The Counter-Strike franchise is known for giving its players various methods to customize their skins and loadouts. In the game, “agents” are cosmetic items that change the model and appearance of a player’s in-game character. There are agent skins for Counter-Terrorist and Terrorist agents featuring various looks and voice lines. Sadly, agent skins do not come in for free, and must be obtained by purchasing or trading. In this article, we’ll go over the three methods of how to get agents in CSGO.
Method 1 – Steam Community Market
The first and easiest method to get an agent skin is by purchasing one from the Steam Community Market. The Steam Market is Steam and Valve’s official marketplace platform, so you can buy an agent skin there without any worry of being scammed.
To purchase an agent skin, your account must have funds on your Steam Wallet. After topping up funds and completing the transaction, the agent skin will immediately be sent to your inventory. Using the Steam Market offers a seamless experience, and the process from start to finish should take you less than five minutes.
Method 2 – Third Party Websites
Unfortunately, prices on the Steam Market are always high since sellers are imposed with a 15% transaction fee. If you’re looking to save a few dollars on your purchase, buying agent skins on third party websites is the way to go.
Using third party websites to buy agents is an economic choice, but the transaction and delivery process is slightly longer than the Steam Market experience. After depositing funds to the website, a player or bot will send you a trade offer with the agent skin. Once you have accepted the trade offer, you should be good to go!
Make sure to use reputable and trustworthy CS2 trading websites when buying agent skins. There are many impersonators who might scam you.
Method 3 – Trading
The final method to obtain Counter-Strike agent skins is by trading items with other players. If someone has the agent skin you are looking for, you can bargain and put up items to exchange for it.
You can send this person a trade offer, and they will have the option to accept, decline, or send a counter offer. If a counter offer has been sent to you, you will have the same ability to accept, decline, or send another offer back.
Ensure you are not lowballing this person. Check the market price for the items and agent skins in question and partake in fair trades.
