In covert operations, operatives use the MP5SD3 (a conventional sub-machine gun) or the Blaster pistol along with Flash Packs and Smoke Grenades.  On purely combat operations, operatives use the Plasma Rifles.  While Black Guard operatives are expected to be able to undertake both kinds of operations, later recruits were often trained solely on the Plasma Rifles, and their skills tend towards purely combat oriented, as opposed to the infiltration skills of the early recruits.

The Black Knight powered armor suit is issued to only a small number of select operatives.  The suit's main weapon is a dual laser rifle mounted on the right arm.  While not as accurate as the plasma rifles issues to Black Guard troopers, it is equally powerful, despite some problems with the power feeds (the Burnout).  The armor is enough to defeat anything short on an anti-tank weapon and gives the operative a fighting chance against those.  The boot jets enable tactical flight, but aren't capable of long-distance runs.  The armor enhances the user's strength, giving him a real advantage in close combat.  The power pack is enough to run the systems for a short action, and can recharge in a few minutes to full operational levels.
