Lighter — 007 First Light Gadget Guide

A standard cigarette lighter on the official IOI gadget roster. Looks innocuous, plays as a free-cost Lure.

What it does

• Ignites flammable objects (trash cans, gas vents, oil)
• Creates loud distractions — pulls multiple guards off route at once
• Bypasses Watcher immunity — Watchers ignore radio diversions but they respond to fires

Best use

• Drawing patrols out of position without spending Instinct
• Watcher-protected zones where Bluff won’t work
• Setting up oil-barrel slick combos in melee arenas

Resource

Unlimited — no Battery / Chemical cost. The Lighter is one of the few “free” tools in the loadout.

Tips

• Ignite a trash can or gas vent the moment you spot a Watcher patrol — they’ll converge on the fire and clear your path.
• Lighter + spilled oil + a thrown enemy = chain ignition. Combat designer’s playground.
• Use as the “free” Lure when Instinct is low and you need a Bluff or Focus shot in the next room.
