All new gloves from the Dead Hand Collection: Specialist Gloves
Cloud Chaser Gloves
- Color: blue
- Best Knife Combo: Doppler Phase 4, for example Nomad Knife Doppler Phase 4
- Matching skins for Cloud Chaser Gloves: M4A4 The Emperor, AWP Sun In Leo, AK-47 Inheritance
Beautiful new blue gloves with dragons on them will instantly attract fans of blue skins. The rich color looks great and will make many players happy. They are also a strong alternative to Sport Gloves Amphibious and Hand Wraps Cobalt Skulls.
Pillow Punchers Gloves
- Color: white
- Best Knife Combo: Damscus Steel, for example Skeleton Knife Damascus Steel
- Matching skins for Pillow Punchers: Whiteout skins, MP9 Arctic Tri-Tone, Printstream skins
We have had perfect white Whiteout skins in the game for a long time, but perfect white gloves were missing. Pillow Punchers Gloves will finally take their place in white inventories and will make many CS2 players happy.
Big Swell Gloves
- Color: blue and yellow
- Best Knife Combo: Case Hardened, for example Talon Knife Case Hardened
- Matching skins for Big Swell Gloves: CZ-75 Auto Chalice, M4A1-S Solitude with mountain patterns
These new CS2 gloves look like a mix of sea paintings by Aivazovsky and the style of Hokusai. Blue and yellow is a rare color combo in the game, but Big Swell works perfectly with Case Hardened skins, which didn’t have ideal gloves for a long time. Now that problem is solved.
Sunburst Gloves
- Color: dark blue and orange
- Best Knife Combo: Tiger Tooth, for example Survival Knife Tiger Tooth
- Matching skins for Sunburst: Five-SeveN Angry Mob, M4A1-S Player Two, P2000 Fire Elemental
If you like beautiful sunsets, the new Sunburst gloves are perfect for you. They combine a red-orange gradient with the dark blue color of the night sky. These gloves look bright, but it may be a bit tricky to build a full inventory around them.
Chocolate Chesterfield Gloves
- Color: black and gold
- Best knife combo: Black Laminate, for example Karambit Black Laminate
- Matching skins: M4A1-S Golden Coil, AK-47 The Oligarch, AWP Duality
Black and gold is a classic luxury color combo in the world of CS2 skins. Fans of gold colors will definitely like these gloves. If you want to build a cool inventory, you can get some inspiration from our selection:
Lime Polycam Gloves
- Color: green
- Best knife combo: Gamma Doppler Emerald, for example Huntsman Knife Gamma Doppler Emerald
- Matching skins for Lime Polycam Gloves: USP-S Tropical Breeze, AK-47 Fire Serpent, Galil AR Eco
This amazing pair from Dead Hand Terminal is bright green gloves for players who prefer neon vibes instead of dark forest camouflage. The gloves look simple without complex patterns, but they do their job perfectly.
Blackbook Gloves
- Color: black and white
- Best knife combo: Vanilla, for example Bowie Knife Vanilla
- Matching skins for Blackbook Gloves: Printstream, Galil AR Kami, M4A1-S Mecha Industries
Newest black gloves in CS2 hit different. Black and white gloves with interesting patterns and details. For example, pattern 27 has the words Killa and Ded written on it. Pattern 48 will probably become popular for another reason… but we’ll keep that secret, so we don’t mark this text 18+. In any case, the gloves look great.
All new gloves from the Dead Hand Collection: Sport Gloves
Occult Gloves
- Color: cherry and gold
- Best knife combo: Doppler Phase 2, for example Paracord Knife Phase 2
- Matching skins for Occult Gloves: Glock-18 Gold Toof, Desert Eagle Mulberry, AK-47 The Empress
Very stylish gloves with a beautiful gold pattern and velvet inserts in a deep cherry color. Skins from the Tarot series will match them perfectly because they also look rich and detailed.
Ultra Violent Gloves
- Color: purple and light blue
- Best knife combo: Fade, for example Kukri Knife Fade
- Matching skins for Ultra Violent Gloves: M4A1-S Vaporwave, Desert Eagle Starcade, Glock-18 Axia
Probably the most interesting gloves in this update. Their look depends a lot on the pattern because they can appear more blue or more purple. One thing is clear: such bright gloves need bright skins. By the way, below you can check most wanted purple or blue patterns for Ultra Violent Gloves:
Red Racer Gloves
- Color: red and beige
- Best knife combo: Autotronic, for example M9 Bayonet Autotronic
- Matching skins: MAC-10 Propaganda, AK-47 X-Ray, UMP-45 Grand Prix
Red is a classic color for racing fans. It’s bright and aggressive, so it fits racing gloves perfectly. CS2 has several racing-themed skins. Did you know that two legendary rally cars inspired two cool skins in the game?
Creme Pinstripe Gloves
- Color: black, white and beige
- Best knife combo: Black Laminate, for example Bowie Knife Black Laminate
- Matching skins: MP9 Broken Record, Galil AR Control, AK-47 Phantom Disruptor
These gloves have a very nice color combination and a stylish pattern on the back, but building an inventory around them can be difficult. Luckily, the red and white elements make it easier to find matching skins. By the way, our website has great filters that let you search skins by color. Try it!
