Counter Blox gloves are cosmetic handwear items in Headwind's Roblox tactical shooter that replace default character hands in first-person, third-person, and spectator views. Classified as exceedingly rare Gold-tier items featuring a star in their item name, gloves carry substantial trading weight alongside knives. Players can acquire them by opening specific weapon cases, purchasing featured bundles, or meeting the minimum 100-value threshold to trade in the Trading Hub.
Glove Types in Counter Blox
Counter Blox features four distinct glove models, each supporting an assortment of colorways, patterns, and finishes:
- Sport Gloves (Sports Gloves): Form-fitting athletic gloves featuring reinforced knuckle and wrist sections, including popular high-tier finishes such as Imperial, Blood Web, and RSL.
- Handwraps Gloves: Cloth combat tape wrapped tightly around the hands and forearms, available in patterns like Dark Damascus, Purple Hex, Yellow Hazard, and Sweetheart.
- Strapped Gloves: Tactical gloves secured with wrist straps, including Blackout, Liberty, Kringle, and Racer variants.
- Fingerless Gloves: Open-fingered tactical designs such as Azure, Ultraviolet, and Verdant Apex.

How to Get Gloves in Counter Blox
Players have three primary methods for obtaining glove cosmetics in the game:
1. Opening Weapon Cases
Gloves drop as special Gold-tier items from selected crates.
- Permanent Cases: The standard Remastered Case (50 credits/funds) includes gloves in its Gold drop pool. Permanent releases like the Vector Case feature Strapped Gloves finishes such as Blackout, Caffeine, Snow Leopard, Velvet Vow, and Vesper.
- Themed and Event Cases: Special seasonal crates regularly introduce exclusive finishes. For example, the Spectral Case introduced multiple Reinforced variants of the Sports Glove, the Valentine Case dropped Sweetheart Handwraps and Velvet Vow Strapped Gloves, and the Dynasty Case offered limited chances at high-tier Imperial and Blackout gloves.
2. Purchasing Bundles
Certain official shop bundles grant gloves directly without unboxing RNG:
- Racer Bundle: Includes Strapped Gloves | Racer along with matching Racer knives, pins, and skins.
- Toxic Nitro Bundle: Included Handwraps | Toxic Nitro alongside themed weapons and an event pin.
3. Trading in the Trading Hub
Players holding at least 100 total inventory value can enter the dedicated Trading Hub server. Glove owners frequently trade mid-tier gloves (such as Guts, Crystal, or Grim) for equal-value knives or multiple liquid gun skins like Desert Eagles and AK-47s.
Essential Glove Mechanics and Rules
When collecting or trading gloves, keep the following game rules and technical details in mind:
- No StatTrak Unboxing: Following update v1.5.9.4, developers officially removed StatTrak gloves from case unboxing pools. Official patch notes explicitly advise against overpaying for existing StatTrak glove variants.
- Visibility and Rendering Fixes: While an older bug previously prevented spectators and third-person observers from seeing equipped gloves, mid-2024 patches resolved third-person synchronization. Further fixes corrected PBR glove model orientations and spectator viewmodels.
- Trading Value Hub Entry: Accounts must possess an inventory worth at least 100 base value before the game allows connection to Trading Hub servers.
