Counter Flame
A free 5v5 tactical mobile shooter in the Counter-Strike mold — bomb defusal rounds, ranked duels, a skins market and a battle pass, running on Android and iOS.
counterflame.com or its Telegram for the APK
Counter Flame is not on Google Play in most regions — the official APK is distributed through the developer's own site and Telegram channel. That makes fake-APK sites the main thing to watch out for.
Installing it safely
- 1Use the official source only
Get the current build from counterflame.com or the pinned link in the official CounterFlame Telegram channel (@counterflame). Third-party "APK latest version" sites routinely repack with adware.
- 2Expect a big file
The APK is around 1.7 GB and needs Android 8.0 or newer — clear space before downloading.
- 3"Package invalid" error?
Fully uninstall the old version first, then install the new APK clean — leftover files from an older build are the usual cause.
What's in the game
Think mobile CS: economy-free rounds, objective modes and a cosmetics economy on top.
Bomb Defusal
The signature 5v5 mode — attackers plant, defenders retake. Map knowledge decides rounds.
Deathmatch & Arms Race
Warm-up modes: respawn fights and a weapon-progression ladder.
Duels & Ranked
1v1 duels plus a ranked ladder to climb — team championship tables are tracked.
Battle Royale
Last-player-standing mode on its own map rotation.
Skins market
Buy, sell and trade weapon skins in-game; collections include StatTrack items and pattern floats.
Arsenal Pass & cases
Season-style pass with rewards plus case openings for rare skins and medals.
Worth knowing first
- 1It plays like CS, not COD Mobile
Weapons are locked once a round starts, movement has bunny-hop depth, and rounds reward holds and trades over run-and-gun.
- 2Anti-cheat is enforced
The game ships with its own anti-cheat that penalizes injected tools — don't test it.
- 3Tune controls early
Layout, sensitivity, gyroscope and graphics quality are all configurable — spending five minutes in settings noticeably improves aim on touch screens.
- 4Promo codes exist
The official Telegram publishes promo codes alongside patch notes — worth joining even if you never read the chat.