Blaze Gloves
- Color: black, yellow and orange
- Best knife combo: Fade, for example Huntsman Knife Fade
- Matching skins for Blaze Gloves: Blaze, M4A4 Hellish, USP-S Orion
These are the dream gloves for biker fans. They match the legendary Blaze skin line and other black-and-orange skins. We recommend a Fade knife, but in this case you should look for a pattern with a lot of orange.
Frosty Gloves
- Color: aquamarine and white
- Best knife combo: Bright Water, for example Flip Knife Bright Water
- Matching skins for Frosty Gloves: P90 Reef Grief, AK-47 Midnight Laminate, AK-47 Aquamarine Revenge
The gloves fully match their name because the color palette looks very cold. Luckily, Counter-Strike is not afraid of cold themes. There are many cold-colored skins in the game, and the map Office even takes place in a snowy winter.
Violet Beadwork Gloves
- Color: purple
- Best knife combo: Doppler Black Pearl, for example Nomad Knife Doppler Black Pearl
- Matching skins: AWP Lightning Strike, Desert Eagle Firebreathing, Glock-18 Shinobu
Another purple pair of gloves in the collection. Ultra Violent feels like neon lights in Miami, while Violet Beadwork gives cozy vibes, like a sweater knitted by your grandma.
All new gloves from the Dead Hand Collection: Driver Gloves
Hand Sweaters Gloves
- Color: green
- Best knife combo: Gamma Doppler Phase 2, for example Bayonet Gamma Doppler Phase 2
- Matching skins: AWP Green Energy, USP-S Overgrowth, MP9 Hydra
Let’s continue the sweater theme. These green gloves can be a great alternative to many other green gloves. Their biggest advantage is the mix of dark and light green, so they work well with almost any green skins.
Plum Quill Gloves
- Color: purple
- Best knife combo: Freehand, for example Karambit Freehand
- Matching skins for Plum Quill: M4A1-S Stratosphere, P250 Plum Netting, Negev Sour Grapes
Purple seems to be very popular again. At least it looks that way because so many purple gloves were added recently. Plum Quill, the newest purple gloves in CS2 from the Dead Hand Terminal, have an unusual texture that looks like many small seeds on the back of the gloves.
Seigaiha Gloves
- Color: aquamarine
- Best knife combo: Bright Water, for example Gut Knife Bright Water
- Matching skins: Dual Berettas Hydro Strike, AK-47 Ice Coaled, AUG Ricochet
A small Japanese lesson: Seigaiha means blue sea and waves. The gloves themselves look simple, but beauty depends on the viewer. Wearing them might even help you reach some zen.
Garden Gloves
- Color: white and light blue
- Best knife: Gamma Doppler Phase 1, for example Butterfly Knife Gamma Doppler Phase 1
- Matching skins: AWP Silk Tiger, Desert Eagle Tilted, AK-47 Frontside Misty
These gloves have a warm home vibe. They are bright enough to set the tone for your whole inventory. Still, you can combine them with interesting white skins and even stickers from the Whiteout collection.
Brocade Flowers Gloves
- Color: turquoise
- Best knife: Gamma Doppler Phase 1, for example Karambit Gamma Doppler Phase 1
- Matching skins: Galil AR Robin’s Egg, MAC-10 Pipsqueak, Dual Berettas Sweet Little Angels
Another pair of gloves with cozy vibes. The flowers are printed rather than embroidered, but the pattern still looks beautiful. The bright turquoise color creates a very positive mood.
Dragon Fists Gloves
- Color: red and black
- Best knife: Crimson Web, for example Kukri Knife Crimson Web
- Matching skins: AK-47 Orbit Mk01, USP-S Bleeding Edge, SG553 Darkwing
More red gloves for the collection. Dragon Fists look like they were made from dragon scales. Imagine hunters defeating a dragon and master leatherworkers turning its skin into gloves. They look powerful.
Brocade Crane Gloves
- Color: red
- Best knife: Slaughter, for example Stiletto Slaughter
- Matching skins: M4A1-S Welcome To The Jungle, AK-47 Bloodsport, AWP Wildfire
Another red pair, but Brocade Crane has a lighter shade than Dragon Fists. The gloves look very artistic and you can build a great inventory around them.
Wave Chaser Gloves
- Color: white
- Best knife combo: Damscus Steel, for example Shadow Daggers Damascus Steel
- Matching skins: M4A4 Temukau, AK-47 Inheritance, AWP Gungnir
Wave Chaser Gloves are very similar to Cloud Chaser, but with a different color palette. These are white gloves with a blue pattern. The combination is rare, but you can still build a great loadout around it. One of the biggest winners of this update might be AK-47 Inheritance, because this skin works with several new gloves.
How much do the new Dead Hand gloves cost?
Since Valve introduced a trade cooldown and gloves are rare items, the price of the new Dead Hand gloves will be unstable at first. Players will want to get the new stylish skins, but the supply will be limited. Still, the community is already sharing information, and their early estimates suggest that the new gloves in Field-Tested condition cost at least $400. Over time the prices will change, but it’s hard to say in which direction. We will keep tracking all price changes.
How to get new Dead Hand gloves?
Right now there are two options:
- Open the Dead Hand Terminal and hope you get the offer to buy them.
- Trade up five Covert skins, and at least one of them must be from the Dead Hand Collection. For a guaranteed trade up result you will need all five skins from the new collection.
