Tools are equipable devices (filling a slot like a gun) which allow for unique functions specific to a particular class. Unlike guns or consumables, they have neither ammunition nor a limited supply (excluding the Recon Detect Device and Motion Spotter), but each has a mechanism to limit the continued use and frequency of use of the tool. These reset after a brief period of time when not in use.
The Recon Detection Device's dart pulses every few seconds to momentarily detect the location of fast-moving enemies, including cloaked infiltrators, in a large radius.
The deployed Motion Spotter spots fast-moving enemies within 25 meters on the mini-map for 120 seconds, but nearby enemies can detect its presence. Only one Motion Spotter can be placed per infiltrator at a time.
The Flail Targeting Dart fires a dart projectile that can be targeted by the Flail. The projectiles of each tool is linked to and can only be targeted by the Flail it is pulled from.
The IPC Targeting Dart fires a dart projectile that can be targeted by Glaive IPC, the projectile of each tool is linked to and can only be targeted be the cannon it is pulled from.
Designates a target for the connected OS uplink. For valid acquisition, the target must be no less than 200 meters from the uplink, fall within its current strike range (displayed on the map), and be within visual range of the designator.
