★ Sport Gloves | Slingshot (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

Slingshot is defined by its red mesh-like back and the pale panels that outline the fingers and wrist. Well-Worn copies show patchy red on the knuckles and fingertips, and the light inserts turn noticeably greyer. The worn, rough look suits players who like gloves that appear to have seen real use.

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

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The back of the hand is covered in red synthetic fabric with a fine perforated texture, divided into panels by thin light trim lines. Pale grey inserts run along the fingers, and a light chevron-shaped patch sits near the wrist.

Knuckles and fingertips show patchy, faded red, and the trim lines are partly worn away. The finger inserts turn noticeably grey, and grime spreads across the palm. Colour holds mainly in the middle of the back panel and at the cuff. The rough look is obvious in the first-person view.
