Operative is an Archetype in Rogue Trader. The Operative archetype is among the four initial Archetypes accessible from Level 1. Operative excels in debuffing enemies, buffing allies, and performing effectively in long-range combat. Key characteristics include Intelligence, Perception, Weapon Skill, and Ballistic Skill For debuffing, prioritize Intelligence, while a more balanced approach or emphasis on damage may require a mix, with a potential focus on Perception. 

 

An Operative uses Intelligence and Perception to find and exploit weaknesses in an enemy's defences. None can withstand an attack from an Operative. 

Core focus: precise single attacks, defence penetration, area debuffs, consistent firing position.
