Ancient-tier Broken Fang gloves with a tight 0.06–0.80 float range. Pattern and edge wear shift fast—inspect before you buy, and match them to your Broken Fang loadout if you care about set cohesion.
At a glance
Needle Point is a Broken Fang glove finish for the glove slot. The in-game display name is simply Needle Point. It shipped with Operation Broken Fang on December 3, 2020—that date lines up across the Steam operation announcement and public skin databases (C5GAME, Skin.club, and similar). Credits usually list Valve; there’s no named Workshop author, so treat it as in-house Valve work.
Classification: Gloves. Rarity: Ancient (Covert). Float window 0.06–0.80, so Factory New through Battle-Scarred drops and trades are all on the table. Valve’s blurb is literally just the name—no lore—so pattern placement, contrast, and corner wear should come from in-game 3D inspect, not a thumbnail.
Why wear matters on gloves
Glove finishes punish float. The same art can look clean on one pair and rough on another: knuckles, back of hand, and edges pick up scuffs and fade at different rates. Before you commit:
- Scroll several wear samples in a inspect tool or community server.
- Check whether the pattern sits centered and whether scratches break the look you want.
- Lock a float band that matches your taste, then hunt inside that band—not “any FN” or “any BS.”
Loadout angle
Needle Point sits in the Broken Fang-era glove pool. If you’re building around Broken Fang knives or other gloves from that operation, the palette can tie a set together when you match overall tone. Budget tight? Higher wear often costs less; lower wear usually keeps details sharper—either way, re-inspect the exact listing before checkout.
Shop verdict
Worth considering if you want Broken Fang identity on hands and you’re willing to inspect-first shopping. Skip impulse buys off static images; gloves are one of the categories where float and pattern luck matter most.
Editor’s notes
Ancient gloves are flex pieces, but Needle Point’s story is minimal—what you’re really paying for is how it reads on your float and how it pairs with the rest of your kit. Treat the 0.06 floor as a reminder that even “low float” doesn’t mean identical: two pairs in the same tier can still diverge on knuckle wear. If you’re finishing a Broken Fang-themed inventory, add these after you’ve already seen a few live inspects; if you just want generic dark gloves, compare other Ancient options in the same budget before you lock in.
