Glove Case Gloves: All 24 Pairs, What Each Costs, and the Real Cost of Unboxing One

Valve's own item text answers the first half. The Glove Case listing on the Steam Community Market shows the case's description as Valve writes it: "Container Series #179", a list of 17 weapon finishes, and then one gold line, "or the Exceedingly Rare Gloves!" (read 29 October 2026). That wording matters. Most weapon cases end on "an Exceedingly Rare Special Item", which can mean knives. The Glove Case names gloves outright, so its gold pool is gloves only. There is no knife in this case, in any finish.

The listing does not say which gloves, so I took the list from the Counter-Strike Wiki on Fandom, read through its API on 29 October 2026, and then checked every name against Steam. The wiki gives the release as the 28 November 2016 update and groups the gold pool into six types of four finishes:

• Bloodhound Gloves: Snakebite, Bronzed, Guerrilla, Charred
• Driver Gloves: Crimson Weave, Lunar Weave, Diamondback, Convoy
• Hand Wraps: Slaughter, Badlands, Spruce DDPAT, Leather
• Moto Gloves: Spearmint, Cool Mint, Boom!, Eclipse
• Specialist Gloves: Crimson Kimono, Emerald Web, Foundation, Forest DDPAT
• Sport Gloves: Superconductor, Hedge Maze, Pandora's Box, Arid

Two outside checks agree with that count. PC Gamer's report on the update, published 29 November 2016 and still carried in Steam's news feed for the game, described the Glove Case as having "24 all-new gloves, as well as 17 new weapon skins". And on Steam itself, all 24 names resolve to real item pages. Twenty-one of them had at least one live listing when I searched; three had none at all, which I come back to below.

Three things follow from that list.

• Bloodhound Gloves only come from here. A Steam search for "Bloodhound Gloves" returned 20 item pages, and those 20 are exactly the four Glove Case finishes in five wear tiers each. If you see Bloodhound Gloves anywhere, they started life in a Glove Case.
• The other five types have newer finishes elsewhere. Driver, Hand Wraps, Moto, Specialist and Sport Gloves all have more finishes than these four: Steam search returned 55 to 91 item pages for each of those types, against 20 for Bloodhound. Hydra and Broken Fang Gloves are separate types that never came from this case. A Driver Gloves | Racing Green or a Hydra Gloves | Rattler is not a Glove Case drop, whatever a listing title suggests.
• No StatTrak gloves. A Steam search for StatTrak Sport Gloves returned nothing, and none of the 83 glove item pages I found carried a StatTrak tag. The StatTrak versions in this case belong to the weapon skins only.

The table below is the whole gold pool, priced the way a buyer would see it on 29 October 2026: the lowest Steam Community Market listing for each glove in any wear, plus the cheapest Field-Tested copy, because Field-Tested is where most people start looking. None of these gloves is in this site's live price feed, so these are fixed snapshot figures and they will drift.

Source: Steam Community Market search, one query per glove type and finish, read 29 October 2026 between 06:48 and 06:56 UTC. Prices are the lowest asking price in US dollars, not completed sales. "Listings of that item" is Steam's count for the wear tier shown in the price column.

Read the table by type first. The cheapest copy of each type was close together at the bottom: Driver Gloves at $82.58, Bloodhound at $84.70, Hand Wraps at $94.14 and Moto at $97.52, with Specialist at $128.00. Sport Gloves are the outlier. The cheapest Sport pair from this case was an Arid in Battle-Scarred at $423.98, five times the Convoy. Of the 21 gloves with a listing, 12 had a copy under $150 and 16 under $300.

Then read across a row. The jump from the cheapest wear to Field-Tested is where the finish shows. A Battle-Scarred Driver Gloves | Crimson Weave started at $207.06, the Field-Tested one at $1,782.50, 8.6 times as much for the same finish. Bloodhound Gloves are the reverse: their Field-Tested copies sat between $190.04 and $240.00, close to their worn copies, so a Bloodhound is the cheapest way to own a Field-Tested Glove Case glove.

