While in stealth, the Trip Laser can be placed in areas that NPCs frequent. This allows for the ability to see when guards or civilians may enter and leave a given area. Additionally, the Trip Laser can be placed on the Lead Guard in order to keep them marked throughout the entire heist, especially since the Trip Laser has no limit on the amount of enemies that can be marked.

Using the Specialist Frame allows for the ability to carry a total of 2 Trip Lasers.

Bounty Hunter allows for the ability to replenish tools. With its Basic version restoring 1 Trip Laser and its Aced version restoring 2 Trip Lasers.
