Rations - It looks like a canteen thingy. If you run out of Life while this is equipped, rather than dying, you'll lose one and your life bar refills. You can carry a maximum of two at the start of the game. "Keep one handy." To use one without losing all your life, press B in the Menu.
Gas Mask - Equip this to prevent losing life in zones with poisonous gas (you'll know by the odd coloring and waviness) . While in use, an oxygen meter will appear. When the oxygen meter is out, the gas mask is useless, so hurry through gas zones.
Fogger(Cigarretes) - When this is equipped, little animated puffs of smoke rise from your character. Basically acts as a pack of cigarettes. When this is equipped you can see lasers.
Key Card - The keycard comes in several levels of access, the higher the better. Used to open certain doors.
Mine Detector - When equipped, mines will be displayed on the radar as enemies.
Thermal Goggles - It changes the pallete to redscale, with enemies displayed in white. Works in the dark, but if its exposed to a flash, it will be inoperative for a short period.
Night Visions - Enables sight in the dark, complete with color. Disabled if exposed to light flashes.
Cardboard Boxes - Comes in three colours: red(R), blue(B) and yellow(Y). Useful for hiding from cameras and traveling over conveyer belts.
