★ Hand Wraps | Duct Tape (Field-Tested)

The ★ Hand Wraps | Duct Tape in Field-Tested (FT) is silver duct tape in CS2 laid over light wrappings. It is Extraordinary rank, with the star, and drops from the Clutch Case and the Revolution Case. There are five wears, from Factory New to Battle-Scarred, and the float runs from 0.06 to 0.80.

What the ★ Hand Wraps | Duct Tape look like in Field-Tested

Valve describes the wraps as knuckle protection and wrist support for hand-to-hand combat. These are fingerless gloves. Silver-gray strips of tape lie over pale cream wrappings and go around the wrist and the back of the hand. The light fabric stays open at the base of the fingers and at the tips. In the description of this finish Valve adds that the matching wraps are surprisingly durable but breathe poorly.

In this wear the ★ Hand Wraps | Duct Tape are a 0.15 to 0.38 band, and listings from the two ends of the stretch look different. Wear on these reads in the fabric, not in scratches: scuffing lands on the wrist creases and on the tape at the knuckles.

Where the ★ Hand Wraps | Duct Tape came from

The finish was first in the Clutch Case. On February 10, 2023 Valve released the Revolution Case and put the Clutch Case gloves into it as rare special items. That brought the finish to two cases.

What to check before buying

Before paying for the ★ Hand Wraps | Duct Tape, it helps to check:

• float: the 0.15 to 0.38 band is long, so compare the numbers before paying;


• wear in the name: Factory New costs nearly six times as much, and on a small picture those pairs look alike;


• side: the gloves are open to both teams, and there is no separate variant.

What the ★ Hand Wraps | Duct Tape cost in Field-Tested

For this finish Factory New costs nearly six times as much. Minimal Wear is one and a half times pricier, Well-Worn a twentieth more, and Battle-Scarred is level.

Among the Hand Wraps finishes, Duct Tape lies nearer the bottom of its rank. Overprint costs about twice as much, while Giraffe, Constrictor, Desert Shamagh and Arboreal are cheaper by a few percent. At the top of the rank, Badlands, Slaughter and Leather cost nine to thirteen times what Duct Tape does.

Getting the ★ Hand Wraps | Duct Tape

The gloves drop from the Clutch Case and the Revolution Case, and the wear comes out at random. A special item can also be built by contract: five Covert skins from one collection give a random result, so neither the finish nor the wear can be picked. Pick up the wear you want as a ready listing.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ Hand Wraps | Duct Tape in Field-Tested is worth it in these cases:

• you want a pair for CS2 without paying extra for the top wears, where Factory New costs six times as much;


• silver tape matters more than the state of the fabric, and scuffs on the creases do not bother you;


• you want a neutral gray for your hands that does not argue with the rest of the loadout.
