Operatives can also disguise themselves as enemies by engaging the ''Disguise'' function when near a downed opponent, even if the [[body type]] is different. This means your actions are a big part of how enemies know who is friend and who is foe. Note: there is friendly fire, so there is no TF2, "spy checking." According to SD, operatives can see enemy ones, though it is not confirmed how this works. It's possible that they assume that operatives are rarely close to base. Operatives also have the ability to place timed sticky grenades directly onto enemy combatants which, if not defused within an allotted time by another operative, will explode, resulting in instant death for the affected character.

The operative is a Class featured in BRINK. Operatives are used primarily to infiltrate, interrogate, and sabotage the enemy team.
Playing as an Operative
Hack enemy defences, Command Posts and turrets, provide battlefield intelligence, and sneak behind enemy lines.
The Bug Security Archetype which could be used as a possible build for an operative
Hacking may be done short or long ranged, but the closer you are the faster the object is hacked. This must be done by connecting to the terminal you intend to hack, i.e. getting in close contact. While you are hacking, you emit a beeping sound, and if you are interrupted, you have to start over and reconnect at the terminal, whether for turret or command post. If turrets are hacked, the operative can shoot with it in first person view. Operatives can interrogate Incapacitated enemies (they cannot be dead), thus giving his team a radar for 10 seconds, giving off the position of operatives. With other abilities the operative can give team mates additional time for a radar, or wall hacks with the radar, so operatives can see players through walls. This is most likely done by colored silhouettes.

This means your actions are a big part of how enemies know who is friend and who is foe. Note: there is friendly fire, so there is no TF2, "spy checking." According to SD, operatives can see enemy ones, though it is not confirmed how this works. It's possible that they assume that operatives are rarely close to base. Operatives also have the ability to place timed sticky grenades directly onto enemy combatants which, if not defused within an allotted time by another operative, will explode, resulting in instant death for the affected character. An operative can also see land mines placed by engineers
