Valve releases Dead Hand CS2 collection featuring new glove finishes

Valve has just released a new terminal collection featuring 17 new weapons skins and 22 new gloves finishes.

The new skins will be available for purchase from the Dead Hand Terminal, which will now be available as a possible weekly drop.

This is the second terminal that Valve has introduced into CS2 after the original Genesis Uplink Terminal. Terminals are like cases, but don't require purchase of a key to open. A player who activates a terminal will be given the chance to choose from five skins, revealed one-by-one if the player chooses to decline the first skins on offer. If all five skins are declined, the terminal will "self-destruct" and no skins will be given to the player.

The original Genesis Terminal was met with mixed reviews, as skins such as the M4A4 | Full Throttle were offered for prices as high as $1,500. It appears Valve has taken that criticism on board, as the new Terminal has gloves as cheap as $250.

Given Valve's ongoing legal trouble surrounding cases in the US and EU, terminals appear to be the way of the future to get around local gambling laws.
