New CS2 update adds 22 fresh Gloves, as well as 17 weapon skins in Dead Hand Collection

Valve has released a new CS2 update featuring 22 pairs of Gloves as part of the Dead Hand Collection. The update also features 17 new weapon skins, all of which can be purchased directly from the new Dead Hand Terminals, which players can receive as Weekly Drops.

Valve releases first new CS2 Gloves in a long time

It has been a very long time since Valve last launched new CS2 gloves. So long ago, in fact, that it was back in CS:GO. The 22 fresh Glove sets will provide a much-needed refresh on the server, and prices are sure to be sky-high when the first ones go on the market.

The 17 new CS2 skins are all designed by community contributors, meaning the Dead Hand Collection is a collaboration between Valve and talented creators. The Dead Hand Terminals, which are used to purchase the new collection, can only be found in Weekly Drops at the time of writing.

All the new weapon skins and gloves can be viewed here.
