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:
Tier 1: Sunburst Max Yellow Patterns
The following patterns feature little to no orange beams with maximum yellow coverage. The Max Yellow patterns pop in the updated lighting system and are considerably more expensive than the regular ones.
Patterns: 14, 75, 79, 184, 208, 209, 257, 350, 460, 507, 686, 687, 735, 761, 764, 821
Tier 2 Sunburst Yellow Patterns
The Tier 2 Sunburst patterns have more prominent orange and red accents, in some cases only on one glove. However, these still feature a significant amount of yellow coverage on both gloves.
Patterns: 15, 47, 48, 93, 272, 305, 333, 384, 435, 461, 473, 511, 561, 668, 738, 742, 765, 771, 820, 910, 919, 975, 976
Tier 3 Sunburst Yellow

Specialist Gloves Sunburst FAQ
How much do the Specialist Gloves | Sunburst cost?
Prices depend heavily on wear and pattern. On Skin.Land, Battle-Scarred pairs start around $150, Field-Tested runs about $220, and Minimal Wear sits near $420. Factory New copies are extremely rare and can climb past $1,900. Clean Max Yellow patterns carry an extra premium on top of these base prices.
What is a Max Yellow Sunburst pattern?
Max Yellow describes the most sought-after Sunburst patterns, where the sunbeams show little to no orange or red and lean almost entirely into bright yellow. The community values this clean look the most, so patterns like 14, 75 and 208 sell for noticeably more than the common Max Red or Max Orange variants.
Do the Specialist Gloves | Sunburst come in StatTrak?
No. Like every pair of gloves in CS2, the Sunburst has no StatTrak version and no kill counter, since gloves aren't weapons. You'll only find them in the standard version across the five wear levels. The only real variables to compare are float value and pattern index.
Where did the Specialist Gloves | Sunburst come from?
The Sunburst arrived with the Dead Hand Terminal update as one of the first new glove finishes in over five years. Players who opened the terminal could choose between a skin or a pair of gloves. Now that the drop is over, the easiest way to get a pair is directly from a marketplace like Skin.Land.
Does float affect how the Sunburst gloves look?
Yes. A lower float keeps the colors vibrant and the gradients sharp, while higher-float pairs look faded with softer tones. Float works alongside the pattern index, so the same pattern can look brighter or duller depending on wear. It's worth checking both the float and the seed before you buy.
