You can now get glove skins in 'Counter-Strike: Global Offensive'
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players are freaking out over fancy gloves.
In a completely unexpected addition to Tuesday's CS:GO update, developer Valve introduced a brand new way to customize your look: different styles of gloves.
The update makes it possible for players to collect the Glove Case, which -- when opened -- randomly drops one of the 24 different glove skins or 17 weapon skins.
It works like other cases in CS:GO -- you need a key purchased with real money to open one, and the contents inside are randomized. You aren't guaranteed to get the exact loot you want when you open the Glove Case; you might not even get a glove.
The new loot drop treats the weapon skins are standard loot -- meaning they're the more common drop -- and the glove skins are special loot. So even when you open one, it'll still take some luck to find a pair of gloves.
Here is a look at all 24 glove skins:
They're broken down into six different categories, and each category has four different palette swaps. The categories are Moto, Driver, Wraps, Bloodhound, Sport, and Specialist.
Like weapon skins, players can buy and sell glove skins in the Steam marketplace, and some of them are already marked at $400 at the time of publishing.
Along with introducing new gloves, Tuesday's update includes some map updates for Dust 2 and Train (the annoying bump on the terrorist-side stairs has finally been removed), along with some other miscellaneous improvements, like changing potted plant collision sounds and adding Steam Group Lobbies.
Steam Group Lobbies allow players to join lobbies created by other players in their Steam Groups. When you click Play With Friends and you're displaying your Steam Group tag, people in your Steam Group can now join your lobby.