Supply is thin. Adding up Steam's listing counts for every wear of every Glove Case glove gives 495 listings across 83 item pages, out of a possible 120 (24 gloves in five wears). Bloodhound Gloves had the most at 161, and Sport Gloves the fewest, 15 across the whole type. Three gloves had no listing at all: Specialist Gloves | Crimson Kimono, Sport Gloves | Hedge Maze and Sport Gloves | Pandora's Box. Their item pages exist, so they are real; nobody was selling one on Steam that morning. I am not printing a price for them, because a price without a listing would be a guess. If you want one, check the third-party venues compared on our CS2 skin marketplaces page.

The Glove Case's gold chance is the same as every standard CS2 weapon case: 0.26% per open. It is the Rare Special Item tier in the odds Valve has disclosed since 2017, next to 79.92% Mil-Spec, 15.98% Restricted, 3.20% Classified and 0.64% Covert. The CS2 case opening odds page explains where those numbers come from and works through the cumulative maths. Each open is independent: nothing in Valve's disclosure makes the next open more likely to hit after a run of blues.

From 0.26% you get two results. On average a gold item turns up once every 385 opens (1 ÷ 0.0026 = 384.6). And 385 opens still give only about a 63% chance of at least one pair of gloves, so more than a third of people who open that many get none.

Now the bill. Each open needs one Glove Case and one Glove Case Key, which Valve sells for $2.49. On 29 October 2026 the lowest Steam listing for the case was $11.51, with Steam reporting 1,336 sold in the previous 24 hours at a median of $12.15. So:

One open = $11.51 + $2.49 = $14.00
385 opens × $14.00 = $5,390.00

Of that, $4,431.35 is cases and $958.65 is keys. This is the opposite of a new case. On a cheap active case the key is most of the cost; on the Glove Case the case is 82% of it, so the case price is what moves the bill. If the case rises or falls by a dollar, 385 opens move by $385.

One honest limit. $5,390 is the average cost of some pair of gloves, not of a particular one. Valve does not publish how the 0.26% splits between the six glove types, the 24 finishes or the wear tiers, so nobody outside Valve can tell you the odds of a Sport Gloves pull specifically. Anyone quoting a per-glove chance is guessing, and this page doesn't.

Renting doesn't get around this. The case listing says "Items in this container can be rented." When Valve introduced rentals with the Kilowatt Case in 2024, it said a rental covers the weapons in a case excluding the rare special item, so renting a Glove Case gives you its weapon skins for a week and never gloves.

The other 99.74% of opens give one of the case's 17 weapon finishes. Valve's listing names all 17 and the wiki assigns their grades, which match the colours on the listing:

• Covert (2): M4A4 | Buzz Kill, SSG 08 | Dragonfire
• Classified (3): Sawed-Off | Wasteland Princess, P90 | Shallow Grave, FAMAS | Mecha Industries
• Restricted (5): USP-S | Cyrex, Nova | Gila, M4A1-S | Flashback, G3SG1 | Stinger, Dual Berettas | Royal Consorts
• Mil-Spec (7): P2000 | Turf, MAG-7 | Sonar, MP9 | Sand Scale, Galil AR | Black Sand, MP7 | Cirrus, Glock-18 | Ironwork, CZ75-Auto | Polymer

I priced only the two Coverts, because they are the weapon skins people open this case for besides the gloves. On 29 October 2026 the cheapest M4A4 | Buzz Kill on Steam was a StatTrak Battle-Scarred at $107.99, and a regular Field-Tested started at $254.26. The cheapest SSG 08 | Dragonfire was a StatTrak Battle-Scarred at $110.91, with a regular Field-Tested at $223.17. One oddity worth noticing: for both Coverts, several StatTrak wears were listed below the regular version of the same wear, for example a StatTrak Field-Tested Buzz Kill at $109.85 against $254.26 for the regular one. I am reporting that as I saw it, not explaining it.

