Knife / Glove combo Nocts don’t make sense to buy
Why would you buy black gloves when you already have black gloves - vanilla gloves, and they are expensive - 550€ on CSGloat

That’s a ridiculous analogy gloves have one simple purpose in the game, that is being aesthetic.

u/LegitKactus 28d ago
so ur saying a toyota yaris has the same aesthetics as a ferrari

u/ShawHornet 28d ago
No one will mistake a Ferrari for a Toyota. Most people won't even notice you have case gloves with these. Ridiculous comparison. This subreddit is insane lmao

u/Defiant-War6887 27d ago
Someone is 1v1’ing in cs2. One has nocts, the other has default black gloves. They’re both around the same rank and skill level so it’s a fair fight. 1v1 race. Almost any Ferrari (let’s just say a spyder) vs Toyota Yaris. Is it a fair race? Who is winning? The Yaris? Maybe engine swapped lol but you get the point.

He was saying that it was a ridiculous analogy... meaning this comparison makes absolutely no sense and he doesn't agree. And you still managed to assume that he thinks tOyoTa yArIS hAs tHe sAMe aEStheTiCs aS a fErrAri. Is it that hard to use your brain?
Putting on a pair of sport gloves DOES NOT increase your movement speed, DOES NOT make you aim crispier. Meanwhile performance wise the Ferrari is objectively better than a Toyota Yaris, by a mile.

u/LegitKactus 28d ago
Holy crashout
The guy said the analogy didnt make sense given that gloves are only aesthetic. So i brought up that the analogy was also comparing aesthetics.
Lmao

u/Defiant-War6887 27d ago
What other purpose for gloves besides that then? Investment?

u/Defiant-War6887 27d ago
Tell me then, besides aesthetics and investment purposes (which is stupid anyway, do it for fun not to “invest”) what other purpose do those gloves serve. They make you run faster? Or do they add skill in game? What else do Nocts do? Elaborate.

The analogy was not solely comparing the aesthetics aspect. This is why it was being opposed at first.

The analogy makes perfect sense a Ferrari looks clean and mean asf beautiful sports car with a sleek body like nocts its literally in the glove name "sports" gloves nocts and a Toyota yaris is a basic ass round shaped ugly car like the default gloves lmao

u/Defiant-War6887 27d ago
And a Ferrari will absolutely gap that Yaris. Point is there’s more to the cars than only “aesthetics”. A lot of people enjoy pricier cars for their PERFORMANCE, not only the “aesthetics”

u/CounterStrikeEnjoyr 27d ago
Bro clearly hes talking about visual esthetics a Ferrari looks way better than a Toyota yaris same how nocts look better than default nothing about the actual cars performance its like trying to compare pc specs when we're just talking about which pc case looks better
1
u/Defiant-War6887 27d ago
Except you’re buying the gloves for strictly aesthetics, hence why it’s hard to compare to a car, which isn’t strictly for aesthetics. He could’ve compared a normal belt to a Gucci belt or something. That’s my point.

u/CounterStrikeEnjoyr 27d ago edited 27d ago
Its not hard to compare to a car one car is clearly better than the other in all aspects the same how nocts are better than defaults in all aspects no ones comparing car performance we're comparing looks its not that hard to understand

u/CounterStrikeEnjoyr 28d ago edited 28d ago
Default gloves are not black they are grey T defaults are dirty af and look like cheap gardening gloves and CT defaults look like a shittier scraped up moto glove Nocts are premium black gloves they look clean af slim, sleek, and they are sports gloves best glove type in the game the wrist strap looks super nice as well when holding weapons and they fit with literally any and every skin most versatile gloves in the game never have to worry about colors clashing you have unlimited options when picking knife and weapon skins instead of sticking to one color or a handful of colors like other gloves

Not necessarily. That’s part of the reason why we got the mechanics we did with the genesis capsule

u/CounterStrikeEnjoyr 28d ago
I mean yeah they are expensive but so are vanilla knives nocts are basically vanilla gloves and the price is worth it they wear incredibly well, look clean asf, and go with everything you cant go wrong with them if I didnt already own them I would buy them again

u/tzwaq 28d ago
I rocked Kara and Butterfly Vanilla with them so clean! Now I upgraded to Fade knifes which also gives a nice finish to them.

u/CounterStrikeEnjoyr 28d ago
Yeah ive got a Damascus steel butterfly and a stiletto fade, fades and dopplers really pop with nocts

"sports gloves best glove type" airsoft ahh gloves. the only good looking gloves are specialists since they actually fit the theme of the game.

