Hey everyone! I’m curious about the Covert Operative perk in terms of sneak attack damage. At rank 3, it supposedly grants a 50% boost to sneak attack damage. My question is: does this bonus apply while I’m in the Hidden state, or does it also work if I’m cautious? Additionally, is that 50% increase legit, or is it more like a minor enhancement? I’m trying to figure out whether I should stick with this perk or switch to the new one that offers a 12% bonus to weak spot damage, or if there’s something else that’s even better.

Yes, the Covert Operative perk works while you’re in both Hidden and Caution states. Just remember that you need to be crouched for it to activate. It’s a solid bonus!
Correct! It activates in Hidden and Caution, but keep in mind that if other players detect you, it won’t trigger. So, it’s a bit situational depending on your surroundings.
I know, right? I didn’t see that part mentioned anywhere either, which makes it tricky.
Awesome, thanks for clarifying! Now I just need to confirm if the 50% damage boost is really as good as it sounds.
