Officer Jacques Beltram | Gendarmerie Nationale

Officer Jacques Beltram | Gendarmerie Nationale is a Counter-Terrorist agent — a fixed CS2 character model of a decorated French gendarme and hostage-rescue hero. This page covers Beltram's background, the side and unit he serves, his agent rarity tier, the collection he belongs to, how to get one, and how the model behaves on the market.

Officer Jacques Beltram Background

Beltram is a highly decorated officer who earned the Legion of Honor for swapping places with a hostage and thwarting terrorist activity on more than one occasion. Off the clock he is refreshingly human — a devoted single father and an unapologetic consumer of pain au chocolat at any hour of the day. That mix of quiet heroism and everyday warmth defines him, along with a matter-of-fact sense of duty: "We do what we have to do."

Officer Jacques Beltram Faction and Role

Beltram drops in on the Counter-Terrorist side. His unit is the Gendarmerie Nationale, France's national police force, which fields a set of the game's CT models, so equipping him puts a French gendarme on your Counter-Terrorist roster. His role flavor is the seasoned hostage-rescue officer — the operator who has literally put himself in a captive's place to end a standoff, calm and decisive when lives are on the line.

Officer Jacques Beltram Rarity

Beltram is an Exceptional-tier model, shown in purple. Exceptional is the second step on the agent quality ladder, which runs Distinguished, Exceptional, Superior, then Master at the top. That scale is used only for agents and does not correspond to the weapon or glove rarity system, so this gendarme lands one step above the entry grade among CS2 character models.

Officer Jacques Beltram Collection

This agent belongs to the Operation Riptide Agents set, one of the themed character groups released alongside Operation Riptide. Beltram shipped as part of that operator lineup rather than on his own. Anyone checking which collection or operation Jacques Beltram comes from is looking at Operation Riptide and its agent group.

How to Get Officer Jacques Beltram

Beltram first arrived as an Operation Riptide reward, and copies now change hands through trades and the community market — agents are never unboxed from weapon cases, so there are no drop odds to chase. On Skin.Land the filters do the heavy lifting: set a price range, filter by rarity, and use the Delivery time filter to see only Instant listings or ones that arrive within twelve hours. Each listing also shows how its price compares to the Steam Community Market, so the saving is clear at a glance, and when you check out both credit card and crypto are accepted.

Wear, StatTrak & Souvenir

The Beltram model is fixed: no float or wear grade, no paint seed or pattern index, and no StatTrak or Souvenir edition — none of those mechanics apply to agents. What does change between listings is the patch loadout. Every agent has three patch slots, and patches are separate collectible items, so two copies of this officer can look different depending on which patches the owner has applied. That patch choice is the single per-copy variable worth comparing.

Officer Jacques Beltram Price

As an Exceptional-tier agent, Beltram sits in the mid-range of the character lineup — a step above the most accessible models and below the priciest operators. Since a character is a fixed cosmetic rather than a wear-graded item, its value reads best against other agents rather than in absolute terms. Live listings and current availability are on Skin.Land.

FAQ

Which side is Officer Jacques Beltram on — T or CT?

He is a Counter-Terrorist agent. Beltram serves with the Gendarmerie Nationale, France's national police force, so he fills a CT character slot. Equip him and your Counter-Terrorist model becomes the decorated French gendarme — the hostage-rescue hero who once traded places with a captive to bring a standoff to an end.

What collection is Officer Jacques Beltram from?

He belongs to the Operation Riptide Agents set, released with Operation Riptide. He was one of a whole lineup of operators that shipped together with that Operation rather than a solo drop, which is why you will find him grouped with the other Gendarmerie and CT characters from the same event.

What rarity is Officer Jacques Beltram?

He is an Exceptional-tier agent, the second grade on the agent ladder and marked in purple. That ladder — Distinguished, Exceptional, Superior, Master — belongs only to agents and is separate from the weapon and glove rarity systems. Exceptional places this gendarme one step above the entry tier among CS2 character models.

Does Officer Jacques Beltram have different versions, wears, or StatTrak?

No — the model is a single fixed design, so there is no wear grade, no float, no pattern index, and no StatTrak or Souvenir edition. The one thing that varies between copies is the patch loadout: each agent has three patch slots, so the patches an owner applies are what set one Beltram listing apart from another.

What does Officer Jacques Beltram say?

A line that captures his understated sense of duty is "We do what we have to do." It fits a decorated gendarme who has risked his own life for hostages more than once — a hero who treats extraordinary courage as simply the job in front of him.