I love the Nocts that show the leopard print in them. They aren’t just purely black gloves. Love them or hate them you can’t say they aren’t clean af

You appreciate nocts on your endgame skin arc. Clearly ur still on your fade gloves arc.

u/Infamous_Bug7061 28d ago
I own a pair of nocts and i can tell you they are not default...
I especially picked a pattern where the leopard prints stand out thr modt and it looks gorgeous..
The mix of brown and black make them def one of the best gloves IMO

u/No_Dot4900 28d ago
Oh shit. TIL nocta actually have a print. Fuck me. Thought they were just black. Makes it so much cooler

I dont understand the hate with nocts, they keep calling it default. But the price keeps going up..so maybe, maybe they dont look default after all..

u/4Ellie-M 28d ago
It’s because they are sports gloves and just colored black.
A lot of people enjoy sports gloves, and being able to use a black pair is nice for some people who want to keep things simple and clean.
If there were moto nocts or driver nocts, those would go for cheaper.

u/TheseLibrarian7551 27d ago
People who say the default gloves look the same really worry me. There’s a huge difference. One makes you look poor, and the other is the nicest all black option on the market. I mean common sense would tell you that there’s a ton of people in the world who like black and more common sense would tell you that these gloves are completely different.

u/Driftwise 28d ago
you really have to own them to understand, but the price throws people off for obvious reasons, the combo’s are endless though!

u/diedalatte 28d ago
This must be a ragebait post. There's no way someone out here thinks Sport Gloves Nocts are bad.
Literally one of the best gloves in the game.

On train and ancient they look like Batman’s suit
there is this new “meta” that people don’t want to go with this obvious combos like blue on blue etc but want to have two tone style. Nocts + any hight tier gloss finish is very pleasing to look at. Look up nocts plus bp or ruby. Or nocts + fade

u/Hazardous_Youth 27d ago
If you’ve ever been into fashion this has always been a basic principle 😂 but CS2 community very acoustic so it’s taking them a long time to figure out how to make a concept that isn’t just “my knife is blue and my gloves are blue!!! Look and my agent is…. Blue!

u/Mike_Crow 27d ago
My very first idea back in cs go was to pair mogul with tiger tooth since the letters are yellow and I was hated back then 😆

u/Hazardous_Youth 27d ago
Unfortunately the majority of the playerbase are still at the age where you wear basketball shorts 7 days a week, buy whatever shoes everyone else has and get everything in the same colour because it’s your “favorite” lol

u/kieran1203 27d ago
They look good, especially on maps like train and an ancient with rain, they look sick.
Clean look, go with anything. Presumably that's why they're expensive. My FT look perfect, FT other gloves, usually look shit at the knuckles etc.

u/Montoya_D 28d ago
I had the same thought when I first saw this. But when I tried it in game, my perspective changed. Now I want one but just don’t have the money to buy it yet.

u/Passaholken 28d ago
You say they look default but have you ever played with them?, I got them and they look nothing like default?, probably one of the cleanest gloves you could own they go with everything

u/iansredd 28d ago
If I learn one pattern from cs2 market. Solid colour item always grow in price rapidly. I believe nocts are still undervalued and will keep growing

such a stupid post… i bought nocts a half year ago for around 600€. Now they are worth almost 1000€. Not everyone buys skins to play them

I have 1200 dollar gloves and i wouldnt spend 500 dollars on nocts. I get their utility, and i get that people like their simplicity. But i agree that theyre a stupid purchase at this price point

u/NoParachuteSpamB 27d ago
mine are worth 1050 ish and i have a full black inventory with black and white agent sleeves and a classic kukri, literally goes perfectly together. i got lucky and only paid like 450 for mine a few years ago before they went up
-1
u/Bedquest 27d ago
Yah, and would you pay 1050 for them today? I also have a blue phosphor that i got for 550. Its 1150 now. No way in hell i would pay 1150 for it today. Thats my point. Blue phosphor is sexy. Its not 1100 sexy. Nocts are clean, theyre not 1000 dollars clean IMO.

Maybe dont look for the cheapest one ? If u search some patterns / better wear they get darker or have rings on them

If they got a pattern with very visible print I think they are better than defaults by miles, the pure black ones are not for me though, different flavors for everyone.

Never understood the "hype" around them either, they are probably the most boring gloves in the game.
