An in-depth pattern guide and tierlist for the best Specialist Gloves | “Crimson Web” patterns!
Intro
I created this guide in hopes that it could help the community pick a pair of Crimson Web gloves they like – without having to go through hundreds of preview images and inspects.
Obviously there is a LARGE level of objectivity that must be acknowledged, and I am not claiming that my opinion is the be-all-end-all in regards to the tier ranking – as everyone will have their own opinions and preferences.
As a quick note: make sure to inspect your gloves IN GAME before making your purchase! This is important because some people prefer what I call “inspect centered” webs and some people prefer “play centered” webs (these categories are explained below)
Pattern Categories Explained
I wanted to start fresh from scratch – without any outside influence from anyone else’s lists. This means I sorted through every pair of “Crimson Web” gloves manually to pick out the best patterns.
For this guide, I used CSMoney’s “Wiki” page to generated .png images that give a much clearer view of the pattern than if I were to inspect them in-game.
PLEASE NOTE: The wear on the images of the gloves is based on the best float that CSMoney’s “Wiki” database has registered. Most of these screenshots are of MW or FT gloves, however some of them may be of WW or even BS. This does not mean that FN or MW versions of the pattern you are looking at does not exist – it only means that they have not been registered into CSMoney’s database.
I would like to mention that I struggled a lot with how to rank the web placement of these gloves because, as you can see below – the web centering on the part of the glove that you see the most when holding a knife is not actually “centered” on the glove if you are looking at a buff or csmoney screenshot of the glove. However, I still chose to categorize the “Tier 1” patterns as the ones where the web is centered on the glove as seen in the csmoney / buff screenshots – because these are typically the ones selling for higher overpay. You will see that “Tier 2” and “Tier 3” patterns tend to lean more towards centering based on the playmodel (more towards the thumb.)
Example of the “Playmodel” view
PLEASE NOTE: This list will exclude all webs that are considered to be “Fake Webs” as seen in the image below.
Examples of “Fake Webs”
To begin, I sorted through every single “Crimson Web” pattern available – to manually to pick out the top BTA (Better Than Average) patterns.
I then entered the top patterns into a spreadsheet and sorted them into groups based on the pattern categories I found. These are the patterns that I came up with:
“Double Web” Patterns
These are easily the most desired patterns (and the ones that get the most overpay) This is because they have 1 large web on both hands of the glove – making them one of the rarest pattern categories!
Example “Double” Pattern (#330)
Ranking these patterns was extremely difficult because everyone will have their own priorities when looking at the patterns. Some people will prefer patterns that are more symmetrical – even if the web placement is not as good. Some people would rather have 2 really large webs – even if they are not as symmetrical. As a general rule of thumb – I put more weight into how symmetrical the web is – but everyone will have their own opinion. I will note that symmetry is much harder to notice in-game than it is on a screenshot – because the viewmodel puts the hands at different angles when holding a knife.
Example “Symmetrical” Pattern (#323)
Example “Un-Symmetrical” Pattern (#922)
“Right Hand” Patterns
These are the patterns with the best web placement on the right hand – therefore nothing about the left hand glove has been considered when ranking these. These are ranked based on how well the web is centered using the image below as a reference of the ideal centering. As a reminder – if you are looking for a web that is more centered towards the in-game playmodel view while holding a knife (more towards the thumb) they will generally be ranked in the Tier 2 or Tier 3 categories.
Centering Example
Example “Right Hand” Pattern (#820)
“Left Hand” Patterns
These are the patterns with the best web placement on the left hand – therefore nothing about the right hand glove has been considered when ranking these. These are ranked based on how well the web is centered using the image below as a reference of the ideal centering. As a reminder – if you are looking for a web that is more centered towards the in-game playmodel view while holding a knife (more towards the thumb) they will generally be ranked in the Tier 2 or Tier 3 categories.
Centering Example
Example “Left Hand” Pattern (#198)
“Triple Web” Patterns
These are the patterns that have 3 webs combined between both hands. They are probably not very desirable patterns because of how “cut off” some of the webs are – but I thought they were cool enough to include.
This category has 2 different tiers based on where the third web is. Tier 1 patterns have a web on one of the index fingers (I thought about calling these “Finger Web” patterns) – while Tier 2 patterns have the 3rd web barely visible and are much less desirable because usually only the center of the web is visible.
Example Tier 1 “Triple Web” Pattern (#914)
Example Tier 2 “Triple Web” Pattern (#916)
“Double Web” TIER 1 Patterns
These patterns are ordered from BEST (at the top) to WORST (at the bottom)

“Triple Web” TIER 1 Patterns
These patterns are ordered from BEST (at the top) to WORST (at the bottom)
These are the patterns that have 3 webs combined between both hands. They are probably not very desirable patterns because of how “cut off” some of the webs are – but I thought they were cool enough to include.
This category has 2 different tiers based on where the third web is. Tier 1 patterns have a web on one of the index fingers (I thought about calling these “Finger Web” patterns) – while Tier 2 patterns have the 3rd web barely visible and are much less desirable because usually only the center of the web is visible.
Example Tier 1 “Triple Web” Pattern (#914)

Conclusion
BONUS 4 WEB PATTERN!
Pattern #162 is actually the only pattern that I found that had 4 webs on it! Even though most of the webs are cut off – I still think this is a pretty cool and unique pattern!
