Special Forces Group 3 APK download for Android

What is Special Forces Group 3 (SFG3)?

Looking for a tactical shooter that feels like classic Counter-Strike on your phone? This page covers the Special Forces Group 3 APK download for Android, the third entry in the Special Forces Group series, released after the strong success of Special Forces Group 2. GNVID offers the latest version 1.8 as a free XAPK file.

About Special Forces Group 3 and its gameplay

The game is developed and published by ForgeGames, the Russian studio behind the previous installment, and it is built on the Unity engine. It is free on Google Play with optional in-app purchases.

At first glance SFG3 plays like a mobile reimagining of Counter-Strike. Most maps are based on well-known Counter-Strike layouts, redesigned visually while keeping the same entrances, routes and overall structure, so veterans will recognize where they are almost immediately.

The arsenal follows the same idea, featuring the familiar weapons of the CS series. You can customize guns to improve both their performance and their look. Smooth, adjustable controls help with aim, and upgraded graphics bring sharper environments and more convincing combat effects.

Modes and content

There is plenty to keep you busy:

9 game modes offering different competitive experiences.
40+ maps built for a variety of combat styles.
8v8 matches that reward speed, skill and teamwork.
100+ skins for characters and gear.

Online, you can face players from around the world, join rooms created by others or set up your own private room to play with friends. You can also play with friends over local Wi-Fi without an internet connection.

For fully offline sessions, a standard mode lets you fight bots driven by capable AI, a good way to sharpen your aim and learn the maps.
