custom painting with a stylized woman over a grayscale background, and the skin primarily consists of shades of black, pink, and white colors, with slight accents of blue and cyan. There are a ton of colors that create a nice contrast and vibrancy to the skin.
The art style is the main selling point of the Neo-Noir skin, as the woman seems to have been hand-drawn in a graphic novel-style artwork, evoking a noir-like comic book aesthetic. Overall, the slight highlights help the skin pop out and look modern.
Since it is a Covert grade skin, we must expect some pretty high prices for the Neo-Noir. As a result, we can only get this skin in Field-Tested condition, and even that will cost you nearly $9. Still, the skin looks perfectly fine in this condition.
Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel
If you’re feeling youthful and rebellious and want to let everyone know, the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel becomes a no-brainer choice.
- Rarity: Covert Grade
- Collection: The Gamma Collection
- Recommended Condition: Factory New
- Price: $4.35
- Flavor Text: “Pay tribute”
The Wasteland Rebel skin intentionally features a weathered and worn-out look, as the idea comes from a post-apocalyptic aesthetic. The skin is covered with graffiti-style writings and doodles over a dark base. The writing “KILL THEM ALL” is very visible on the skin.
Overall, there’s a lot going on throughout the skin, as the rebellious theme of the Wasteland Rebel suggests that the weapon has been through a lot of commotion, making it a great choice for players looking for an aggressive skin with some sort of hidden meaning.
Though the Glock-18 | Wasteland Rebel is a Covert skin, it is actually very affordable. You can easily get the Wasteland Rebel skin in Factory New condition for $4, which is a deal that is unheard of. Additionally, you can pair this bad boy with the AK-47 | Wasteland Rebel.
Glock-18 | Bullet Queen
The Glock-18 | Bullet Queen is one of the most visually striking Glock-18 skins available in the game.
- Rarity: Covert Grade
- Collection: The Prisma 2 Case
- Recommended Condition: Minimal Wear
- Price: $9.98
- Flavor Text: “I’ll stop shooting when you start shushing”
The Glock-18 | Bullet Queen became a well-known skin for its eye-catching and bright design. The skin primarily features a War Maiden, likely inferred to as the “Bullet Queen,” coated with a pink jacket, drawn in a bold comic book art style. She stands on the center of the skin looking very confident and powerful.
On top of the female character, the yellow background is also covered by black and and white hues that give the Bullet Queen skin a standout appeal, which resembles comic and street art vibes. Overall, this skin works very well to grab anyone’s attention.
The Bullet Queen comes from the Prisma 2 Collection, which was released not too long ago. The prices for this pistol skin are still relatively high, but we can still get it in Minimal Wear condition for barely $10. Still sounds like a great deal.
Glock-18 | Moonrise
The Glock-18 | Moonrise is the perfect skin for players who enjoy a stroll in a night drive.
- Rarity: Restricted Grade
- Collection: The Clutch Collection
- Recommended Condition: Factory New
- Price: $1.33
- Flavor Text: “Look for the North Star”
The Moonrise skin follows a very simple concept, but is executed very well to exude an eye-catching design. The skin showcases a randomized city landscape, with the main attraction being a bold, mesmerizing purple skyline and a full moon that is the icing on the cake.
The background of the skin is alluring, almost seeming like an ethereal sky that is out of this world. The workshop artist did a great job with fading gradients from dark purple to pink hues, giving off a twilight vibe. It is hands down one of the most beautiful Glock-18 skins in the game.
Though the Glock-18 | Moonrise is very unique, it is still a less-demanded skin, making it very underrated, in our opinion. Still, this serves as a great chance to purchase it at low prices, as a Factory New version is going for only a dollar, which sounds like the deal of a lifetime.
Glock-18 | Candy Apple
If you really want to keep things simple and clean, the Glock-18 | Candy Apple is exactly what you’re looking for.
- Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade
- Collection: The Italy Collection

The Glock-18 | Candy Apple features a very sleek and minimalistic design, with a vibrant red slide and a black color scheme. Things don’t get easier than this. The Candy Apple evokes a very simple, yet aesthetic visual, focusing on clean color blocks instead of intricate or chaotic designs.
The glossy red color scheme works very well in grabbing attention, while the rest of the pistol covered in black keeps a neutral tone and creates a bold contrast to help the skin stand out. It is an elegant skin which doesn’t overcomplicate things.
Since the Glock-18 | Candy Apple isn’t too highly demanded, you can grab a Factory New copy for only 50 cents, making it the most affordable option on this list. This skin mainly appeals to players who prefer clean and professional looks and keep things low-profile.

- Collection: The 2018 Nuke Collection
- Recommended Condition: Factory New
- Price: $4.21
- Flavor Text: “A nuclear fission product”
The first thing you’ll notice when checking out the Glock-18 | Nuclear Garden is its bold and vibrant design that is focused on a radioactive concept. The slide of the skin features an eye-catching lime green color with skulls and bones drowning in what seems to be toxic acid.
Overall, the skin exudes a radiation hazard going on, which fully enhances the Nuclear Garden theme the skin was named after. The skin’s design isn’t anything too crazy, but the lime color scheme definitely does a great job in attracting attention.
As you might have guessed, the Glock-18 | Nuclear Garden comes from the 2018 Nuke Collection, and you can get it in Factory New for a little over $4. Additionally, the skin also has Souvenir versions, though you could only afford it in Field-Tested at best for $10.
Glock-18 | Ramese’s Reach
Fans of Egyptian history can rejoice, as there is a Glock-18 skin specifically made under this concept.
- Rarity: Restricted Grade
- Collection: The Anubis Collection

It’s not surprising that this desert-themed skin comes from the Anubis Collection, which was released not too long ago in 2023. As a result, prices could be quite high, but we can still afford the Ramese’s Reach in Factory New condition just below the $10 mark.
