Dart Phone — 007 First Light Gadget Guide

A smartphone with a concealed sedative dart launcher. Fires a single dart that incapacitates a target with the longest stun duration of any gadget in the roster. Senior combat designer Tom Marcham confirmed it’s the go-to for “incapacitating harder targets.”

What it actually does

• Sedates a guard for the longest single-target window in the gadget loadout
• Forces stationary guards to abandon posts when they need to move (creates safe routes and pickpocket windows)
• Counts as “non-lethal” for Pacifist challenge runs

Best use

• Isolating a guard from a patrol group before takedown
• Knocking out a key NPC during a setpiece without going lethal
• Cancelling an alert-circle fill on an enemy about to scream for backup

Resource

Chemical pool — recharge at blue-battery stations marked by Q-Lens. Pair with at least one Battery gadget (Laser Strap or a hack option) to avoid bottlenecks.

Tips

• The dart is silent. A clean shot at a guard standing alone in a room rarely alerts anyone else.
• Pair with cover-swap dash — fire from behind cover, dash forward to drag the body.
• On harder difficulties guards revive faster, especially armored guards. Have a takedown queued.
