★ Sport Gloves | Superconductor (Battle-Scarred)

The ★ Sport Gloves | Superconductor in Battle-Scarred (BS) take the float stretch of 0.45 to 0.80. The skin tops out at 0.80, and the scale on these gloves never reaches 1.00. They are Extraordinary rank, with the star. In CS2 the pair drops from the Glove Case and the Operation Hydra Case, and among Sport Gloves it is the third most expensive finish.

What the ★ Sport Gloves | Superconductor look like in Battle-Scarred

The base is dark gray, in places brownish steel, with whitish smears. On the back of the hand sits a gray panel with vertical ribs, each lit by a thin turquoise line. Fingers and palm are covered in a turquoise honeycomb mesh over the gray, the cuff has a turquoise edge, and the triangular logo on the cuff is white. The hexagonal cells on the fingers read clearly, and a fine grain runs across the gray field like oxidized metal.

In Battle-Scarred the turquoise glow on the knuckles and fingertips goes out first, and then the gray field fades toward whitish. The wear is recorded at the drop and does not change afterward.

Where the ★ Sport Gloves | Superconductor came from

Valve made these gloves itself, not a Steam Workshop author. The finish was released on November 28, 2016, and it carries number 10018 in Valve's finish catalog.

Phase and pattern

Copies differ, but the spread is slight and falls on the palm side, where the pattern index shifts the texture overlay. The finish has no named rare patterns, so no premium is paid for an index number. After float, this is the main price factor.

What to check before buying

Several things change from listing to listing:

• float: from 0.45 to 0.80, a span that holds both nearly clean pairs and noticeably scuffed ones;


• turquoise glow on the knuckles and fingers: the higher the float, the dimmer it is;


• pale smears on the gray field: they lie differently on each pair.

What the ★ Sport Gloves | Superconductor cost in Battle-Scarred

The gaps between wears are wide here. Well-Worn (WW) costs 1.63 times as much, Field-Tested (FT) 1.96 times, and Minimal Wear (MW) three times. Factory New (FN) costs more than twelve times as much.

Among nineteen Extraordinary Sport Gloves finishes, Superconductor is outpriced in this wear by just two, Pandora's Box and Hedge Maze. Ultra Violent and Nocts sit just below, then Arid and Vice. The cheapest of the row is Bronze Morph.

Getting the ★ Sport Gloves | Superconductor

The pair comes from two cases, the Glove Case and the Operation Hydra Case. Crafting is also possible: five Covert skins of one type are exchanged for a special rare item from the collections of the inputs, and the pair cannot be chosen.

Is there a StatTrak version

No. Gloves never have StatTrak in the game, so the ★ Sport Gloves | Superconductor has no such version.

Who this wear suits

Battle-Scarred is justified if:

• you want a gray and turquoise Extraordinary pair at the most accessible point of this finish;


• scuffing on the knuckles and fingers does not bother you;


• the price step matters: Well-Worn costs only 1.6 times as much as Battle-Scarred.
