Equipment consists of infiltration gear and explosives other than weapons or armor that operatives can bring on or find during missions. Many pieces of equipment require perks to unlock and most equipment can be stored in an equipment bag.

Gear[]
Gears can be equipped while editing your loadout and they will be brought to every mission. Every piece of gear takes up a certain amount of inventory space and costs a certain amount.

First Aid Kit[]
First aid kits can be used to recover health. They can be used either by holding the correct hotkey (3, 4 or 5) in your inventory or by holding F on a first aid kit on the ground. They recover 50 health at base. The amount of health regeneration can be increased by 
Battlefield Medicine and their usage speed can be increased with Equipment Specialist. They take up 2x1 in the inventory, and cost $100. They can be found in certain missions, usually in storage areas or armories, such as in the The SCRS and Black Dusk. In The Killhouse, they can be found scattered around the map. Steel Cove enemy units may sometimes drop a kit when they die and Halcyon Juggernauts will always drop one upon being killed.
Drill[]
Drills are able to open most doors and perform several objectives. They are slow, take up 2x2 in the inventory and create a noise that alerts NPCs. It breaks doors, preventing the player from closing them. The drilling speed can be increased by the Overdrill perk. Drills are free and can always be found somewhere within most missions. It will give you the Suspicious status.
Silent Drill[]
Silent drills are nearly identical to drills, but they do not make any noise. It can be equipped for free and drills around 33.3% slower than the regular drill (without any Overdrill perks). It will give you the Suspicious status while using it. It can be found at the spawn in The Gala.
With 
Precision Drilling, drilled doors can be closed and opened. However, anyone who sees a drilled open door or interacts with it will be alerted. This makes it unsafe to use on many doors. This also applies to the normal drill.
If the player has a silent and loud drill in their inventory, the game will prioritize the silent drill when drilling.
Frag Grenade[]
Frag grenades are explosive weapons that are thrown and explode after 1.5 seconds. It will alert NPCs when detonated or seen. It takes up 1x1 in the inventory and costs $50.

It may be found in some missions, such as The SCRS and The Blacksite, in their armories.
C4 can serve as a loud alternative for opening nearly all doors, with some needing more than 1 explosive to open (such as the Heavy Security Door in The Lakehouse, the Panic Room Door in The Financier, and the Armored Trucks in The Score). When playing with the Reinforced Doors modifier, most doors will require twice as many explosives to open (exceptions include the Heavy Security Door, which requires 5, and the Server Room Door, which still requires 1, in The Lakehouse).

It's the same speed as a loud drill but does not benefit from any perks. It also still breaks the lock, alerting guards that spot the door. The blowtorch is also capable of making windows in metal doors to watch and shoot through, although guards will be alerted by these windows. It is usable by any class if they have the Firebug perk. It is smaller than the drill, takes up 2x1 in the inventory, and costs $50. Blowtorches can be found in The SCRS and Black Dusk.

When someone with a tracker is knocked out or killed, the tracker is dropped and can be reused. Trackers cannot be placed on NPCs that are currently checking in. You can also place these on SWAT, Rose in The Blacksite, and on First Responders in The Withdrawal.

Regular keycards are blue cards with a white stripe that can be used to open keycard doors. It takes up a 1x1 inventory space. Keycards may be dropped by security guards, but they can also be found in certain missions, such as The Freelancer (Mission) and The Withdrawal. As the difficulty increases there will be less guards with keycards, except for camera operators, who always do or always don't have keycards, depending on the mission. In Concept, this type of keycard is the lowest tier keycard and have the lowest access, as it is commonly dropped by regular guards.
Vault Keycard[]
The vault keycard is a red card with a white stripe that can be used to open the vault in The Deposit, The Gala, The Killhouse, The Auction, Concept, and Black Dusk. It takes up a 1x1 inventory space. The card is found in either a safe or dropped by certain NPCs.

It also breaks doors and will alert any NPC that sees the broken doors. In the Shadow War, the attackers each start with one of these. Strangely, doors in The Deposit and other missions also have crowbar icons on them, despite a crowbar not spawning in the map.
Thermite[]
Thermite can be found in The Deposit, The Lakehouse and Black Dusk and is used to burn through parts of the building. It looks like a jerry can and it takes up 2x3 inventory space. Once you deploy it, it will start burning after a few seconds. Getting close while it is burning will cause massive damage to you as well as NPCs who are near the thermite.

