007 First Light Gadgets

Function — A scanner overlay that reveals enemies through walls, points of interest, distractions, hackable electronics, and items carried by guards such as keycards and cash.

Field use — Pulse it the moment you enter a new area. It is always equipped, so reading the room — patrol routes, cameras, what each guard is holding — should be your first move before you commit to a route.

Function — Remotely hacks electronics — pulling cameras offline, releasing locked doors, and triggering distractions — and acts as the delivery system for every other gadget Bond carries.

Field use — Your stealth backbone. Hack a camera or a noisy device to peel a guard out of position, then move while his back is turned. A few objectives simply cannot be cleared without it.

Function — Fires a toxin-laced dart that makes a guard feel ill and abandon his post; it also sets up distractions and pickpockets.

Field use — The answer to a guard who simply will not move. Tag him, wait for him to wander off to be sick, then slip past or take him down once he is alone and unprepared.

Function — Deploys a close-range cloud of smoke that breaks line of sight for escapes and stealth movement.

Field use — Hold it for grouped patrols or a stealth run that has gone wrong. Pop smoke, break contact and reset your approach rather than shooting your way out of trouble.

Function — Emits a shockwave that stuns and staggers enemies, damages body armour, and can break or push environmental objects.

Field use — A combat opener and crowd-control tool. Stagger an armoured enemy you cannot drop quietly, or blow apart breakable cover before you push into a room.

Function — A wrist laser that blinds, dazes and disarms enemies and cuts through locks, vents and grates to open alternate routes; it also helps with pickpocketing.

Field use — The most flexible tool in the kit. Cut a lock to skip a guarded route, or daze a target to lift a key item. Worth keeping equipped while hunting collectibles.

Function — A proximity mine that triggers a blinding flash and burst of sound, stunning — and damaging — enemies inside its radius.

Field use — Set it on a doorway or chokepoint you expect to be chased through, then lead pursuers straight into it to buy yourself room.

Function — A pen that launches explosive projectiles to destroy sturdy structures and kill enemies — the heaviest-hitting gadget Q gives you.

Field use — Bring it to missions you expect to turn loud. It deletes clustered enemies and blasts open environmental obstacles that would otherwise force a detour.
