Agents in Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) – these are purely cosmetic character skins for players. They replace the usual faction models and let you customize how your character looks. Agents don’t have wear levels or pattern indexes like weapon skins. The only difference between two identical agents can be patches (like stickers for skins). Some agents also include special voice lines or animations.

Classification of Attack Agents in CS2

CS2 classifies attacking-side (terrorist, T-side) agents into four rarity tiers: Master, Superior, Exceptional, and Distinguished.

• Master Agents – the rarest and most premium, with extra animations, voice lines, and eye-catching outfits.
• Superior Agents – rarer than the base level, but cheaper and simpler than Master.
• Exceptional Agents – middle-tier choice, decent looks for a lower price.
• Distinguished Agents – the most common and basic; just a small variation from default models.

Because of these tiers, players can choose best attack CS2 agents based on budget or taste – from flashy premium to basic simple skins.

Notable T-Side Agents (2025)

Some of the more popular and recognised T-side agents today:

• Sir Bloody Miami Darryl – a Master Agent from The Professionals, often considered the top T-agent because of his bold look and high demand on market.
• Number K – a Superior Agent with distinctive style and strong community popularity.
• The Doctor Romanov – Master Agent from Sabre faction. For many players he’s a favourite because of his distinctive outfit and vibe.
• Getaway Sally – an Exceptional Agent, good if you like something stylish but more affordable than top-tier skins.

And many more – there are dozens across rarities and collections.

How to get agents in CS2

There are two main ways to get an agent:

• During special operations – when the game is running an operation event, there’s usually a shop or drops that let you get agents. But operations are rare now.
• Marketplace / trading – when no operations are active, the only way is to buy or trade agents via platforms like the Steam Community Market or trading sites.

Because of this, many agents become rare and sometimes expensive – especially older or popular Master Agents.

Do agents give a real advantage in CS2?

Strictly speaking – no. Agents are purely cosmetic. They don’t change hitboxes, weapon performance, or give any real in-game advantage.

However, sometimes people feel certain agents are visually better on some maps. For example, a light-colored agent on darker map textures might be easier to spot (or harder to see). On map like Inferno this can create a small visual difference – though nothing reliable or competitive. 

So if you pick an agent, do it for looks, not for gameplay advantage. Here you can watch the tier list of all T-side agents:

Agents in CS2 are a fun way to customize your character. Whether you pick a flashy Master Agent, a mid-tier Exceptional Agent, or a basic Distinguished Agent – it’s all about taste. None of them give real gameplay advantages, but they let you express style. If you care about how your character looks, explore the wide variety of all attack CS2 agents currently available.
