Gloves Skins

All CS2 glove types compared

Gloves were added to CS:GO in 2016 with the Glove Case and sit at Extraordinary rarity. There are 8 types – five with distinct models (Sport, Specialist, Driver, Moto, Hand Wraps) and three (Bloodhound, Hydra, Broken Fang) built on the same template, differing only in the logo on the back of the hand.

Sport Gloves

The most valuable glove type – a flat fabric surface with no knuckle plates means you see more of the design. Pandora's Box (~$2,062 BS), Hedge Maze (~$2,265 BS) and Superconductor (~$857 BS, $8,400+ FN) all sit high.

• Cheapest: Bronze Morph at ~$94 (BS).
• Most expensive: Hedge Maze Factory New at ~$30,800.

Specialist Gloves

Plastic and carbon knuckle guards over a fabric base. This type has the most skins (19) and the widest price range.

• Cheapest: Buckshot at ~$33 (BS).
• Most expensive: Crimson Kimono FN at ~$9,191.
• Other high-value: Emerald Web ($400+ BS), Fade ($122+ BS), Pillow Punchers ($261+ BS).

Driver Gloves

Leather driving gloves with clean textures, 20 skins. The standout is King Snake (white leather, black snake-scale), $106 BS to $2,560 FN. Crimson Weave is the other premium pick ($176 BS–$2,466 FN).

• Cheapest: Racing Green at ~$23 (BS) – also the cheapest glove in CS2 overall.
• Most expensive: King Snake FN at ~$2,560.

Moto Gloves & Hand Wraps

• Moto Gloves – bulkier padding. Spearmint ($368 BS–$7,628 FN) is the top skin; Cool Mint ($155 BS) is cheaper. Cheapest: Transport ~$39 BS.
• Hand Wraps – fabric wraps, 12 skins. Duct Tape has one of the biggest BS-to-FN gaps in CS2 ($42 BS vs. $5,236 FN). Cheapest: Desert Shamagh ~$41 BS.

Bloodhound, Hydra & Broken Fang Gloves

These three share the same base model, differing only in the back-of-hand logo. They're the budget options:

• Hydra Gloves (4 skins) – Mangrove ~$32 BS, Emerald ~$38 BS.
• Bloodhound Gloves (4 skins) – Bronzed ~$79 BS, Charred ~$138 BS.
• Broken Fang Gloves (4 skins) – Needle Point ~$44 BS, Yellow-banded ~$53 BS.

Which cases drop gloves

The Sealed Dead Hand Terminal (March 2026) is the newest glove source – the largest single addition since the original Glove Case, with 22 new skins (7 Sport, 7 Specialist, 8 Driver). Prices are still settling as supply enters the market.

Glove + knife combos

Gloves and knives are visible at the same time in first-person, so a matching pair is one of the biggest visual upgrades you can make:

• Budget: Moto Transport ($39 BS) + Gut Knife Doppler ($125); or Hydra Emerald ($38 BS) + Huntsman Boreal Forest ($38 BS).
• Mid-range: Specialist Fade ($122 BS) + Bayonet Fade ($370); or Driver Crimson Weave ($176 BS) + Karambit Crimson Web ($520 BS).
• Premium: Sport Vice ($265 BS) + Butterfly Doppler Phase 2 ($1,810); or Sport Superconductor ($857 BS) + Karambit Doppler Sapphire ($10,000+).

What drives CS2 glove prices

• Float value. Wear shows clearly because gloves are always on screen. The gap between BS and FN can be 10x or more (Duct Tape: $42 BS vs. $5,236 FN).
• Glove type. Sport Gloves carry a premium for their flat surface; Hydra, Bloodhound and Broken Fang trade cheaper as a shared template.
• Skin design. Clean, high-contrast patterns (Pandora's Box, Vice, Crimson Kimono, Spearmint) hold more value than muted or camo designs.
