Who are Terrorist Agents in CS2 (CS:GO)?

Before we get into the details, let’s start with a brief overview. What are Terrorist Agents in CS2 (CS:GO)? Agents are skins for terrorists in CS2 (CS:GO). Agents are also available for counter-terrorists, and we have an article where we picked out the five best. However, this time, we’re focusing on the terrorist skins.

Valve added Agents in 2019, a great addition to the game. It added personality and variety to the terrorist in CS2 (CS:GO), and many players enjoyed playing with their favorite Agents. However, Valve made a few mistakes along the way. We’ll discuss those mistakes in detail later.

How to Acquire Terrorist Agents?

There are a few ways to get Terrorist Agents in CS2 (CS:GO). The easiest way is to buy them from the Steam Market. It is the most expensive option, but it is also the fastest.

Another way to get Agents is to complete special events. Valve hosts these events periodically, which typically involve completing challenges to earn Agents. It is a free way to get Agents, but it can take time and effort.

The third option is to open two special cases on Hellcase containing CS2 (CS:GO) terrorist skins. These cases are Agent Case and Riptide Agents Case. 

Criteria for Selecting the Best T Agents

We’ve come to the most interesting part, which is the criteria for selecting Terrorist Agents in CS2 (CS:GO). Earlier, we wrote that Valve made a small mistake when releasing Agents that greatly impacted the gaming experience and balance in the game overall.

So, what is it? The answer is simple. In CS2 (CS:GO), you see the Terrorist Agents visually: their sizes, shapes, and colors. But the game sees more; the most important is the “hitbox.”

What is this “hitbox,” and why is it so important? Every time you shoot an enemy, your bullet doesn’t just hit the player’s model but one of the zones: arms, legs, head, torso, and others. Each zone has a specific number of pixels and a different volume.

So, what’s wrong with the Agents that Valve added? When the company was creating Agents, they focused on the beauty of the Agents and completely forgot about hitboxes. As a result, we got a lot of Agents with visually identical heads, but the software size of the heads of the new Agents is smaller.

It gives players using these Agents an unfair advantage. It can be harder to hit them in the head, which is the most important target, and in some games, it becomes like a legal cheat that Valve released in its game.

Investigations & Reflections

It is possible that if it were not for the Twitter user with the nickname “@ansimist,” this would all be a secret, and no one would have guessed about it. However, an analyst conducted a fascinating study in which he proved that the visual size of the head differs from the software size, and in some cases, we can shoot directly at the head but not hit it. After all, the software code sees that you did not hit the hitbox of the head.

On the Twitter page of this user, there is not only a theory, there are also a lot of facts and visual confirmation.

If you are interested in figuring it out and watching the investigation, here is a table containing all the characteristics and indicators of these or those Agents.

Map Compatibility

The fact that Terrorist Agents in CS2 (CS:GO) have different hitboxes is indeed shocking. However, it is important to remember that in the first place, Agents have visual differences, such as color, hairstyle, shape, and others. These are all factors that help us find a player on the battlefield. But some Agents have an advantage: they are less expressive and do not have bright colors that will be better noticeable, which better camouflages them than standard terrorist models.
