Optic Cable

The optic cable is a small camera attached to a flexible cable; the gadget is slid under doors to investigate a hallway or room without creating the noise or light caused by opening the door. The optic camera provides a night-vision image. It's certainly wise to use the optic cable when approaching each new closed door. It could be the difference between alerting a guard walking toward the door and avoiding that same guard as he walks away from the door.

Camera Jammer

The camera jammer's name tells it all--use the gadget to temporarily jam enemy security cameras, which permits you to pass by undetected. Your pistol can destroy some cameras in the game, but other cameras are armored and invulnerable to your weapons. Use the camera jammer to bypass armored cameras (though you can simply move by the camera once it pans away from your view). The camera jammer runs on a short-lived battery that recharges over time.

Flares

You'll discover a few flares throughout the game; they're used to distract guards and automated turrets. Naturally there are many other ways to bypass guards. Automated turrets will fire if panning in your direction (if you're visible to the turret). You can avoid the turret without a flare by waiting until the turret pans completely away from your position then moving in the direction away from the turret's line of fire.

Goggles

Sam Fisher's goggles provide two alternate views: night vision and thermal. Night vision is self-explanatory. Switch to night vision in dark areas. You'll shoot out lights often in the game to create the darkness required to hide within, and night vision will help you navigate the dark hallways and rooms. Thermal view detects heat, particularly that of guards. You can use thermal view in darkness, but it's best used in other conditions, such as a misty freezer late in the game. On some occasions you can use thermal view to see enemies through thin walls or flooring. You'll also use the thermal view in the single-player game to detect land mines and heat left on keypads.
