SWTOR Operative Pros and Cons Guide

The Operative. A stealthy and camouflaged specialist within the SWTOR Imperial Agent class. The Operative at the start of the game can use swords and daggers, all for short ranged, close combat situations. This can be achieved from the skill tree “Concealment”. By advancing through this skill tree, players are able to gain more stealth abilities to use.

Yet, the Operative’s range is close to mid-range (rifles). This class does not have the access to the strongest weapons. They may have guns and rifles but in actuality, their Medic skill is more advantageous in a prolonged battle.

However, if Operatives are used wisely and without fault, players can comfortably continuously use this class without any hassle.

The game includes 8 different classes of playable characters, including the Operative.

The SWTOR Operative Guide gives plenty of background information on this particular class, revealing that the Empire does not attempt to rule the galaxy solely through the dark side of the Force. Their Machiavellian machinations employ unseen schemes and operations carried out by Imperial Intelligence agents. These agents track and locate enemies of the Empire, from obstinate senators to Republic rebels and carry out Imperial commands, which are usually the elimination of their opponents.

To this end, the best Imperial Agents develop a mastery of the arts of infiltration, manipulation and assassination achieve glory for the Empire. Those who manage to stand out from other intelligence agents become known as operatives. This specialization denotes one who has become an expert in several disciplines in order to more easily adapt to any environment and carry out Imperial commands.
