Specialist Gloves | Tiger Strike

★ Specialist Gloves | Tiger Strike is a CS2 glove skin combining orange tiger stripes with charcoal padding and cream panels. The patterned backs contrast with larger, mostly solid sections on the palms. Its bold colors suit orange-accented or dark loadouts. Buyers can choose from Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred exteriors.

Description

★ Specialist Gloves | Tiger Strike gives CS2's Specialist Gloves an animal-striped finish with contrasting protective panels. Black markings across the orange backs form the design's main visual feature. Cream edging separates those patterned areas from the dark padding, keeping the different sections clearly defined. The palm-facing surfaces use broader color blocks instead of repeating the busy striped treatment. Orange stitching around the segmented finger guards adds detail beyond the main pattern. This combination suits players seeking colorful gloves with a structured, equipment-focused appearance rather than an understated finish. The available exteriors give buyers a choice of cosmetic conditions without changing the identity of the design. When comparing listings, the exact float value and item images help distinguish individual pairs carrying the same finish name.

History and Origin

★ Specialist Gloves | Tiger Strike was released in CS:GO on December 3, 2020. Its introduction accompanied the Operation Broken Fang update and the Operation Broken Fang Case. Valve created the finish rather than a community designer. Current case-opening routes also include the Snakebite Case and Recoil Case. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025, ending new drops for these cases. As of October 9, 2026, none of the associated cases remains available through drops. Existing cases can still be purchased on the market and opened, so retirement does not remove the opening route. Finished pairs can also be obtained through the Steam Community Market or player trades without opening a case.

Finish Style

The Tiger Strike finish combines bright orange, dark charcoal and pale cream across distinct glove panels. Irregular black stripes cover the orange back, creating an uneven tiger-patterned surface rather than a repeating geometric motif. Cream edging borders this area, while dark raised padding marks the knuckles. The fingers carry segmented dark guards framed by orange stitching. Orange "TORTUE" lettering appears on the cuff as a separate detail from the striped panels. On the palm-facing glove, an orange outer border surrounds dark palm padding. Cream sections across the fingertips and thumb contrast with the denser charcoal areas. The patterned back and mostly solid palm give the practical, protective glove design different visual rhythms on opposing surfaces.

Float Value

The float value of ★ Specialist Gloves | Tiger Strike ranges from 0.06 to 0.80. Available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred, with none of these exterior categories excluded. There are no StatTrak™ or Souvenir versions; version availability is separate from the cosmetic condition of an individual pair.

Rarity and Popularity

★ Specialist Gloves | Tiger Strike has Extraordinary rarity, which is separate from its exterior and float value. Its chance from the Operation Broken Fang Case is 0.011%, a figure specific to that case. Professional players DANK1NG, Hobbit and degster own the skin, providing concrete examples of ownership without establishing broader market demand.

Why it’s Popular:

• Bright orange backs with distinctive black tiger stripes

• Cream panels contrast with dark protective padding

• Detailed finger guards and orange stitching

• Available across every exterior category

Price Range

The live ★ Specialist Gloves | Tiger Strike price range is $80.63 to $1,704.11. These bounds cover the whole item rather than a particular exterior. Exterior and exact float value are useful distinctions when comparing individual asking prices. There are no StatTrak or Souvenir alternatives to separate out during a CS2 skin price comparison. Check listing images alongside condition details, then compare equivalent offers before deciding which pair to buy.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open a Weapon Case

Open an Operation Broken Fang Case, Snakebite Case or Recoil Case for a chance at Tiger Strike. These cases no longer drop, but existing cases can still be bought and opened. The Operation Broken Fang Case offers a 0.011% chance, so opening it does not guarantee this finish.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy ★ Specialist Gloves | Tiger Strike directly through the Steam Community Market instead of relying on a case result. Check the listing's exterior and available condition details before selecting a pair.

4. Trade with Other Players

Obtain Tiger Strike by trading with another player who owns a pair. Confirm the exact item, exterior and float value, then compare the offered gloves with alternatives before accepting.

Trading and Investment Considerations

The absence of new case drops constrains case supply, but unopened cases still provide a route to additional gloves. Professional ownership demonstrates use, not trading volume or dependable buyer demand, so the market outlook remains uncertain. Before buying, selling or trading, compare exterior, exact float value and visible condition rather than treating every Tiger Strike listing as interchangeable.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Associated cases no longer receive new drops

• Documented ownership by professional players

• Distinctive orange and black tiger-striped design

• Exterior choices support different condition preferences

The editorial investment rating is medium-to-good, supported by retired case drops, distinctive styling and documented professional ownership. The main risk is that existing cases can still produce additional pairs while sustained buyer demand remains uncertain. This supports a conditional holding case, not a promise of rising prices.
