Sport Gloves sit close to the hand and read clearly in third person, which makes color choice matter as much as float. Violet Beadwork leans into that brief: violet as the headline tone and a beadwork-inspired decorative read across the glove surface. How the motif sits on knuckles, seams, and edges—and how bright it feels under different lighting—should always be confirmed in-game; community screenshots and listing thumbnails can drift from what you see on inspect.

Release Date

These gloves shipped on 2026-03-11 as part of the Dead Hand Skins update. Multiple skin entries from the same batch point to one coordinated drop day. If you track new glove releases or you are building a Dead Hand–themed loadout, treat that date as the line-in-the-sand for when this pair entered circulation.

Designer

Valve handled the design in-house. That official, series-first approach shows up alongside other Dead Hand pieces: cohesion across the set matters more than a standalone third-party signature look.

Source

You obtain them from Sealed Dead Hand Terminal rewards, not from the rotating weapon-case pool. Target the sealed terminal packages and their drop tables if you want this pair on purpose; digging through legacy cases is the wrong hunt.

Skin Features

Category: Sport Gloves. Rarity: ancient—top shelf within the glove category. Wear spans 0.06 to 0.8, so you will see everything from relatively clean pairs to heavily worn ones in the wild. Sport Gloves wear aggressively on the back of the hand, knuckles, and edges; two listings with similar floats can still look meaningfully different once you spin them in inspect. Price off actual screenshots and in-game checks, not a single number in isolation.

Highlights

As a fresh terminal drop, early market listings stay thin and scattered across wear tiers. Sampling several float bands before you anchor a buy price reduces the chance you overpay off one lucky listing.

The 0.06 floor leaves room for low-wear collectors, while the 0.8 ceiling guarantees plenty of high-wear inventory—do not assume the whole market clusters near one band.

In third person, Sport Gloves already pull attention; violet beadwork pops harder against dark uniforms or neighboring Dead Hand items, which boosts set recognition when you are dressing a coordinated kit.

Before you commit, browse wear-specific photos on C5GAME, then return to the game for a full inspect rotation. Focus on whether scratches cut through the beadwork areas and whether the pattern sits centered where you care—that workflow beats guessing from a thumbnail.
