Agent EX Class[edit | edit source]
Agent EX is one of the game's Stealth-aligned classes, specializing in circumventing Security Devices, quieting footsteps, distracting Guards, disabling body timers, and more. They also have a suite of Talents for dealing with Drones and have a special penchant for wielding two SMGs at the same time. Note that "Dual SMG" refers to wielding an SMG in both weapon slots but does not always imply using both at the same time.
Agent EX is a slightly more complex mirror to the Vanguard, and also has access to several unique combat Talents, allowing a high-level Agent EX to be fit for any twist and turn a Mission may throw.
Trivia:
The original AgentEX was a player character created by a friend of Trese Brothers for their mutual tabletop RPG campaigns in the 1990s. He was the ex-executioner for the king, sent away because he was too public of a symbol of how the king had come to power. He was a maniac, he had a name but he insisted on everyone calling him "Agent EX" and he refused to wear armor because it was not very stylish.
A little while later, as Trese Brothers were building out the nano-hive classes for their own cyberpunk home-brew TTRPG, Agent EX was floated and universally loved as the class name. That class inspired the Agent Extreme character class in the Cyber Knights Classic game, which in turn inspired the Agent Ex character class in Cyber Knights: Flashpoint.
