The CamSpy is a small stealth-spying device, which appeared in Perfect Dark. It only appeared in dataDyne Investigation and G5 Building missions.

Its main purpose is to record audio and video evidence, but it can also be used to distract and lure enemies, though they will shoot at it after a while.

There are also variations of this device called the DrugSpy and the BombSpy.

In-Game DescriptionsEdit

CamSpyEdit

Using the smallest application yet of anti-grav technology this is the ultimate snooping device. It has a video/audio link with a recording functional and an onboard facility for spectroscopic holography.

DrugSpyEdit

The DrugSpy is a version of CamSpy which carries 8 rounds similar to the Tranquilizer's, but will knock out any unshielded enemy in a single hit, regardless of health modifiers. It only appears in the Air Base mission. The DrugSpy is used to incapacitate enemies while your player steals a stewardess uniform.

The DrugSpy has similar manouverability and visibility characteristics as the CamSpy.

BombSpyEdit

In this version of the CamSpy the recording device has been replaced by a highly powerful plastic explosive.

It appears in the Chicago and Mr. Blonde's Revenge missions.

The BombSpy is, obviously, a single-use device, as it is consumed in the explosion. Therefore it is critical to ensure that as many targets as possible are included in the blast.

However, of course, you can affix a mine (preferably not the Proximity type!) to any of the three versions as a crude DIY BombSpy.

UsesEdit

The CamSpy and variants are all useful as reconnaissance devices, allowing the player to check around corners and in dangerous places.

Enemy units are slow to detect the CamSpy, and, upon detection, will attempt to disable it with gunfire. It is possible, through evasive flying, to lure enemies after the CamSpy into a tactically advantageous position. This is especially useful with the BombSpy, as following enemies will helpfully clump together, allowing the single detonation of the BombSpy to eliminate them all.
