Glock-18 | Water Elemental

The Glock-18 | Water Elemental is a CS2 pistol skin with a red base and bright blue-green creature artwork. Its flowing, illustrated design suits players who favor colorful weapons over restrained palettes. Factory New through Battle-Scarred exteriors are available, alongside StatTrak™ and Souvenir versions.

Description

The Glock-18 | Water Elemental is a Classified CS2 pistol skin for the Terrorist side. Its Custom Paint Job pairs a vivid red body with cyan and turquoise water-creature artwork. The illustrated figure gives the weapon a graphic, animated character rather than a subdued finish. Flowing shapes extend down the grip, keeping the main motif visible beyond the slide. This look suits players building colorful loadouts or seeking a pistol with pronounced contrast between warm and cool colors. The underlying Glock-18 is suited to unarmored opponents and offers a burst-fire mode. Standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir versions give buyers different collecting options. Listings can be compared by exterior and float value rather than the finish name alone.

History and Origin

Water Elemental was released on July 1, 2014, with the Operation Breakout update. It entered the game through the Operation Breakout Weapon Case. The finish was created by Steam Workshop community designer FLaMmenWerFeR. Its collection is The Breakout Collection, which also defines its supported trade-up route. Valve retired the rare case drop pool on December 17, 2025. The Operation Breakout Weapon Case no longer drops, so new cases do not enter through that route. Existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened for a chance at the pistol. Current acquisition also includes direct purchases, player trades, and random Classified results from eligible trade-up contracts.

Finish Style

The Custom Paint Job builds its composition around a water creature spread across the pistol's visible body. A vivid red base covers the slide and frame, giving the cooler artwork a strong backdrop. Bright cyan and turquoise forms run across the side before continuing down the grip. Curling limbs and flowing shapes keep the creature's silhouette fluid rather than rigid. Scattered splash-like marks extend the watery theme around the main figure. Dark outlines and pale blue highlights help define the creature against the saturated background. The grip's fine texture remains visible beneath the paint, adding surface detail to the illustration. Dark gray trigger, sights, and magazine base contrast with the busy body, while a pale metallic rim marks the muzzle.

Float Value

The Glock-18 | Water Elemental float value ranges from 0.00 to 0.70. Available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. StatTrak and Souvenir versions are available, with version choice remaining separate from a listing's cosmetic condition and float.

Rarity and Popularity

Water Elemental has Classified rarity. Its chance from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case is 1.07%, about 1 in 94 openings. The skin has been owned by TACO, Happy, and tarik, although professional ownership does not establish demand for every available variant.

Why it’s Popular:

• Vivid red base with contrasting cyan and turquoise artwork

• Flowing water-creature illustration across the slide and grip

• Available in every exterior from Factory New through Battle-Scarred

• Standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir options for different collecting preferences

Price Range

The live Glock-18 | Water Elemental price range is $15.69 to $70.67. These bounds cover the entire skin, rather than a fixed exterior or version. Compare Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred listings separately, then distinguish standard copies from StatTrak and Souvenir options. Check the exact float value and inspect the item's appearance before deciding which listing offers the right balance of condition and asking price.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open the Operation Breakout Weapon Case

Open an existing Operation Breakout Weapon Case for a chance at Water Elemental, with a probability of 1.07%. The case no longer drops, but market-bought cases can still be opened.

3. Trade Up Contracts

A Trade Up Contract can exchange 10 Restricted skins from The Breakout Collection for 1 Classified skin from that collection. Water Elemental is a possible result, not a guaranteed outcome.

4. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy the skin directly through the Steam Community Market to choose an available listing instead of a random case result. Check the exterior, float, and version before comparing the asking price.

5. Trade with Other Players

Player-to-player trades provide another route to acquiring the pistol without opening a case. Compare the offered skin's exterior, float, and standard, StatTrak, or Souvenir status before agreeing on the exchange.

Trading and Investment Considerations

No new Operation Breakout Weapon Cases drop, but existing openings and trade-ups can still add Water Elemental skins. Professional ownership supports visibility, but does not establish price growth or reliable resale demand. Before choosing to buy, sell, or trade, compare the same exterior and version, then check individual float values.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired case drops restrict new case supply

• Distinctive red-and-turquoise water-creature artwork

• Ownership by TACO, Happy, and tarik

• Standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir collecting options

A medium-to-good investment rating reflects retired case supply, Classified opening odds, and ownership by professional players. The main risk is uncertain resale demand, while existing cases and trade-ups can still produce additional copies.
