11 The Q-Lens is Bond's always-available reconnaissance overlay in 007 First Light. Activating it with L1 (PS5) reveals enemies, conversation hotspots, hackable devices, environmental kill setups, patrol routes, and pickpocketable items through walls. The Q-Lens consumes a Focus resource that regenerates over time rather than a slot in the three-gadget loadout.

20+Update 1.3.0 (October 1, 2026) repaired two Q-Lens input problems: gadget input rebinding now updates the corresponding Q-Lens icons, and toggling Q-Lens while aiming with a mouse and keyboard no longer resets Bond's aim. These are controls repairs, not a new loadout slot or a change to the device's resource rules. Q Branch Gadgets covers the separate New Game+ gadget-swapping change.
