Confirmed Gadgets

The official 007 First Light site currently lists several Q-Branch-style tools: Q-Watch, Phone, Earphones, Lighter, and Pen. That is enough to build a useful pre-release gadget guide, but not enough to write upgrade trees, exact puzzle solutions, or cooldown values. Treat each gadget as a role until launch confirms mechanics.
This is a pre-release guide. It uses official 007 First Light materials, Steam data, and trailer-observed details. Mission solutions, collectible routes, upgrade values, and final difficulty advice need hands-on verification after launch.
Gadget Role Table

| Gadget | Likely guide role | Verification status |
|---|---|---|
| Q-Watch | Intel, status, scanning, or mission interface | Official |
| Phone | Communication, photos, remote interaction, or intel | Official |
| Earphones | Audio monitoring or mission communication | Official |
| Lighter | Distraction, ignition, or Bond-style utility | Official |
| Pen | Classic spy gadget utility, exact use unverified | Official |
How to Use Gadgets Safely

Use tools before escalation. In a spycraft game, gadgets often reveal options that are invisible if you rush forward. Check new rooms with information tools, listen for objective cues, and look for environmental prompts. If a gadget has limited charges or a cooldown, treat it as a route resource.
Gadgets should also be tested for stealth value. A tool that creates a distraction may be more valuable than a weapon if it avoids alarms. A scanning tool may be more important than damage if it reveals a non-combat route.
Launch Verification

After launch, this guide should add exact tutorial unlock timing, input controls, upgrade requirements, mission-specific uses, optional uses, and whether gadgets affect mission scores. Do not assume classic Bond gadget behavior until the live build confirms it.