A Covert hit is 0.64% per open, roughly 2.5 times as likely as gloves. That does not make the case profitable on average. 79.92% of opens are Mil-Spec, and I did not price those, so I can't give you a dated expected value for this case. The are CS2 cases worth opening page does that sum on a measured case, and the shape of the answer is the same here: the blues return a small fraction of a $14.00 open.

No, not if you want a particular glove. Compare the two numbers. The average spend per gloves pull is $5,390. The most expensive glove in the table, the Sport Gloves | Superconductor at $1,313.11 for its cheapest copy, is about a quarter of that. Every other glove with a listing is cheaper still. The chart above puts all 21 next to the red bar for 385 opens, and the red bar dwarfs them.

Put the other way, $82.58, the price of the cheapest Glove Case glove, buys five opens and change at $14.00 each. Five opens at 0.26% give you about a 1.3% chance of any gloves at all. Buying gives you the pair you chose, in the wear you chose, for certain.

So the useful question is which pair to buy. Here is the short version:

1. If you want any gloves at the lowest price, skip this case entirely. Our CS2 gloves guide found the cheapest glove in the game on 14 October 2026 was a Battle-Scarred Hydra Gloves | Rattler at $33.21, less than half the cheapest Glove Case pair. The gloves under $80 list has more.
2. If you want a Glove Case glove specifically, buy a Battle-Scarred Driver Gloves | Convoy ($82.58) or Bloodhound Gloves | Snakebite ($84.70) instead of opening.
3. If you want gloves that look clean, buy a Field-Tested Bloodhound: $190.04 for Snakebite, against $598.84 or more for a Field-Tested Driver from this case.
4. If you want Crimson Weave, decide on wear first. Battle-Scarred started at $207.06 and Field-Tested at $1,782.50, so buy the worn one and keep the difference.
5. If you want the case's Covert rifle, buy a StatTrak Battle-Scarred M4A4 | Buzz Kill at $107.99 instead of chasing a 0.64% pull.
6. If you want a Sport pair from this case, Arid in Battle-Scarred at $423.98 was the only realistic entry, and Hedge Maze and Pandora's Box had no Steam listing to buy at all.

When does opening make sense? Only as entertainment: pick a budget you would spend on any other game purchase and treat it as gone. On that basis the Glove Case is an expensive ticket, because the case alone costs more than four keys. The cost to open a CS2 case page prices every case per open if you want something cheaper. And stay away from third-party sites selling "Glove Case openings", glove giveaways or deposit bonuses. This site does not cover or link to them, and none of them change Valve's 0.26%.

Every price on this page is a snapshot, so here is exactly what I did, so you can repeat it on the day you buy.

For the contents, I read the case's description on its Steam listing, which names the 17 weapon finishes and says the gold item is gloves. I took the 24 glove names from the Counter-Strike Wiki through its API, because the listing does not name them, and then searched Steam once for each glove type plus finish. Every name returned a real item page. For the prices, I used Steam's own market search between 06:48 and 06:56 UTC on 29 October 2026, which returns the lowest asking price and the number of listings for each item. I took the case price from Steam's price overview for the Glove Case the same morning.

Three limits to keep in mind:

• These are asks, not sales. A lowest listing is what one seller wanted at that moment. With five to ten listings behind most of these items, one sale can move the floor.
• Steam is one venue. I did not compare third-party marketplaces for this page, so a pair may be cheaper elsewhere. Steam prices also include its fee and pay out in wallet funds only.
• Float and pattern are not in the price. The cheapest Battle-Scarred listing could be a float of 0.45 or 0.99, which look very different on gloves. Check the float before you buy; the how to check CS2 float guide shows how.

The case's own price is not in the site's three-day price feed either, so the $11.51 and the $5,390 that depends on it are fixed to 29 October 2026. For cases we do track, see the CS2 case prices page, and for everything else start from the CS2 cases hub or the cs2skinprices.com homepage.
