This gear tier list ranks every RECLONE item by survival impact per Token spent. Rankings reflect the current meta after the Gun Update and Gear Update 63, prioritizing Hunter evasion and mission completion over combat and cosmetics. Use these rankings to prioritize pre-run shop purchases when Token budgets are limited.
Complete Gear Rankings
S S-Tier — Must Have
Torch
89 TokensStandard flashlight for navigating dark corridors aboard the NVX-Orion. Essential for spotting objectives, teammates, and hazards in unlit sections of the ship.
Buy every run. Visibility is the foundation of survival on the derelict research vessel.
Track-o-Matic
89 TokensEntity tracking device that reveals nearby threats on your HUD. One of the most valuable tools for anticipating Hunter patrol routes.
Pair with crouch-walking to maintain stealth while knowing exactly where the Hunter is.
A A-Tier — Highly Recommended
Golden Torch
89 TokensPremium cosmetic variant of the standard Torch with golden styling. Same functionality as the base Torch with exclusive visual flair.
Purely cosmetic unless you prefer the golden aesthetic for screenshots or flex value.
Blue Flare
49 TokensThrowable light source that illuminates a wide area temporarily. Useful for marking locations, signaling teammates, or lighting rooms without committing to a fixed beam.
Carry at least one flare for team coordination in multi-floor sectors.
Green Flare
49 TokensAlternative flare color with identical mechanics to the Blue Flare. Green flares help distinguish your markers from other players in squad runs.
Assign flare colors by role so your team knows who placed each marker.
Zoom-Ola
65 TokensTemporary speed boost consumable that lets you sprint away from the Hunter or reach objectives faster during timed windows.
Save for emergency escapes. Sprinting generates noise, so use only when you have a clear path.
Golden Track-o-Matic
89 TokensGolden cosmetic variant of the Track-o-Matic with identical tracking functionality.
Same stats as the standard Track-o-Matic. Choose based on appearance preference.
Golden NF-27 Viper Skin

Blue Neon Bundle
299 TokensPremium bundle including Blue Neon Track-o-Matic, Torch, S.T.C., and Reclone cosmetic variants. A complete neon-themed loadout.

Evaluate your token budget before purchasing alongside mandatory survival gear.
NF-27 Viper
VariesPrimary firearm introduced in the Gun Update. Provides a last-resort defense option against entities, though stealth remains the preferred strategy.
Gunfire attracts the Hunter. Only fire when escape is impossible through stealth alone.
S-Tier �?Must Have Every Run
Track-o-Matic (89 Tokens) and Torch (89 Tokens) form the non-negotiable core of every RECLONE loadout. Track-o-Matic provides entity detection that prevents Hunter ambushes. Torch provides visibility in dark corridors where 90% of RECLONE gameplay occurs. Combined cost: 178 Tokens �?fund these before anything else.
A-Tier �?Highly Recommended
Flares (49 Tokens) enable team coordination through area marking. Zoom-Ola (65 Tokens) provides emergency escape speed. Both are strongly recommended for Beta, Engine, and Crew sectors. Golden cosmetic variants of S-tier and A-tier items also rank A-tier �?same stats, premium appearance.
B-Tier �?Situational
NF-27 Viper and S.T.C. offer combat and tactical options that rarely outperform stealth. Purchase only after S-tier and A-tier items are covered and you have surplus Tokens. Gunfire attracts the Hunter �?these items exist for true emergencies.
C-Tier �?Skip Unless Flexing
Pure cosmetic purchases with no survival function beyond A-tier equivalents. Only buy when your loadout is perfected and Tokens overflow from extensive code redemption and farming.
