★ Hydra Gloves | Case Hardened (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

Case Hardened on the Hydra Gloves mixes a metallic blue and violet print with olive leather and brass hardware. Well-Worn copies show a faded, patchy print and darkened leather, so the gloves take on a weathered, almost oxidised look. The emblem and studs still hold the silhouette together, which keeps the skin recognisable on screen.

Item type: gloves. Extraordinary is the gloves rarity: in cases they are the rare special item, above any weapon skin.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The back of each glove carries the case-hardened print: a metallic surface in sky blue and steel grey with oily violet, orange and gold reflections. A raised padded panel on the back of the hand is lined with brass studs and topped with a gold serpent emblem, with further studs along the knuckles.

The print fades in patches across the back panel, with grey areas breaking up the blue and gold. Cuffs, finger rims and the palm side look dirty and darkened. Knuckles and the raised panel around the studs are noticeably rubbed. The emblem shape stays readable, but the overall look in game is weathered.

• Check the area around the studs on the raised panel for faded spots.
