3 Major Updates

• Operation Shattered Web, November 18, 2019. 22 Agents added.
  
• Operation Broken Fang, December 3, 2020. 20 Agents added.
  
• Operation Riptide, September 21, 2021. 21 Agents added.

With the introduction of the Shattered Web Agents, the idea was to have an equippable Agent that can be used on any map.

Quality, Win & Loss Animations

In previous Operations, Agents were obtainable by spending 'stars' earned from Operation missions, with lower quality Agents costing fewer stars. The only perceivable difference between any of the 4 Agent qualities are the Master Agents, and it can only be seen and heard in-game.

• Blue - Distinguished Agent
  
• Purple - Exceptional Agent
  
• Pink - Superior Agent
  
• Red - Master Agent

Win & Loss Animations

While playing Competitive and Premier mode, the conclusion of the match will bring a screen showcasing 'end-of-match accolades.' Should you have a Master Agent equipped, your Agent will do an alternate animation either celebrating your victory or showing discontent with the loss. Master Agents exclusively have access to win and loss animations.

All Master Agents have unique winning animations and losing animations of their own, with a few exceptions. The two 'Crasswaters' (Crasswater The Forgotten and "Medium Rare" Crasswater), and the 5 Master Agent 'Sir Bloody Darryls' from the Broken Fang Collection share the same win/loss animation, respectively. Strapped Bloody Darryl however, which was released in the later Riptide Collection as a Superior Agent, has lost his title as 'Sir' and has neither win or loss animations.

Master Agent, Unique Voice?

A common misconception about which Agents have unique voices can be traced back to the Shattered Web F.A.Q.:

Q:Which Agents have unique cheers and voices?
A: Master Agents have unique cheers and voices[...]

While this was true at the time with only 4 Master Agents in the game (2019), later updates brought Master Agents that would share voice lines.

All Master Agents, other than the 'Crasswaters' and the 'Bloody Darryls', have unique voice acting each to their own.

COUNTER-TERRORISTS

Breakdown By Quality:

• 9 Distinguished Agents (Blue)
  
• 8 Exceptional Agents (Purple)
  
• 6 Superior Agents (Pink)
  
• 6 Master Agents (Red)

All 6 of the Master Agents belonging to the Counter-Terrorist side possess unique VO and win/loss animations. All other Counter-Terrorist VO's can be loosely categorized into 5 groups where they each share a single voice actor.

The 'S.A.S.' Agents

The Special Air Service and New Zealand Special Air Service operators share the same S.A.S. VO.[counterstrike.fandom.com]

The 'Seal Team 6' Agents

Operators of the United States Navy's Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) Teams of the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), the United States Air Force Tactical Air Control Party (USAF TACP), the Brazilian 1st Battalion and the German Special Forces Command (Kommando Spezialkräfte) all make use of the ST6 VO.[counterstrike.fandom.com]

The 'S.W.A.T.' Agents [M&F]

Standard law enforcement Special Weapons and Tactics (S.W.A.T.) teams alongside the Federal Bureau of Investigation's S.W.A.T. Hostage Rescue Teams account for the VO's of several more Agents.[counterstrike.fandom.com]

The S.W.A.T. Agents feature separate VO's for their male and female Agents.

'S.W.A.T.' Male Agents

'S.W.A.T.' Female Agents

The 'Gendarmerie Nationale' Agents

to integrate alongside the GIGN in counter-terrorism, should the need arise.

The Gendarmerie Nationale was added to CS:GO in Operation Riptide, on Sept. 21 2021.

The Master Agents [CT Side]

All 6 of the CT Master Agents come with unique VO and win/loss animations.

TERRORISTS

Breakdown By Quality:

• 7 Distinguished Agents (Blue)
  
• 8 Exceptional Agents (Purple)
  
• 9 Superior Agents (Pink)
  
• 10 Master Agents (Red)

Only 3 Master Agents are truly unique. The 5 'Sir Bloody Darryl' Master Agents, as well as the 2 'Crasswater' Master Agents, share the same VO and win/loss animations, respectively.
All other VO's can be categorized into several groups where the same voice actor is used.

The 'Phoenix' Agents

The Phoenix Connexion is a fictional terrorist organization emanating from Post-Soviet Russian States and Eastern Europe. (Quotes[counterstrike.fandom.com])

The 'Sabre' Agents

Sabre is a fictional terrorist organization introduced to Counter-Strike in Operation Shattered Web. They make use of VOs from the former 'map-based faction' known as the 'Balkans,'[counterstrike.fandom.com] thus indicating they hail from the Balkan States of Southeastern Europe.

The 'Elite Crew' Agents

The "Elite Crew" is a fictional terrorist network of the Arab world. Sunglasses mandatory. (Quotes[counterstrike.fandom.com])

The 'Guerrilla Warfare' Agents [M&F]

The Guerrilla Warfare (GW) outfit is a ragtag cast of bad-faith actors that engage in terroristic behavior; they know no borders, and act on mixed motivations. Initially spawned out from the Middle East, their membership currently demonstrates American, Ugandan, Caribean, and Central American constituents. Whether extracting funds from hostages held in captivity, or waging a war of attrition to meet political ends; the GW actively seeks out new recruits to broaden their domain.

The GW features separate VO's for Male and Female Agents.

GW Agents were added as part of the collection of Operation Riptide Agents (2021).

'Guerrilla Warfare' Male Agents

'Guerrilla Warfare' Female Agents

'The Professionals' Agents [M&F]

Setting themselves well apart from the other Terrorist factions of CS, The Professionals are strictly business orientated; absent are ideological goals. Well-dressed and calculated mercenaries-for-hire.

'The Professionals' feature 3 separate voice actors: The standard American Male VO,[counterstrike.fandom.com] the Female VO, and then the Australian 'Bloody Darryl' VO.

The same VO is used on 'Strapped Bloody Darryl' as is used on the other Master Agent 'Sir Bloody Darryls'.

'The Professionals' Male Agents

'The Professionals' Female Agents

The 'Bloody Darryls'

As previously noted ad nauseam, the only difference between the 'Strapped Bloody Darryl' (as a Superior Agent) and the 5 Master Agent 'Sir Bloody Darryls;' is that Strapped Bloody Darryl lacks the win and loss animations at the end of a match. He was added as part of the set of Riptide Agents (2021), whereas all the other 'Professionals' released with Operation Broken Fang (2020).

The Master Agents [T Side]

Crasswater The Forgotten and 'Medium Rare' Crasswater share the same VO. The other 3 Master T-side Agents feature unique VO's and win/loss animations.
