★ Specialist Gloves | Tiger Strike (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Tiger Strike combines a warm orange-and-brown stripe pattern with black armour pieces and light cream accents. In Field-Tested the cream parts pick up visible grime and the orange starts to look duller, which gives the gloves a used, field-worn character. The stripe motif itself stays clearly readable.

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

Appearance in Field-Tested

The back of the hand is covered in a dense orange and dark brown tiger-stripe weave, crossed by a dark strap with the word TORTUE on it. The knuckles and finger backs carry black padded guards with thin orange inlays, while the fingertips and side panels are cream with visible stitching.

The cream fingertips and side panels show noticeable dirt, and the stitching looks greyed. The orange palm becomes less saturated and the raised edges of the knuckle guards start to look scuffed. In game the gloves read as used but the stripe pattern is still clear. The tiger-stripe weave on the back of the hand holds up better than the light parts.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since cleaner floats keep the cream fingertips noticeably lighter.
• Inspect the cream fingers and stitching first, as they show dirt earlier than any other part.
• Look at the orange palm in the inspect view, because its brightness drops steadily with wear and you see it often in game.
• Compare a few copies in the same grade, as a low float in a worn grade can look close to the cleaner grade above.
