CS2 Glove Trade-Up Scanner - Covert to Gold Glove Contracts
Glove trade-ups are normal Covert to Gold contracts where the selected case pool can output gloves. They often have wider float ranges than knives, so wear targeting and price quality are especially important.
Scan Glove Trade-Ups →Why Glove Trade-Ups Need Extra Float Checks
Gloves often have broad float ranges, so Factory New targeting can be expensive or unrealistic. A contract that looks profitable at Minimal Wear may become weak if the predicted output lands in Field-Tested.
TradeUpX flags wide float ranges and shows predicted wear per possible glove output to make that risk visible before you buy the Covert inputs.
Normal Only, Not StatTrak
Glove Gold trade-ups are normal-output contracts. StatTrak Covert inputs do not produce StatTrak gloves, so StatTrak Gold scans in TradeUpX intentionally exclude glove outputs.
How Glove Pools Differ From Knife Pools
Far fewer case pools can output gloves than can output knives, so the eligible set of glove contracts is smaller. Glove finishes such as Sport, Specialist, Driver, Moto and Hand Wraps also tend to have broader float ranges than knives, which makes wear targeting the single biggest factor in your result.
Because the spread between a Field-Tested and a Minimal Wear glove can be large, two contracts with identical input cost can have very different expected value purely from where their predicted float lands.
Budgeting a Glove Contract
A glove contract still costs five Covert inputs, so the entry price is similar to a knife contract — but the variance is higher. Treat the input cost as the figure you must beat on average, and only commit when the scanner shows positive EV after Steam's 13% fee, not just a high best-case glove price.
If you are budget-sensitive, start with the cheapest eligible pool that still shows positive ROI and accept that glove outputs reward patience over single attempts.
