Keys to Cover Operative Deployment

Covert operatives are limited to pistols; pistol tech and Foundry upgrades may be useful.
Covert operatives have a powerful in-mission ability. "EXALT Comm Hack". If you can find an EXALT comm array, you covert operative can hack it, disabling all EXALT forces weapons for a short time.
Heavy soldiers and MEC Troopers are ineligible for covert ops duty.

Notes

With only a Pistol as a weapon, Covert Operatives will depend a lot on their specific class abilities like Low Profile, Sprinter or Lightning Reflexes.
Operatives deploy with no armor (so any damage will require recovery time) and only 1 item slot, but they can be upgraded to 2 item slots if the necessary Foundry upgrade is purchased.
- Armor items such as Nano-Fiber Vests and Chitin Plating can be equipped, but will not provide their bonuses.
Covert Operatives have a powerful in-mission ability. "EXALT Comm Hack". If you can find an EXALT Comm Array, you Covert Operative can hack it, disabling all EXALT forces weapons for 1 turn.
