The Queen's Gambit is hand painted in royal blue and gold, with a queen chess piece on the stock, a clean chess-themed design that suits the AWP. Factory New copies sit in the low hundreds, with StatTrak and Souvenir versions higher, and the Glock-18 Fully Tuned is the pistol counterpart.
"Royal blue, gold, and a queen on the stock. Queen's Gambit is the one skin worth caring about here."
Dead Hand Collection skins drop from the Sealed Dead Hand Terminal, a glove terminal. Compare live prices on our markets page.
As an active source, you can trade up ten same-rarity skins from this collection toward the tier above. Since the 2025 trade-up change, five Covert items can be used to craft gloves from the relevant pool. The expected value is negative, so craft for fun, not profit.
Dead Hand is the newest collection in the game, so supply is still growing fast and there is no scarcity yet. Its value sits entirely in the two Coverts. This is one to watch, not to load up on.
