Let's take a deep dive into what new skins were introduced in the <strong>Dead Hand CS2 update!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember, if you want to trade any skins from the Dead Hand collection, head over to <a href=\"https:\/\/skinsmonkey.com\/?r=blog&c=post-link-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SkinsMonkey.com<\/a>, where you can always <a href=\"https:\/\/skinsmonkey.com\/?r=blog&c=post-link-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">trade CS2 skins<\/a> for the best prices possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The CS2 update introduced the new <strong>Dead Hand Terminal<\/strong>, a weekly-drop item containing 17 community-designed weapon skins and 22 brand-new Valve-designed glove finishes.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Dead Hand Collection<\/strong> brings 17 skins (with StatTrak\u2122 versions) across SMGs, shotguns, machine guns, and several rifles; plus 22 glove finishes (non-StatTrak).<\/li>\n<li>Items drop randomly during gameplay or can be acquired by opening <strong>Dead Hand Terminals<\/strong> purchased on the Steam Community Market or third-party trading sites like SkinsMonkey.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What is the Dead Hand Terminal?<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Dead Hand Terminal <\/strong>is a new container added to the game, featuring <strong>39 skins from the Dead Hand Collection. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>CS2 terminals <\/strong>are a new kind of in-game containers and provide an alternative to the traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/skinsmonkey.com\/blog\/how-to-get-csgo-cases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CS2 cases<\/a>, introduced way back in the Arms Deal Update. They function slightly differently than CS2 cases, offering much more choice and control over potential drops.<\/p>\n<p>Terminals can either in-game through the <a href=\"https:\/\/skinsmonkey.com\/blog\/cs2-weekly-care-package\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">weekly care package<\/a> system, or purchased on the Steam Community Market or third-party trading sites, like <a href=\"https:\/\/skinsmonkey.com\/?r=blog&c=post-link-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SkinsMonkey.com<\/a>. Unlike CS2 cases, however, <strong>CS2 terminals <\/strong>don't require a separate <a href=\"https:\/\/skinsmonkey.com\/blog\/counter-strike-go-case-key\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CS2 case key<\/a> to open.<\/p>\n<p>When you open a terminal, instead of getting a random skin immidiately, you get a selection of 5 different skins, with varying <a href=\"https:\/\/skinsmonkey.com\/blog\/csgo-skins-wear-levels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">float value<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/skinsmonkey.com\/blog\/csgo-skin-rarity-what-you-need-to-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rarity<\/a>. These five drops are selected randomly, and presented<strong> one at a time. <\/strong>You may either choose to skip each of the drops, or buy the skin currently presented to you. Once you choose one of the skins from the terminal, the other choices are immidiately discarded, and you don't get a chance to buy any other drop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The price of each individual skin is based on it's average market value from the Steam Community Market<\/strong>, meaning that you might end up spending more than you would on a CS2 case. On the bright side, CS2 terminals offer a greater control over potential drops, meaning that you have a higher chance at optaining rare and <a href=\"https:\/\/skinsmonkey.com\/blog\/most-expensive-cs2-skins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">expensive CS2 skins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>What Skins Are in the Dead Hand Collection?<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Dead Hand Collection <\/strong>features 39 skins in total, with 17 different weapon skins, featuring a brand-new <a href=\"https:\/\/skinsmonkey.com\/trade\/awp-skins?r=blog&c=post-link-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AWP<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/skinsmonkey.com\/trade\/glock-skins?r=blog&c=post-link-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Glock<\/a> skin, and 22 brand-new glove finishes.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/clan.fastly.steamstatic.com\/images\/3381077\/214fb25064fffbcf39b02a60f2f7f7a3f55ccc10.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The full list of Dead Hand Collection skins includes:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Mil-Spec (Blue)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>USP-S | Silent Shot<\/li>\n<li>UMP-45 | Fragment<\/li>\n<li>Sawed-Off | Fusion<\/li>\n<li>PP-Bizon | RMX<\/li>\n<li>M4A4 | Zubastick<\/li>\n<li>M249 | Bock Blocks<\/li>\n<li>Five-SeveN | Dark Polymer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Restricted (Purple)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>MP9 | Urban Sovereign<\/li>\n<li>MP7 | Amberline<\/li>\n<li>M4A1-S | Electrum<\/li>\n<li>Galil AR | Galigator<\/li>\n<li>Desert Eagle | Firebreathing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Classified (Pink)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>P90 | Deathgaze<\/li>\n<li>P250 | Kintsugi<\/li>\n<li>AK-47 | Crane Flight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Covert (Red)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Glock-18 | Fully Tuned<\/li>\n<li>AWP | Queen's Gambit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The total list of glove finishes includes:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sport Gloves<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Sport Gloves | Violet Beadwork<\/li>\n<li>Sport Gloves | Ultra Violent<\/li>\n<li>Sport Gloves | Red Racer<\/li>\n<li>Sport Gloves | Occult<\/li>\n<li>Sport Gloves | Frosty<\/li>\n<li>Sport Gloves | Creme Pinstripe<\/li>\n<li>Sport Gloves | Blaze<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Specialist Gloves<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Specialist Gloves | Sunburst<\/li>\n<li>Specialist Gloves | Pillow Punchers<\/li>\n<li>Specialist Gloves | Lime Polycam<\/li>\n<li>Specialist Gloves | Cloud Chaser<\/li>\n<li>Specialist Gloves | Chocolate Chesterfield<\/li>\n<li>Specialist Gloves | Blackbook<\/li>\n<li>Specialist Gloves | Big Swell<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Driver Gloves<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Driver Gloves | Wave Chaser<\/li>\n<li>Driver Gloves | Seigaiha<\/li>\n<li>Driver Gloves | Plum Quill<\/li>\n<li>Driver Gloves | Hand Sweaters<\/li>\n<li>Driver Gloves | Garden<\/li>\n<li>Driver Gloves | Dragon Fists<\/li>\n<li>Driver Gloves | Brocade Flowers<\/li>\n<li>Driver Gloves | Brocade Crane<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How To Get Dead Hand Skins?<\/h2>\n<p>The easiest way to obtain the Dead Hand skins is to open one of the new Dead Hand Terminals. Every Dead Hand Terminal can provide you with one of the new skins from the Dead Hand collection, and even if these terminals provide random drops, the chances are more in your favor, as you can choose one of the five different skins available in each. Still, when you open a terminal you don't get to choose the specific skins that you get.<\/p>\n<p>You can buy Dead Hand skins on the Steam Community Market, but it's not the most efficient method of obtaining new CS2 skins. While it's easy and convenient thanks to its integration with the Steam client, Valve takes a cut out of every transaction, meaning that you won't be able to get the best prices possible on the skins you purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, you should head over to <a href=\"https:\/\/skinsmonkey.com\/?r=blog&c=post-link-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SkinsMonkey.com<\/a>, where you can <a href=\"https:\/\/skinsmonkey.com\/?r=blog&c=post-link-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">trade CS2 skins<\/a> at any time of the day, for the best prices possible.
