The Glove Case in Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) is a rare weapon case containing rare weapon skins and exclusive gloves. Originally introduced in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO), this offering has crossed into CS2 and still continues to grow in popularity, and its price is well earned due to the rarity aspect. The Glove Case is one of the few in CS2 that has the chance to receive gloves in place of the common knife in the rare special slot.

How to Obtain the Glove Case and Its Contents

You can acquire the Glove Case through in-game loot or Steam Community Market and third-party stores. You require a key to open the case and this key is available through direct purchase from in-game store or Steam Market. Once opened, the case can yield various classified, restricted, and covert skins, with a rare chance to drop gloves.

The contents of the case include 17 weapon skins and 24 unique glove variants across different glove types. The Gloves represent the rarest tier of reward and are among the most valuable cosmetic items in the game.
