Operative (power)

This article is about the Mass Effect 2 Infiltrator class power. For Mass Effect specialization, see Operative. For the Mass Effect 3 version, see Operational Mastery.

Operative is a passive power available to the Infiltrator class in Mass Effect 2. As with all of the other class powers, it focuses mainly on increasing the character's health and weapon damage. This power also upgrades the player's power recharge time and gives a slowdown for a short time when aiming sniper rifles. Finally, as with all other class powers for Shepard, it also provides a one-time bonus to Paragon and Renegade points.
