Specialist Gloves Fade were added to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in February 2018. They were released together with the Clutch Case. Like other Fade skins, they quickly gained popularity and are priced pretty high. CS.MONEY Blog tells you everything you need to know about Specialist Gloves Fade, their rare patterns, and how much can they cost.

You can buy gloves directly on CS.MONEY! Not only Fade, but any others: quickly and clearly, at low prices!

Specialist Gloves Fade is a pair of blue gloves with pads on the back of the hand, wrist, and fingers. These pads have a gradient color of blue, yellow, and red, as well as gray. Specialist Gloves Fade can be obtained from two cases: the Clutch Case and the Revolution Case. The first case is in the rare drop pool, but the second one is a regular drop from the weekly level-up reward.

There’s also another way to get a pair. Just buy Specialist Gloves Fade from other players! The most convenient way to do this is CS.MONEY. Gloves can be purchased at a low price (lower than Steam) in the Market section, and thanks to a flexible filter system, it is easy to find a suitable pair: both by price and by other parameters, such as pattern or float value.

Overall, there are approximately 25,000 pairs of Specialist Gloves Fade in CS2. These gloves are distributed across 1,000 patterns and five Wear levels. Fade Gloves Float Value range from 0.06 to 0.8, meaining Specialist Gloves Fade are available in: 

• Factory New
• Minimal Wear
• Field-Tested
• Well Worn
• Battle-Scarred

Due to such a wide range of FV and Patterns in the game, it’s impossible to find two identical pairs of Spec Gloves Fade. Which is very cool!

Unlike knives and other Fade skins, Specialist Gloves Fade have no gradient percentage. There’s a simple rule to determine the level of their beauty: the less gray, the better.

All Specialist Gloves Fade can be divided into three large groups. The first one is Full Fade Gloves.

Specialist Gloves Fade Full Fade Pattern Numbers

• #589, #992, #263, #29, #279, #450, #595, #649, #656, #658, #777, #809, #898, #933

The second group includes gloves that have gray, but not much of it, or its location doesn’t really affect the looks. Let’s call this group Top Tier Fade Gloves. This group has more than one and a half hundred patterns, so instead of listing all of them, we will explain how they differ from the usual gloves. Basically, they differ from Full Fade by orange areas. This can be an orange overlay on the knuckle of the index finger or orange on the fingertips.

The last group is just regular gloves, including all the other patterns. Such gloves are given away by the amount of gray, because there is a lot of it. The overlay on the back of the hand or most of the overlay on the wrist can be colored gray.

Overall, the price for Specialist Gloves Fade range from $200 to several thousand, depending on Wear and Pattern. The most basic pairs won’t cost much, but they’ll also look worse, while rarer ones can reach sky-high prices.

There are three things to look for when estimating the price of Specialist Gloves Fade. First, there’s the amount of gradient, the simplest and most straightforward metric. A pair with a full gradient can cost twice as much as a regular pair.

Two more things to look for are the color of the wrist and the color of the backhand pads. The left wrist is what’s visible in-game when dual-wielding a weapon like AK-47, AWP, or M4A1-S. The right wrist is what’s visible when inspecting the weapon. So gloves with bright colors in those areas may cost more.

The color of the backhand pads can play a role in combo selection. For example, to pair Bayonet Tiger Tooth, you should choose a pair of Specialist Gloves Fade with an orange overlay on the back. Such a one-color combo will look much cooler than just pink plus blue gloves.

Let’s finish with another obvious factor affecting the price of Spec Gloves Fade: Float Value. As it increases, the appearance of the gloves begins to deteriorate, showing noticable scratches and fabric damage. This significantly affects the price! One pair of Factory New Fade Gloves can cost from 10 to 20 times more than a pair of Field-Tested!
