Overview

The Balkans are a Terrorist faction featured in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

In-game

Judging by the style of clothing, this faction seems to consists of war veterans or even criminals with urban style outfit. Several of them wear winter hats and they are all seen in thick brown jackets, suggesting that they hail from a cold region (most likely the Balkans). Their hand model features a thick brown jacket with a red sleeve poking out the end with black cloth gloves.
