D Squadron Officer | NZSAS

D Squadron Officer | NZSAS is a Distinguished Counter-Terrorist agent from the Operation Riptide Agents set. By price it is second of twenty-one, with only one agent above it.

What the D Squadron Officer | NZSAS looks like

The face is hidden under a black gas mask with large orange-red lenses, and an olive filter shows at the sides. The helmet is wrapped in sand-olive cloth with small tabs on top.

The load-bearing vest is olive, a knife handle sticks out at the chest, and the sleeves are dark camouflage. A patch with the New Zealand flag is on the shoulder. The red lenses are the only bright accent on the matte uniform.

Where the D Squadron Officer | NZSAS came from

The agent appeared on September 22, 2021 in the Operation Riptide Agents set, together with Operation Riptide.

Valve's description is extremely short. SAS officers spend years honing infiltration, hostage rescue and missions the text calls only "classified." At the end comes the squadron's motto: who dares wins.

What the agent does in game

The agent has one side, and in game he shows only on the Counter-Terrorist team. The model is purely visual in CS2: damage, accuracy and hitboxes do not depend on it.

All agents of this model look the same, with no differences between copies.

Which gloves go with it

Gloves go over the hands while the sleeve stays with the agent, so the pair is noticeable. The uniform here is matte olive-gray, with no bright spots apart from the lenses.

Gloves in earthy shades, olive, khaki or brown, will work. Dark gloves without a large pattern look neatest. A bright multicolor pattern pulls attention from the model to the hands.

What the D Squadron Officer | NZSAS costs

Among the twenty-one agents of the Operation Riptide Agents set, he holds second place. Only Primeiro Tenente | Brazilian 1st Battalion is above, a few percent higher.

The gap to the lower neighbors is large. The two SEAL Frogman agents, Cmdr. Davida 'Goggles' Fernandez and Cmdr. Frank 'Wet Sox' Baroud, are cheaper by almost half, and Vypa Sista of the Revolution | Guerrilla Warfare is a little lower still.

Who it suits

Buying this agent for CS2 makes sense when:

• you want an agent with a covered face and red lenses that stands apart from other Counter-Terrorists;


• you are collecting the top of the Operation Riptide Agents set;


• you play Counter-Terrorists and want the olive uniform to go with grayish camouflage.
