The Best Specialist Gloves Sunburst Patterns

This year, the Dead Hand Terminal update shook up the entire Counter-Strike sphere by introducing a number of new glove finishes. We should remind you that there were no new gloves drops for more than five years, so it’s kind of a big deal. Among a few other gorgeous gloves there is a brand-new Specialist Gloves finish with warm vibrant tones. The Specialist Gloves | Sunburst is a refreshing take on pattern-based gloves with a unique bright color scheme. Similarly to the legendary Fade and Marble Fade finishes, the Sunburst’s allure lies in the intricate pattern that looks different depending on the index number. The sunset-looking pattern is randomized, having a thousand possible variants, but only a small number of the Sunburst patterns look distinctly different from the rest. In this guide we’ll walk you through the best Specialist Gloves Sunburst patterns you can get in Counter-Strike 2. 

What’s Special About the Specialist Gloves Sunburst

Specialist Gloves are highly respected and desirable gloves that bring a utilitarian, rugged and tactical look onto the server, thanks to a mix of leather and synthetic materials with reinforced knuckles. The Sunburst finish implements a blazing yellow-and-red sunset with straight rays against the dark blue backdrop. The deep blue base color contrasts with yellow, orange and red, making the gloves look like an evening sky. Overall, the design is quite refreshing even when compared to other Specialist finishes. The retro-futurism enjoyers, such as yours truly, are quite fond of these gloves.  

Depending on the pattern index of your gloves, they can have an entirely different look – starting from a bright yellow outer side, to a tricolor mix of red, orange and yellow. There are lots of Max Red and Max Orange patterns that are widespread and have no overpay regardless of the float value. The CS2 community unanimously decided to show higher appreciation for the clean yellow colorway with no visible orange or red sun rays, which also translates to a higher price for said patterns, also known as the Max Yellow patterns.  

Specialist Gloves Sunburst Pattern Tier List 

The majority of patterns will have at least two colors on the sunbeams, with extremely rare clean yellow or red color schemes. Also, the float affects the appearance of the gloves in a big way – the lesser quality version will have less vibrant colors with softer gradients. Here are the most prized Sunburst patterns:
