John 'Van Healen' Kask | SWAT

John 'Van Healen' Kask | SWAT is an exceptional-rank agent on the counter-terrorist side, part of the Broken Fang Agents set. By price he sits closer to the bottom third of the order: sixteenth out of twenty.

What the John 'Van Healen' Kask | SWAT looks like

He is a fighter in a dark blue helmet with a mount for gear, a headset with a microphone and glasses with greenish lenses. A gray scarf covers his neck, and he has a mustache.

The blue body armor carries a white MEDIC plate, the shoulder has a patch with a white cross, and the armband reads MEDIC in red. The model reads as a medic, with white, red and blue giving clear accents.

Where the John 'Van Healen' Kask | SWAT came from

The agent was released on December 3, 2020: the Broken Fang Agents set came out together with Operation Broken Fang.

According to Valve, Kask is one of the best tactical operators in SWAT and a combat medic in the field. He also plays guitar, sometimes in the middle of a mission. In his words, music gets his teammates' blood pumping as well as the defibrillator he keeps ready.

What the agent does in game

The model works for one side only, the counter-terrorists. It changes nothing about damage, accuracy or hitbox size.

One model, one look: the agent has no different versions.

Which gloves go with it

The agent provides the sleeves, and gloves go over the hands on top of them. Kask's sleeves are dark blue, and the armband is a noticeable red.

Gloves without a large pattern in cold gray-blue or black tones look good, since they carry on the palette of the uniform. Bright red gloves would echo the armband but pull attention to themselves. Light beige gloves clash with the blue.

What the John 'Van Healen' Kask | SWAT costs

Among the twenty agents of the Broken Fang Agents set, he ranks sixteenth. 'Blueberries' Buckshot | NSWC SEAL costs about a quarter more, while Bio-Haz Specialist | SWAT and Chem-Haz Specialist | SWAT are only a few percent above him.

Closest below is 1st Lieutenant Farlow | SWAT, about a sixth cheaper. Dragomir | Sabre Footsoldier and 'Two Times' McCoy | TACP Cavalry are about a quarter lower.

Who it suits

Buying this agent for CS2 makes sense because:

• you want a counter-terrorist medic with noticeable white and red lettering;


• you are collecting the Broken Fang Agents set and need agents from the bottom third of the order;


• you play on the counter-terrorist side, and the blue uniform should go with cold-toned gloves.
