Covert Ops

Covert Ops is a Fallout 3 perk added in the Operation: Anchorage DLC pack. .

How to obtain
Throughout the Operation: Anchorage simulation you will come across a number of suitcases labelled as "Intel". Activating these will give you a message congratulating you on finding the enclosed intelligence.

There are 10 of these Intel Suitcase in total - most behind 'Easy' and 'Very Easy' locked doors. They are relatively easy to find as the Operation: Anchorage simulation is quite linear. Like all obtainable items in this simulation, you can be aware of the presence of these Intel suitcases by a distinctive electronic noise.

If you manage to find all of these by the end of the simulation, General Chase will congratulate you for finding all of the intelligence.

Intel Locations

 * Shortly after you rejoin Sergeant Montgomery, You can cross a pipe and find a locked door.  (Montgomery will make a comment about crossing the pipe, and how crazy what you're doing is.) The intel is under the desk in that supply room. If you hear Montgomery comment on how he never wants to see another catwalk again, then you've gone too far.  The pipe is a short distance behind you.
 * After Montgomery's comment about how he never wants to see another catwalk again, you should come to a cable bridge. Across that bridge is a locked door in the cliff.  Inside the room is the next piece of intel.  (Again, you'll know that you went too far because Montgomery will make a comment about the objective ahead.  The door should be behind you.)
 * After entering the artillery outpost, climb the set of stairs in front of you. (There should be a guard climbing the stairs when you enter the outpost.)  You'll enter a room with a Chinese assault rifle on a box behind the overturned table.  Head east into the hallway, and after you turn the corner there will be a door to your left (west).  Inside is the next piece of intel. When you hear Montgomery comment about the Chimera tanks, you have gone too far.  Turn around and head south.  The hallway will be on your right (west), and the door should be right before you get to the bend.
 * When Montgomery makes his comment about the Chimera tanks, you'll be on a 'cliff' with the drop to your right (east). You'll soon enter into a room with a door on the west side.  There is a terminal next to the door, and a table next to the terminal with various goodies.  The intel is sitting on the desk in the room behind this door.  If you reach the stairs, you've gone too far.  The door is directly behind you.

Use
The 'Covert Ops' perk increases your level in each skill by 1 point.

Once the simulation is complete, it will appear in your Pip-Boy 3000 with the message: "You've recovered all of the hidden intel from Operation: Anchorage. Good work, soldier!"
