Operator Cards

Each card lists the Operator's role, weapon (Hit dice for each range category, shown as yellow, orange or red dice, with a lightning symbol where printed), Run value, Destroy icon, Stamina (the vest icon with its number), and gadget ability. The weapon range categories follow the base game: 1–3 spaces (short), 4–6 spaces (medium), 7+ spaces (long).

Card Notes

• The Hit dice colours and lightning symbol are the same as in the base game (see the base rulebook's Operator profile section). Yellow, orange and red dice are the three colours of Hit die.
• Located, Stunned, Rubble, Hologram, Argus camera, Banshee token and heavy wall are referred to on these cards. Where the base rulebook does not define a term, the card's wording is the only rule given here.
• Legibility: the cards were read from photographs taken at roughly card resolution. Card text is legible. Icon colours, including Hit die colours and Destroy icon colours, were read from the photographs and are the best available reading; they should be checked against a physical card where possible. Destroy icons are given by shape and colour only, as printed; their strength tiers are not spelled out on the cards.
• Coverage: the photographs show all six Year 5 Operators (three Attackers and three Defenders). No other Year 5 Operator card or rules sheet was found in the sources located.
