“Just another day in the office for us!”
―FBI
The FBI, is a Counter-Terrorist faction featured in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive & Counter-Strike 2. The unit is based on the real life Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) of the American Federal Bureau of Investigation.[1].
The FBI was added to the Beta in the August 10th 2012 update.
Official Description
In addition to responding to terrorist attacks, the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) responds to bank robbery, espionage and cyber-warfare.
The FBI's Hostage Rescue Team was founded in 1982 and is trained to rescue allies held by hostile force. Their motto is 'Servare Vitas' (To Save Lives).
Appearance
In their original design, FBI CTs are dressed in light green jumpsuits with tan plate carriers, drop-leg holsters and load-bearing equipment, plus a variety of headgear, such as baseball caps, MSA Sordin headsets, ski masks, beanies and ballistic helmets.
The faction design was overhauled in the October 3, 2018 update. In their new design, they wear blue jackets marked with yellow FBI texts, jeans, and a tan plate carrier on top. Most wear caps, some wear shades and ski masks, and all wear headsets.
In both designs, their default gloves are black hard knuckle gloves.
Agents
Special Agent Ava - FBI
Special Agent Ava - FBI is a Master Agent added in Operation Shattered Web.
“Initially underestimated, Special Agent Ava soon became her team's ultimate secret weapon. Despite receiving three out of five possible FBI Honorary Medals, Ava is surprisingly indifferent to her accomplishments. The way she sees it, it's nothing compared to growing up with four older brothers in urban New Jersey. Special Agent Ava takes pleasure from the simple things: clean wins, cold beer, and turning bad guys into thin crust pizza pie. They see me. They're confused. And then they're dead.”
―Official Description
Michael Syfers - FBI Sniper
Michael Syfers - FBI Sniper is a Superior Agent added in Operation Shattered Web.
“An ex-Division I athlete, Syfers was recruited by the FBI after a catastrophic knee injury ended his sports career early. Yet even in adversity he remained positive. It's rare to find someone whose desire to succeed is matched by their desire to do good, but Syfers checks both boxes. Naturally, I finished my reps.”
―Official Description
Markus Delrow - FBI HRT
Markus Delrow - FBI HRT is an Exceptional Agent added in Operation Shattered Web.
“There's no detail too small for Markus Delrow. Equipment, battle plans, oppositional tactics—you name it—and he's already thought of it twice. Being two steps ahead is what he does best, and Delrow takes pride in being the brains of the operation. All that's left is to execute.”
―Official Description
Operator - FBI SWAT
Operator - FBI SWAT is a Distinguished Agent added in Operation Shattered Web.
“Members of the FBI's SWAT team are deployed in high-risk situations. Counterterrorism, hostage rescue, and bomb defusals are a few of the many disciplines FBI SWAT agents specialize in. Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity.”

Trivia
- In an old Global Offensive trailer, an FBI operative can seen on Vertigo, despite the fact that the FBI did not officially appear in that map at the time.
- On the reworked models, the letters "HRTF" is written on the side of the characters' headphones. It is a reference to "Head-related transfer function", a surround sound system added to CS:GO.
- Following the addition of faction to Nuke, the faction was given the voicelines of the SWAT as they lack voice lines for the Bomb Defusal mode.
- In old Counter-Strike: Global Offensive First variant was going to have white cap and third variant .
