CS2 Gloves Guide: All 8 Models, Prices and Rarity Explained

There are eight glove models in CS2, and each one is tied to specific cases. Both the Terrorist and Counter-Terrorist side use the same equipped glove, so buying one finish covers your whole loadout. Prices below are cheapest-ask snapshots and move with the market.

Sport Gloves and Specialist Gloves have the deepest finish pools and consistently carry the highest prices. Driver and Moto sit in the middle of the pack. Hand Wraps, Bloodhound, and Hydra tend to anchor the affordable end of the category, mostly because they came with fewer, less sought-after finishes.

Gloves are the second special item category in CS2 alongside knives. They share the same gold Extraordinary rarity tier and roughly the same 0.26% drop chance per qualifying case, and they replace your character's default hands with the finish you selected.

Gloves only come from cases that contain a glove collection, appearing as the rare special item in place of a knife rather than alongside one. You can't pull gloves from a case that drops knives, and vice versa. Opening one requires the matching case plus a key.

A few rules make gloves simpler to value than weapon skins. No glove has ever had a StatTrak version. None can be renamed with a nametag, and none can hold stickers or charms. There's also no souvenir version. That leaves finish and float as the only two variables that move a glove's price, which is part of why the category is easier to shop than knives or rifles.

Gloves use the same Factory New through Battle-Scarred wear scale as weapon skins, but float behaves differently here. Most glove finishes only spawn within a narrow wear band, so a lot of them never appear in Factory New at all. Their best real-world condition might be Minimal Wear, sometimes even Field-Tested.

That matters because gloves cover a large chunk of your first-person view. Fading and dirt on the leather or fabric show up far more obviously than scuffing on a rifle skin does. Buyers pay a real premium for the lowest float available within a finish's actual range, and that gap between a clean copy and a worn one is often proportionally bigger than what you'd see on a comparable weapon.

Two more quirks worth knowing before you shop. Gloves can't be used in trade-up contracts, and the Battle-Scarred band on gloves runs the widest of any item type at 0.45 to 1.00, which is why most gloves that come straight out of a case land somewhere heavily worn.

If you just want to own a real pair of gloves without spending three figures, start with Hydra Gloves. Finishes like Case Hardened, Mangrove, Emerald, and Rattler sit at the affordable end of the category, and Hydra Gloves as a model currently price around $31.63 for the cheapest ask. Lower-tier Hand Wraps and Bloodhound Gloves finishes are the other budget-friendly route in, though Bloodhound's overall model price is skewed up by its rarer, pricier finishes.

Driver Gloves is the cheapest model overall by cheapest-ask price ($31.39), but that number reflects its high-float, common finishes. The model has 20 finishes total, some of which climb well past its entry price at low float. If budget is the only priority, check the specific finish and float you're buying, not just the model name.

The most expensive glove finishes come almost entirely from two models. Sport Gloves holds the priciest patterns in the category, including Pandora's Box, Vice, Hedge Maze, and Amphibious, and it's the single most expensive glove model overall at $84.69 cheapest ask. Specialist Gloves isn't far behind, with grail finishes like Crimson Kimono, Fade, Emerald Web, and Foundation.

Select Driver and Moto finishes can also reach high prices, especially at low float, even though both models have a cheap floor. That's the pattern across the whole category: the model's listed price is a floor set by its most common finish, and the grails inside that same model can sell for many times more once you factor in a rare pattern and a low float together.

Can CS2 gloves have StatTrak?

No. No glove has ever had a StatTrak version. They also can't be renamed with a nametag or hold stickers and charms, so finish and float are the only two things that decide value.

What are the cheapest CS2 gloves?

Hydra Gloves finishes such as Case Hardened, Mangrove, Emerald, and Rattler sit at the affordable end, along with lower-tier Hand Wraps and Bloodhound Gloves finishes. Exact prices move with float and market conditions.

How do you get gloves in CS2?

Gloves drop only from cases that contain a glove collection, appearing as the gold Extraordinary special item in place of a knife. You open the matching case with a key, and the special-item chance is around 0.26 percent.

Are gloves the same for both sides?

Yes. A single equipped glove finish covers both the Terrorist and Counter-Terrorist side, so one purchase covers your entire loadout rather than needing a separate item per side.

Which gloves are the most expensive?

Sport Gloves (Pandora's Box, Vice) and Specialist Gloves (Crimson Kimono, Fade, Emerald Web) hold the priciest finishes, and certain Driver and Moto patterns can also reach high prices at low float.
