Frequently asked questions
How do you get Dead Hand gloves in CS2?
Collection items are obtained through Dead Hand Terminals. A terminal can appear in the weekly care package, but getting one does not automatically grant you gloves.
First, you get an inactive Sealed Dead Hand Terminal. You can earn one as a weekly reward or buy it from another player, since it can be traded and sold before activation. Once you click “Activate Terminal,” you can no longer trade or sell it. The terminal shows several offers from an arms dealer, and you can buy only one item. After the purchase, the terminal is consumed. The same happens if you turn down the final offer. Items bought this way come with a certificate naming their original owner. The terminal and its offers are available for a limited time.
