11 Every Traveler in EXODUS carries the same two pieces of signature equipment: a Recycler, a shapeshifting firearm powered by reclaimed Celestial technology, and a Railclaw, a grappling gauntlet that handles both movement and an ability slot for combat powers. Between them, these two tools shape the silhouette of the player character in every combat and traversal scenario.

33 The Recycler
44  
55 The Recycler is a single physical weapon that transforms between multiple configurations rather than a slot to which Jun bolts different guns. The transformation happens on the fly, so a player in cover can swap from a long-range precision configuration to a close-range spread option in the time it takes to drop a magazine. Configurations confirmed in trailers and community updates so far: The June 2026 extended gameplay showcase named five configurations directly: Repeater for steady mid-range fire, Shredder for close-quarters impact, Piercer for longer-range precision, Bomber for lobbed grenades, and Specter for precision shots taken from stealth. The showcase was explicit that this is not the complete list, calling those five a few of the modes available, so more configurations should be expected before launch.

88 A note on the stealth configuration's name: official material has used Spectre in the April 2026 stealth clip and Specter in the June 2026 extended reveal. Both spellings refer to the same single-shot stealth mode, and this wiki uses Specter as the later of the two. No official source has ever used the name Sharpshooter for a Recycler configuration; the long-range precision role belongs to Piercer.

1212 The Railclaw
1313  
1414 The Railclaw is a grappling-hook gauntlet worn on the Traveler's left arm. Its primary job is traversal: it lets Jun zip up to high ledges, swing across gaps, and reposition rapidly in combat. The developers describe it as "a core piece of a Traveler's toolkit", and the game's level design routinely places vantage points, side corridors, and stealth-friendly perches that are only reachable with it.

1818 Gauntlet abilities (Lance and more)
1919  
2020 The same gauntlet that hosts the Railclaw also has an ability slot for active combat powers. The most thoroughly previewed of these is the Lance, a livestone javelin that the gauntlet hurls for heavy single-target damage. Additional gauntlet abilities are expected to slot in alongside the Lance over the course of the campaign, though the full ability catalog has not been confirmed yet.

2525 Silent takedowns. Close-quarters melee finishers that do not break stealth.Environmental manipulation. Limited interaction with locks, panels, and specific Celestial objects.Ability synergy. Several gauntlet abilities are designed to combo with companion powers in firefights.

2727 Two additional gauntlet abilities have been confirmed by 2026 community updates: Eruption, which shapes livestone into bridges for traversal and launches enemies airborne in combat, and Precognition, a scan-the-environment ability that surfaces landmark history out of combat and marks enemy positions, tripwire mines, and patrol routes during stealth approaches. The Ghost City demonstration also showed a livestone glove melee strike, a hardened-fist finisher in close quarters. The full gauntlet ability set is covered on Gauntlet Abilities.

2929 Why this loadout matters
3030  
3131 The combination of a single shapeshifting weapon and a single gauntlet is a deliberate design choice. It signals that EXODUS is not built around an arsenal of distinct rifles, but around fluency with one configurable weapon and one configurable gauntlet. Players who internalize the Recycler swap and Railclaw movement will spend their time choosing how to engage rather than what to carry.
