Glock-18 | Красные покрышки

Origin Story

The Glock-18 | Red Tire, released on September 22, 2021, as part of Operation Riptide, is a skin from The 2021 Vertigo Collection. Its design features a black base spray-painted with a bold red tire tread pattern, giving it an industrial aesthetic that aligns with the Vertigo map's theme. This Industrial Grade skin is often sought after by collectors aiming to complete The 2021 Vertigo Collection or by those who appreciate its unique red and black color scheme with souvenir prestige. While not a mainstream status symbol, it serves as a distinctive choice for players looking for a themed Glock-18.

Drop Chance

Glock-18 | Red Tire is Industrial Grade, a common skin tier, one step above Consumer Grade. It has appeared across 6 tournament packages, most recently the Rio 2022 Vertigo Souvenir Package, Shanghai 2024 Vertigo Souvenir Package, and Stockholm 2021 Vertigo Souvenir Package.


Souvenir Packages are awarded to viewers watching live Major matches on the corresponding map, not opened from cases, so Valve doesn't publish per-skin drop odds. Each package contains one item from The 2021 Vertigo Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Industrial Grade skins like Red Tire are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 3 other Industrial Grade skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. New copies only enter the market when a recipient chooses to open their package, so supply trickles in over time even after the tournament ends.
