007 First Light Gadgets Guide: Q-Lens, Q-Watch & Loadouts
Updated 2026-06-01 · 9 min read
Quick Answer
Every gadget is delivered through the Omega Q-Watch, and you assign only four gadgets before each mission — so loadout choice matters more than anything else. Hold the Q-Lens button and press a gadget button to deploy; each use draws from Battery or Chemical charges. Match your four tools to the level instead of running the same setup every time.
The Q-Watch loadout system
Before a mission you fill four Q-Watch slots. In the field, hold the Q-Lens button and press the assigned gadget button to deploy. Battery and Chemical are separate resource pools, so mixing an electronic tool with a chemical one stretches your total uses further.
Core gadgets
| Gadget | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Q-Lens | Tactical HUD | See enemies through walls, flag hackable electronics, spot keycards and loot. Always-on, not a slot. |
| Q-Watch | Delivery system | Carries your four chosen gadgets; manages Battery and Chemical charges per use. |
| Dart Phone | Stealth | The most versatile stealth tool — quieter and longer range than the watch-mounted dart. |
Loadout tips
- Bring the Dart Phone to any stealth-heavy mission with patrolling guards.
- Pack a hack tool for levels full of electronic locks and terminals.
- Save an EMP/distraction for camera-dense areas and boss approaches.
- Don't over-invest in one resource type — balance Battery and Chemical gadgets.
