The Best CS2 Agents for Counter-Terrorists

In this post

Hide

For a pretty long time, Counter-Strike did not have character skins at all. There were only CTs and Ts with their default look. At some point, the developers decided to follow modern trends, so they added Agents for both teams. Certainly, the skins don’t affect real competitive abilities, and everything in matches still depends on you. But having one of the best CT Agents in CS2 may create a great atmosphere in your matches, and let your opponents know the danger they are dealing with.

Although selecting an Agent for your Counter-Strike 2 inventory is totally a personal choice, you can still find some good ideas in this article. Choose a character that resonates with your personality and playing style. How do you want to present yourself to teammates and opponents?

Initially, CS2 Agents are available in the time-limited Operations. Once these in-game events are over, the character skins can be purchased from other players. As with other cosmetic items in Counter-Strike (weapon skins), some Agents are more expensive. The price difference is based on the rarity level and general popularity of specific Agents in the community.

The Role of Counter-Terrorists

From the gameplay point of view, Counter-Terrorists play a defensive role in the main competitive mode, Bomb Defusal. Their spawn area is located near the bombsites, so CT players should quickly take the crucial approaches under their control and prevent their opponents from planting the bomb.

The defensive actions should change to offense when the bomb is planted and the remaining Counter-Terrorists become attackers while attempting defuse.

The offensive role is primary for CTs in the Hostage Rescue scenario. Terrorists hold a few people hostage, so Counter-Terrorists have to attack the base of their opponents with the rescue mission.

It is rather impossible to stick to one side in Counter-Strike 2. The game forces players to switch sides after a specific number of rounds. To be good at CS2, you should practice both, CT and T. The preferences sure are allowed—and if you like Counter-Terrorists more, maybe one of the CT CS2 Agents from our list will be perfect for you.

The Most Popular CT Agents

The popularity of CS2 Agents is based on various factors. For example, a streamer showcases a specific skin, and their fans want to have it too. Or an Agent was sold or dropped in limited numbers during their Operation, and then, there are only a few offers of their skin on the market—therefore the price shoots up.

Still, the likes and dislikes of the community are more important here. Sometimes, the designers have such a perfect creative idea that almost every player likes this Agent and wants to play with it.

The money factor is pretty important too. Lots of people may love an expensive skin, but they buy another one—which is also great but substantially cheaper.

We’ve considered the whole variety of aspects to create this list of the best CT Agents in CS2.
