★ Hydra Gloves | Rattler (Field-Tested)

The ★ Hydra Gloves | Rattler (Field-Tested, FT) carries the finish's leather, snakeskin, and brass construction into its most common condition. It's the middle ground of the range — visible wear, but still a clear step above the roughest grades, at a friendlier price than the top two.

Design

The finish stays built around the same mixed materials: leather forming the base, the snakeskin panel adding its scaled texture, and brass hardware where the two meet. It's a construction-driven design without any printed graphic layered on top, which keeps the look consistent no matter the condition.

★ Hydra Gloves | Rattler (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Field-Tested spans 0.15 to 0.38 within the finish's 0.06–0.80 range. Here the leather and snakeskin start to show honest wear and light creasing across the knuckles and fingers, while the brass hardware picks up a faint dulling but stays clearly visible. It's a wear level that reads as used without looking rough.

Hydra Gloves | Rattler Rarity

Rarity: Extraordinary ★ — the glove rarity tier, the rare special "glove" item drawn from its case pool. Landing any finish in this tier is a rare case pull, whatever wear it comes out in.

Hydra Gloves | Rattler Case

Rattler comes out of the Clutch Case and the Revolution Case, giving it two possible sources rather than one. Both cases place gloves in the rare special "glove" tier, which drops at about 0.28% of openings — a rate spread across every glove finish available, not weighted toward this one.

Hydra Gloves | Rattler Pattern and Colorway

Every copy of Rattler shares the same fixed leather, snakeskin, and brass build — there's no paint seed and no "blue gem" version to look out for. The only real variable from one pair to the next is float.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak™ variant exists for this finish, or for gloves generally, since there's no kill-tracking mechanic built into them. Souvenir is likewise absent, as Souvenir items are only handed out through Major-tournament packages, which gloves never appear in.

Hydra Gloves | Rattler Price

Field-Tested lands in the middle of the Rattler ladder, cheaper than Minimal Wear (MW) and Factory New (FN) while still clearly ahead of the two worn grades below it. It's the balance point for buyers who want the textured build without paying top price for the lowest float. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Field-Tested a good value grade for Rattler?

For most buyers, yes. It costs meaningfully less than the top two grades while still showing the leather, snakeskin, and brass clearly, making it the wear level a lot of players settle on when they don't need the lowest possible float.

How worn does the Field-Tested Rattler look?

Expect visible wear on the snakeskin texture and light creasing on the leather at the knuckles and fingers, more than Minimal Wear but nowhere near the heavier wear on Well-Worn (WW) or Battle-Scarred (BS). The brass hardware stays identifiable even with that wear present.

Does the snakeskin texture still stand out at Field-Tested?

Yes, though it loses a touch of definition compared to the cleaner grades. The scale pattern is still easy to make out on close inspection, and it remains one of the more recognizable details of the finish at this wear level.
