About[edit]

The Operator has the highest damage per bullet out of all the weapons in the game, making it a force to be reckoned with due to its one-hit-kill nature. It is also the most expensive weapon in the game at 4,700 credits.

The scope has a dual zoom mode: the 5x can focus on holding tight angles, while 2.5x handles better in more open areas.

The weapon has a notably low fire-rate, creating a large window of vulnerability that allow enemies to easily retaliate. It's also necessary to aim down the scope manually after firing each shot, but it's possible to hold the alternate fire button at any moment after firing to aim through the scope as soon as possible, releasing the button at the desired zoom factor.
