Operation Riptide Agents

These agents are part of the Operation Riptide cosmetic rollout and are grouped under the Operation Riptide Agents collection. The set pulls characters from multiple in-game factions and event drops tied to that operation cycle, making it a distinct release from regular weapon skin collections.

Design language centers on faction identity: Gendarmerie Nationale agents wear formal police-style uniforms, SEAL Frogman entries feature maritime/special-forces gear, and Guerrilla Warfare skins favor rugged, improvised clothing. Many agents include unique headgear, insignia and props that signal their backstory rather than bright pattern work used on weapon skins.

Named pieces such as Chef d'Escadron Rouchard | Gendarmerie Nationale and Cmdr. Davida 'Goggles' Fernandez | SEAL Frogman stand out for their detailed faction motifs. Characters like Crasswater The Forgotten and the 'Medium Rare' Crasswater variants catch collector interest for their unusual names, while Bloody Darryl The Strapped | The Professionals and Lieutenant 'Tree Hugger' Farlow | SWAT provide strong thematic contrast within the set.

Agents are treated as special cosmetics within an Operation collection and are generally positioned among the rarer item types for that release. Rarity and perceived value vary by the individual agent name, faction, and how many examples are available on the market; check each item page for its market listing and availability.

These agents were distributed through Operation Riptide–related channels and may appear in operation drops, promotional bundles or specific capsules. Outside of operation distribution, agents are traded and sold on the Steam Community Market and third-party marketplaces, so the most reliable way to see live availability and price is the item's market page.

Collectors often assemble faction runs—for example, full Gendarmerie Nationale or Guerrilla Warfare groups—to create themed profiles or displays. Trading interest depends on rarity, name recognition and current market availability; unique or well-named agents like Vypa Sista of the Revolution or Col. Mangos Dabisi often attract attention from collectors.

Compare screenshots and inspect listings before purchasing to confirm the exact agent name and faction, since many appear visually similar at a glance. Use each item's market page for live pricing and history, prioritize pieces that complete a faction set if that’s your goal, and verify seller reputation on third-party platforms when buying outside Steam.
