Operatives have access to a multitude of stats in Entry Point, which affect their combat strength, stealth ability, and speed among other things. These can be increased using Perks.
Health[]
All operatives will start with 100 health, which is represented by a green bar in the player's HUD. Vitality perks will increase this by 5 points each, up to 100 points if all 20 Vitality perks are used. Additionally, the Mercenary's 
Combat Mastery starting perk grants 40 points of health, allowing for a maximum of 240 health if every health perk is used.
As an operative starts to lose health, their screen will lose color, sounds become muffled, and their heartbeat will become increasingly audible. They can recover lost health by using first aid kits, which recover 50 health. This can be increased by 10 points using Battlefield Medicine perks up to five times, allowing for first aid kits to restore 100 health. When an operative's health is depleted, they will die and their heartbeat will fade.
Stamina[]
Stamina is used for moving faster by sprinting and is represented by a white bar in the player's HUD. By default, operatives will be able to sprint nonstop for a full 10 seconds without any perks or bag, which increase the movement speed to 22. 
Conditioning perks will add 2 seconds to the total sprint time up to ten times. The Mercenary's Combat Mastery perk grants 4 seconds of sprint time, allowing for a maximum of 34 seconds of sprinting. After a 3 second delay, stamina recovers at a rate of 100% over 10 seconds, though this can be shortened to a quicker 6.66 seconds with the Combat Mastery perk.
Stamina consumption is increased when carrying a bag. Carrying a heavy bag like a Diamond Drill, Body bag, Gold bag or a Server bag will increase the stamina drain to 225%, while carrying any other bag will increase it to 150%.
In Shadow War, stamina is significantly harder to maintain; operatives can only sprint for 5 seconds at best, and take 20 seconds to completely recover their stamina. Jumping decreases stamina by a bit over 15% per jump, making it possible for 5 jumps per full bar of stamina.
Armor[]
Armor is used to protect operatives from sustained weapons fire during skirmishes with multiple waves of enemies. The durability of armor is represented by a blue bar in the player's HUD. If their durability drops below 50% its protection will decrease until it is broken. Some perks can be used to improve the effectiveness of armor.
- The Engineer's
Demolitions Expert perk reduces speed penalties from armor by 40%. - Shock Plating is a minor perk that increases the durability of armor by 10% each. They do not improve on damage reduction, they only make it last longer.
Speed[]
Completing objectives will mean that operatives will have to move around and interact with numerous items to progress. Wearing certain equipment can cause you to move around slower, though some perks can reduce the movement penalties of certain gear. Other perks can also speed up certain interactions.
Movement Speed[]
The player's movement speed is affected by various things, such as what armor they're wearing, what bag or weapon's their carrying, and whether they're sprinting, crouching, or crawling. Below is a table of the movement speed percentages of everything which affects the player's movement. Also, as mentioned above, certain perks can reduce the movement penalties of certain gear. The 
Demolitions Expert perk reduces the movement penalty of armor by 40%, and the 
Heavy Weapons Mastery perk sets the movement speed percentage of heavy weapons to 90%. The movement speed percentages of these items with their corresponding perk is represented by a green number.
Movement modifiers stack multiplicatively. This means that, for example, if you have no perks and are sprinting with Frontline armor, a light bag, and no weapon, you will move at 17.82 speed (22 × 0.9 × 0.9).
| Weapon | Speed | Armor | Speed | Action | Speed | Bag | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pistols | 100% | II-A Scout | 95% 97% |
Sprinting | 22 | Light Bag | 90% |
| SMGs | 95% | III-A Raider | 95% 97% |
Walking | 14 | Heavy Bag | 75% |
| Rifles, Sniper Rifles, and Shotguns | 90% | III-A Frontline | 90% 94% |
Crouching | 8 | ||
| Thumper | 85% 90% |
III Aegis | 83% 89.8% |
Crawling | 4 | ||
| Sawblade | 70% 90% |

Awareness[]
Detection[]
The 
Out of Sight perk makes an operative harder to detect by decreasing the rate at which NPCs detect them while they have a red status, or the trespassing status (but not the armored status). It lowers detection by 10% each, up to a maximum of 200%.

Masquerade perk makes it harder for NPCs to detect a disguised operative, whether they're doing something conspicuous or not. It lowers detection by 10% each, up to 50%. 
The Art of the Steal adds an additional 50% disguise effectiveness. Disguise effectiveness also affects the armored status.
Intimidation[]
NPCs can be taken hostage at greater ranges by use of 
Intimidation perks, which increase an operative's natural intimidation range by 10%, up to a maximum of 100%. Additionally, this also increases the speed at which an NPC is interrogated. The 
Shotgun Mastery perk is meant to increase intimidation range by 50% with shotguns, but it is currently broken.
Ammunition[]
Deep Pockets increase reserve ammo by 5% each, up to a maximum of 100%. 
Hidden Reserves grants access to the Concealed Ammo Vest, which increases reserve ammo by an additional 50% when equipped.
Damage[]

Each weapon class also has three training perks that increase the damage of that specific weapon type by 10% each, up to three times for +30%. Adding a suppressor to a weapon increases its damage by +5%, this is applied separately from perks. The highest damage increase for a weapon is +141.5% by combining all damage perks with a suppressor.