It slows you down slightly once picked up.
Cage Parts[]
The cage parts are a dark orange bag only found in The Withdrawal that is used to construct the cage which holds the money bags. The cage is later picked up by Sparrow during the loud part of the mission. It is a brown bag that slows you down slightly once picked up.
Bomb[]
Eight bombs can be found inside a crate in Black Dusk. In the mission, the purpose of this piece of equipment is for multiple of them to be planted in various areas of the map. Although looking quite alike to the C4 in size, shape, the inventory space that it takes up (which is 2x1), and the inventory icon, the obvious main physical differences between the two are the timer which can be seen on the face of the bomb compared to the C4's blinking light, and the brick red color of the explosive itself. It alerts NPCs that see it.
Diamond Drill[]
The diamond drill is a red bag that is used to set up the drill in The Killhouse and Black Dusk primarily for the loud phase of these missions, but it can still be utilized in stealth if the player chooses to do so. It's very loud though, so it's advised to take out anybody who may notice it if used this way. It can be utilized to open the vaults found on both maps. It slows you down considerably once it is picked up.
Screwdriver[]
Screwdrivers can be found in The Cache, The Scientist, and Black Dusk. In The Cache, it spawns in a random place inside the bank and its only use is opening the electrical panel next to the server room. In The Scientist, you can open a vent leading to Rivera's room and she'll use it to open the door, then you need to use it to open the panel at the control room door. In Black Dusk it can be found in the vents or on tables to open vent covers to access different rooms without needing to open the doors for each section. An example of this is the server room in the development section. It takes up a 2x1 inventory space. It will give you the Suspicious status while using it.
Wire Cutters[]

USB hack time in The Scientist is not affected by 
Speedhack perks.
Propane[]
Propane can only be found in The Scientist and is used when Rivera is dead. Propane can be found around the map. Propane takes up a 2x3 inventory space, and is used for accessing the control room. Once you place down two of them, shooting them will make them explode and open the control room door, while also dealing damage to nearby players and NPCs. Before placing both propane tanks, neither will explode if you shoot them.
Shadow War Equipment[]
Tripwire[]
Tripwires are an item exclusive to the defenders. It is a small device that can be placed on any flat horizontal surface. Tripwires will automatically mark any enemies who cross its invisible laser, as well as emit an audible beeping sound, which makes it very useful, however, it can be destroyed by shooting it.
Shaped Charge[]
Shaped charges are items that can only be equipped and used by the attackers. It is an explosive similar to the C4, but it only damages players on the other side of the wall. This makes it less dangerous to use when breaching the enemy's safe house.
Flash Grenade[]
Flash grenades are an item that can be used to temporarily blind enemies by throwing them close to the enemies. If you use it at the right time and at the right place, it can be very useful against hostile forces. The effects of flash grenades are also able to stack, letting you completely blind enemies if used properly.
Flash grenades also appear in missions, but they are only used by enemies.
Bags[]
Equipment Bag[]
In most missions, each player is given their own equipment bag at the beginning, with the exception being Black Dusk (if you choose stealth) where it will be in a room near the Control Center, along with the bombs required to finish the mission. It is a dark grey/navy bag which has 4x3 inventory space inside it. If your starting gear occupies more space than 2x3, it will be put into your equipment bag at the start of the mission. Like all the other bags, it will get detected by guards and sometimes civilians in specific missions, so it is advised not to leave it in plain sight.
There is a special red version of the bag found in The Deposit at the back of the bank which holds 2 thermite cans.
Body Bag[]
When interacting with a dead or unconscious NPC, an interaction prompt to press F to carry the NPC will appear. When F is held for 5 seconds, the NPC will despawn, and the player will carry a beige-coloured body bag, which looks similar to the equipment bag. The NPC retains the unconscious or dead state after being bagged.
Since body bags are similar to equipment bags, a speed penalty will be granted to whoever is wearing the bag. It is important to note that the speed penalty is significantly higher than that of a standard Equipment bag.
Players can disguise themselves by holding G on a body bag with an unconscious NPC. This only applies if a disguise is available. The body bag cannot be shot to kill the NPC inside. Bags can be dropped off the void, killing the NPC inside the bag. This can be seen in The Financier and The SCRS.
All body bags can be hidden in chests, drawers, cabinets, and dumpsters, found in almost all missions. The only exception to this rule is a body bag containing Ryan Ross, because the mission requires him to either be dead or alive and brought with you if alive. Once hidden, the bag is gone forever, and disguises can no longer be obtained. All hiding places can contain two body bags, except for dumpsters, which can contain four.
Like equipment bags, a body bag will be detected by guards.
