Identity V Wiki

Tools are in-game items that each Survivor carries and can use during matches. These tools can be either exclusive and can only be used by the character who brings them in, or non-exclusive and can be used by any Survivor. Tools will generally have a limited amount of uses, either with a specific number or over a certain amount of durability that decreases over time.

Every Survivor will start each match with a tool.

Tool List[]

Exclusive[]

Exclusive tools can only be used by their associated Survivor. Most items will remain in the Survivor's inventory the entire game, which does not allow them to pick up any other items. Some exclusive tools have depeletable durability, allowing the Survivor to pick up a different tool from a Chest after their durability runs out.

If a Survivor is using their own tool and it has durability, in general the item will not lose durability. For the rates of finding non-exclusive items in chests, check the chest page.
