What the ★ Hydra Gloves | Mangrove look like in Field-Tested

The fingertips are open. A pale olive-gray mesh with a scaly pattern covers the back and the fingers, while the cuff and the plate in the center of the hand are brown-olive leather. A brass snake emblem lies on the plate, and brass spikes are set along the edges. Valve describes a blend of leather, synthetic mesh and brass, and that is the combination of materials the glove shows.

Wear reads as scuffing of the leather and mesh at the creases and knuckles. The Field-Tested band of the ★ Hydra Gloves | Mangrove lies between 0.15 and 0.38. The condition of the pair is set at the drop.

Where the ★ Hydra Gloves | Mangrove came from

The Clutch Case is the first case for this finish. On February 10, 2023 Valve released the Revolution Case and noted that the gloves from the Clutch Case lie in it as rare special items. Valve separately mentions the Operation Hydra logo and the spikes.

Getting the ★ Hydra Gloves | Mangrove

The gloves come from two cases, the Clutch Case and the Revolution Case, where they lie as a rare special item and the wear arrives at random. The other route is a contract, in which five Covert skins from one collection give one special item. The finish cannot be chosen in a contract, so a particular wear is bought as a ready listing.
