★ Hydra Gloves | Emerald (Battle-Scarred)

The ★ Hydra Gloves | Emerald (Battle-Scarred) is the finish's roughest, most affordable condition, still built on the same black leather and varnished green emblem. It's the entry point for anyone who wants the design without paying for a low float.

Design

The core look doesn't change at the bottom of the ladder: black leather and a varnished green emblem as the one standout accent. Emerald has always leaned on that single contrast rather than extra graphics, and that holds even at its most worn.

★ Hydra Gloves | Emerald (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Battle-Scarred takes up the top of the finish's float range, from 0.45 to 0.80. Because the finish is capped at 0.80 rather than the full 1.00, even this roughest grade stays milder than the worst-case wear on a full-range skin — expect heavy creasing and dulled color across the leather, with the emblem faded but still visible.

Hydra Gloves | Emerald Rarity

Rarity: Extraordinary ★ — the glove rarity tier, a rare special "glove" item pulled from its case pool. That tier is a rare case outcome across the board, regardless of the wear it lands in.

Hydra Gloves | Emerald Case

Emerald can be pulled from the Clutch Case or the Revolution Case, so it isn't limited to one. In both, the rare special "glove" tier that gloves occupy drops at around 0.28%, a rate shared across the whole tier's finishes rather than specific to this one.

Hydra Gloves | Emerald Pattern and Colorway

Emerald has a completely fixed look — no paint seed, no "blue gem" variant, and the same black leather and green emblem on every copy that exists. Float is the only thing distinguishing one Battle-Scarred pair from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

Like the rest of the finish's grades, Battle-Scarred has no StatTrak™ option, because gloves don't carry a kill-tracking mechanic at all, and no Souvenir edition, since Souvenir gear is exclusive to Major-tournament packages that never include gloves.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred worth it over Well-Worn?

Only if the lowest possible price is the goal. Well-Worn looks a fair bit cleaner for a modest step up in cost, so it's the better pick if you care at all about surface condition. Battle-Scarred is for buyers who want Emerald for as little as possible and don't mind the extra wear.

How scuffed does Battle-Scarred look?

Heavily. Expect deep creasing and noticeably dulled color spread across the leather, with the green emblem faded but still readable. It's the roughest the finish gets, though the cap on its float range keeps it from looking as trashed as some full-range skins.

What's the cheapest way to own the Hydra Gloves | Emerald?

Battle-Scarred is it — the lowest grade on the price ladder for this finish. It won't have the glossy contrast of Factory New, but it carries the same black-and-green design for buyers prioritizing price over float.
