You'll get access to it early on, so don't skip on using it. Sensors, turrets and security doors can be disabled, opened, and generally interfered with using this handy bit of kit. The Hackamajig lets you hack electronic devices. Some Visionaries will only appear at night in particular districts, for example, so learn as much as you can in each cycle.

Revisiting areas at different types of days will reveal more secrets and opportunities. Knowledge will stay with you after you properly die-in the sense that it'll be physically logged, but also if you're an avid note-taker, like me- but weapons and gear will be dropped and you'll need to go again to gather it back up. Enemy bodies will also linger for a few seconds before disintegrating, but they'll leave behind noteworthy loot such as weapons or trinkets.

This means that if you're after a specific target or weapon you'll have a second and even third chance before permadeath hits you and you lose all your gear. If you're killed, you'll have two chances to go a few seconds back in time and remain invisible for a moment.

You can also throw bottles to distract enemies, and listening in on conversations can reveal hidden details that can prove useful. Focus on enemies and watch their movement pattern to ensure you pull off a silent takedown and that no one spots you or their body before it disappears. It's worth keeping an eye out for weapons with suppressor intrinsic perks as those will work for stealth attacks, too. Okay, so dual-wielding SMGs isn't for you-did you know you can stealthily make your way through missions? You move silently while crouching and can take down enemies from behind by either snapping their necks, using a melee weapon or the nail gun for long-ranged stealth fun. You can visit the Arsenal Leads menu to try and discover specific equipment. Visionaries-essentially your notable enemies-drop slabs, so they're worth collecting. Slabs grant you abilities, such as Colt's Reprisal, which is effectively a respawn function. Trinkets glow a rainbow-like colour and you can equip them before heading out. You can also equip character trinkets to give Colt and Julianna's abilities a boost, like the double jump you'll pick up at the start.

Trinkets can be added to weapons to improve certain aspects, such as reload speeds and recoil. The higher the quality the more trinkets you can attach, too, letting you build a deadly loadout. Purple and Gold gear is where it's at and often comes with unique abilities and perks. Grey and Turquoise gear is your basic lot, with Grey being far more prone to jamming. Guns differ in rarity and are colour coded, and the best guns are usually hidden off the beaten track or drop from challenging enemies.
