Nuclear Operative: Difference between revisions

* Infiltration by using jetpacks or by [s]teleportation[/s] CRASH AND BURN BABY, STEEL RAIN!

Each operative spawns with a personal Syndicate Uplink radio with 30 Telecrystals pre loaded. STOP! Before you waste your crystals on a balloon, take note of the computer terminals in front of you. Once you insert your Uplink into it these new devices allow for your team leader to assign you additional Telecrystals or for you to donate your own Telecrystals to a common pool for your leader to draw upon. Why would you give away your crystals? Giving your crystals to your team leader will allow him to save up and buy some expensive and powerful goodies, like a [[Syndicate_Items#Dark_Mauler|freaking assault mech]]!

Once your team has bought the items essential to your plan you can now selfishly buy what you will need for the mission, however you need to pause and think hard. What [[Syndicate Items]] will you need? Which will cause a huge backlash if used against your team? Now, think what everyone else will likely need. The problem with the agent ID is the access -- you have very little, but an emag, powersink or stolen high-ranking ID will change that in a moment. You do not have an ID or a position at the station, so don't worry about people finding the emagged doors. Everyone on the team should have one. The chameleon kit is wonderful for sneaking in, especially with some ''proper'' documentation. Bombs are great in the right hands. Energy swords, especially if you make double-bladed eswords, are good for blocking enemy fire - but can be easily turned against you if an assistant gets a lucky disarm in. Syndicate borgs are great tanks, and are even more robust if you have a welder, but are at great risk from ion rifle shots.

* Blood-red Hardsuit with built-in Helmet (These fit inside your backpack and can switch from Travel (spaceworthy) to Combat (No slowdown) mode by clicking the helmet)

* Suspicious Beacons (These are large bombs, don't just take them randomly, usually they are used as part of the plan.)

# Get out of your armor and put on the dark red space suit, if you haven't bought an elite/shielded hardsuit.

# Place your internals on, you can use the jet pack as an oxygen tank, and place the jet pack on your back. # Take the military belt from the locker and move any items you will be taking into it, it will be easier on you if you don't need to carry your backpack onto the station so try and cram everything you can into the belt.

*[[File:Stetchkin.png]] Stetchkin Pistol -- '''Free'''. Standard-issue sidearm. 8 Rounds, 30 brute per shot. This is a poor primary weapon to use due to its low ammo count and slow rate of fire but it can be useful in a pinch. ''Isn't implant-locked like your other firearms!''

* Subvert or destroy the AI first. It can give you away. Syndicate borgs are able to dispose of the AI without it screaming for help over the comms, and a sniper with thermals and penetrator rounds will do the job just as well.

* Ignore the nuke in the vault on the station. It has a completely different code, and without an admin checking the var and giving it to you, it would [s]take you days to guess it[/s] be impossible to activate.

* If going stealth, the regular headsets in the locker room come pre-loaded with a Syndie key. Chameleon headsets don't.

Assault Syndicate cyborgs are purchasable from an uplink by using 80 telecrystals. A random ghost from the spectators with the operative preference enabled will be chosen for this (if none is found, you can refund the teleporter item you get). Syndicate cyborgs are very useful for going loud, as they cannot be stunned the same as Operatives can and have powerful weaponry (plus the means to emag other borgs). Syndicate cyborgs can also tell who other operatives are, regardless of their apparel. In addition, they have an energy cell with a charge of 25000 watts, equivalent to 2 1/2 high-capacity cells. They come with the following modules:

* Set your ID to a crew member. Give it a legit job. Set your fucking ID to a fucking crew member's name and give it an actual job like Chemist or something.
