What Is the Clutch Case in CS2?
The Clutch Case arrived with the "Welcome to the Clutch" update in February 2018 and is one of CS2's glove cases — a small group of cases where the ultra-rare drop is a pair of gloves instead of a knife. Unlike newer containers, the Clutch Case is no longer part of the active weekly drop pool, so you can't earn it for free by playing; you'll need to pick one up on the market instead. The upside is that it's dirt cheap (under $1) and absolutely loaded with desirable gloves, which keeps it one of the more popular cases for glove hunters even years after release.
The case holds 17 standard weapon skins — 2 Covert, 3 Classified, 5 Restricted, and 7 Mil-Spec — plus the glove pool as the rare special item. As with every case, you'll need a Clutch Case Key (around $2.50) to open it. Worth clearing up a common mix-up right away: there are no knives in the Clutch Case — the rare special drops are all gloves.
What Gloves Are in the Clutch Case?
The Clutch Case drops 24 glove finishes across six glove types — Driver Gloves, Hand Wraps, Hydra Gloves, Moto Gloves, Specialist Gloves, and Sport Gloves. Every glove is Extraordinary rarity and prices span an enormous range: the most accessible Hydra finishes start around $130 Factory New, while the Specialist Gloves | Crimson Kimono and Sport Gloves | Superconductor both sit above $8,000 FN. For a full ranking of gloves across all cases, see our gloves tier list and most expensive gloves guide.
Driver Gloves
The iconic King Snake — red-and-black snakeskin — is the case's most recognisable pull and one of the most coveted gloves in CS2.
| Finish | FT | FN |
|---|---|---|
| King Snake | ~$140 | ~$2,290 |
| Imperial Plaid | ~$170 | ~$870 |
| Overtake | ~$50 | ~$360 |
| Racing Green | ~$30 | ~$190 |
Hand Wraps
Hand Wraps are fingerless leather-and-fabric bandage gloves with exposed knuckles — Cobalt Skulls is the most coveted finish, while Spruce DDPAT commands unusually high Field-Tested prices thanks to its tight float range.
| Finish | FT | FN |
|---|---|---|
| Cobalt Skulls | ~$210 | ~$1,250 |
| Spruce DDPAT | ~$500 | ~$840 |
| Overprint | ~$100 | ~$480 |
| Constrictor | ~$50 | ~$240 |
Hydra Gloves
The most accessible type in the case — all four finishes have Factory New listings under $350, making them the realistic "good pull" tier for most players.
| Finish | FT | FN |
|---|---|---|
| Case Hardened | ~$60 | ~$340 |
| Emerald | ~$40 | ~$150 |
| Rattler | ~$30 | ~$140 |
| Mangrove | ~$30 | ~$130 |
Moto Gloves
Moto Gloves feature segmented armoured panels with a bold wrist strap — Blood Pressure's deep-red carbon-fibre look is the most popular finish, and Polygon's geometric grid design is a close second.
| Finish | FT | FN |
|---|---|---|
| Blood Pressure | ~$120 | ~$580 |
| Polygon | ~$110 | ~$550 |
| Transport | ~$40 | ~$280 |
| 3rd Commando Company | ~$40 | ~$260 |
Specialist Gloves
The case's most expensive type by a wide margin — Crimson Kimono is the single priciest pull in the entire Clutch Case at over $9,000 FN, and Emerald Web isn't far behind.
| Finish | FT | FN |
|---|---|---|
| Crimson Kimono | ~$1,800 | ~$9,080 |
| Emerald Web | ~$1,900 | ~$4,490 |
| Field Agent | ~$130 | ~$930 |
| Lt. Commander | ~$110 | ~$570 |
Sport Gloves
Sport Gloves are lightweight rubber-grip gloves with bold colorways — Superconductor and Vice both push past $5,000 FN, making this the case's second most expensive type overall.
| Finish | FT | FN |
|---|---|---|
| Superconductor | ~$2,470 | ~$8,540 |
| Vice | ~$450 | ~$6,000 |
| Amphibious | ~$320 | ~$2,290 |

The Covert Skins — M4A4 | Neo-Noir & MP7 | Bloodsport
The M4A4 | Neo-Noir is the case's standout skin — a comic-book-style femme-fatale design in purple and teal that's stayed popular since launch, running around $180 in Factory New and roughly $35 in Field-Tested. The Neo-Noir finish later spread to other weapons (the Glock-18 and USP-S versions command big prices too), but the M4A4 is the one from this case.
The second Covert, MP7 | Bloodsport, brings the same bold red "racing livery" look that made the AK-47 Bloodsport a community favorite — around $80 Factory New, a strong value pick for an SMG main weapon.
Clutch Case Odds & Drop Rates
The Clutch Case uses the same fixed drop rates as every other CS2 weapon case:
| Rarity | Drop Chance |
|---|---|
| Mil-Spec (blue) | 79.92% |
| Restricted (purple) | 15.98% |
| Classified (pink) | 3.20% |
| Covert (red) | 0.64% |
| Rare Special — Gloves | 0.26% |
In plain terms: roughly 4 of every 5 openings give you a sub-$3 Mil-Spec skin. A Covert (Neo-Noir or Bloodsport) appears about once every 156 openings, and a glove of any kind roughly once every 385 openings. For a fuller breakdown of how case probabilities work, see our CS2 case odds and chances guide.
Is the Clutch Case Worth Opening?
For most players, no — not as a money-making move. Opening one case costs about $3.13 (roughly $0.63 for the case plus $2.50 for the key), and about 80% of the time you'll pull a Mil-Spec skin worth a couple of dollars. The dream is obviously a Crimson Kimono or King Snake pull, but at 0.26% glove odds you'd open hundreds of cases on average to land one — and it could just as easily be a $130 Hydra Mangrove as a $9,080 Crimson Kimono.
Like every CS2 case, the Clutch Case has a negative expected value: on average you get back less than you put in. If you want a specific skin or glove from the case, buying it directly is almost always cheaper and guaranteed. Treat case opening as paid entertainment, not investment. For which cases give the least-bad value, see which CS2 case is best to open, and for items that actually hold value, our CS2 skins to invest in guide.
Where Can You Buy the Clutch Case?
If you've weighed the odds and still want to try your luck — the glove dream is a powerful thing — there's no need to overpay for the case itself. You can grab the Clutch Case on Skin.Land for around $0.63, and pair it with a Clutch Case Key for an opening. And if it's a specific glove you're chasing, remember you can also buy any Clutch glove outright on the market — no gambling required, and you'll usually spend less than chasing it through keys.
Can You Rent Clutch Case Skins?
Yes. Valve's official skin-rental feature launched with the Kilowatt Case in May 2024 and expanded to cover every CS2 and CS:GO case — including the Clutch Case — by November 28, 2024. Pick "Open for rent" instead of "Open" and you'll unlock all 17 standard weapon skins from the collection for seven days, for the price of the case plus a key. The one catch specific to this case: gloves are excluded from the official rental system, the same way knives are excluded from knife cases — so the King Snake, Amphibious, and the rest of the Clutch glove pool can't be rented, only bought outright. Rented skins disappear from your inventory automatically after the week and can't be traded or sold in the meantime. Our full guide to renting CS2 skins walks through the process.
