Slingshot | Phoenix

Slingshot | Phoenix is an Exceptional-tier Terrorist agent — a fixed CS2 character model of one of the Phoenix Connexion's deadliest close-quarters fighters. This page covers Slingshot's background, the side and faction he serves, his agent rarity tier, the collection he belongs to, how to get one, and where he sits in value alongside other agents.

Slingshot Background

Slingshot is described as a key piece of the Phoenix Connexion's edge in close-range combat — tightly wound, and capable of doing terrible damage with next to nothing to work with. The nickname came from the day he retook the Phoenix compound armed with little more than an M9 Bayonet and whatever weapons he could scavenge off the fallen. He is the kind of operator who thrives when the odds and the ammo count are both against him, turning scarcity into a fighting style all its own.

Slingshot Faction and Role

This agent deploys on the Terrorist side with the Phoenix Connexion, the ragtag militant outfit that anchors much of CS2's T-side roster. Equipping him swaps the stock attacker model for a lean, aggressive close-quarters specialist, giving your Phoenix loadout a fighter defined by knife-range confidence rather than another anonymous gunman.

Slingshot Rarity

He sits at the Exceptional grade, shown in purple — the second rung on the four-step agent quality ladder that climbs Distinguished, Exceptional, Superior, and Master. That ladder is used for agents alone and is separate from the weapon and glove rarity system, so an Exceptional rating puts Slingshot in the lower-middle band of the agent scale.

Slingshot Collection

He belongs to the Shattered Web Agents, the themed set of characters introduced with Operation Shattered Web — the update that first brought playable agents to Counter-Strike. Slingshot arrived as part of that debut lineup rather than on his own, so the collection and operation behind him are the Shattered Web Agents and Operation Shattered Web.

How to Get Slingshot

Agents like Slingshot began as Operation rewards and now move through trades and the community market, never as a weapon-case unbox — so there are no drop odds involved. Skin.Land is the straightforward option, and its filters do the heavy lifting: sort by price range and rarity, then set the delivery-time filter to Instant when you would rather not wait or up to twelve hours if you are chasing a better deal. Each listing also shows how its price compares to the Steam Community Market, so the saving is visible before you buy. Because agents come with their own patch setups, having the offers laid out side by side lets you pick the exact patch configuration and price that suit you.

Wear, StatTrak & Souvenir

An agent carries none of the weapon-skin variables: no float, no wear grade, no paint seed, and no StatTrak or Souvenir version. The one genuine per-copy difference is patches — every agent has three patch slots — so two copies of Slingshot can look different depending on which patches the owner has applied. The model beneath stays constant, and it is patch choice plus price that separate one listing from the next.

Slingshot Price

As an Exceptional-tier agent, Slingshot sits in the lower-middle of the agent market — above the entry Distinguished models but below the Superior and Master brackets. Since a fixed cosmetic doesn't shift on wear the way a weapon finish does, his value is best read against other agents rather than a set figure. Live listings are on Skin.Land.

FAQ

Which side is Slingshot on — T or CT?

He is a Terrorist agent, part of the Phoenix Connexion. Equipping him fills your T-side character slot with a close-quarters specialist known for retaking the Phoenix compound with barely any gear — a scrappy, aggressive model rather than a generic attacker.

What rarity is Slingshot?

He is an Exceptional-tier agent, shown in purple — the second of the four agent grades, which run Distinguished, Exceptional, Superior, and Master. That scale applies to agents only and is separate from the weapon and glove rarities, so Exceptional places him in the lower-middle of the agent ladder.

How do I get Slingshot?

He comes from the Shattered Web Agents set, added with Operation Shattered Web. Since he isn't tied to a weapon case, there are no drop odds to beat — you buy him off the market. On Skin.Land you can filter by price and rarity and pick a copy with the patch setup you want.

What does Slingshot say?

His signature line sums up the whole character: "If I can knife, I knife." It is a fitting motto for a fighter who earned his name clearing a compound with an M9 Bayonet and scavenged weapons, always ready to close the distance.
