== Rock Raiders Equipment ==
Among the vehicles, the Rock Raiders have a plethora of tools and equipment. Only the significant tools will be listed here, the minor tools that are included with sets and featured in the PC game will not be listed here.
=== Action Stations ===
Action Stations is Rock Raiders HQ alert system. When activated the entire base glows red and alarms sound. All the armed Rock Raiders go on red alert, looking out for hostile alien life. As a precaution, Action Stations is automatically activated when a building is damaged, be it by alien, equipment or environment.
=== Construction Barriers ===
Construction Barriers are used by Rock Raiders who are preparing an area for a building to be teleported down. Rock Raiders collect them from the Tool Store autonomously, and pick them up if they have been left lying around.
Construction Barrier resemble typical barriers, with black and yellow stripes and flashing lights at both ends.
=== Dynamite ===
An explosive material that Rock Raiders can fetch from the Tool Store. It is not shown in the inventory, but Rock Raiders can be seen carrying it to the selected wall. Dynamite can knock down dirt, loose and hard rock in one go. It does work on seams but only once, and the wall is not demolished. Dynamite can do damage to vehicles, Rock Raiders, buildings and monsters alike. Solid Rock walls are unaffected by Dynamite, as is everything else the Rock Raiders use.
=== Electric Fences ===
Electric Fences can be considered a tool, weapon or building. Rock Raiders place Electric Fences around the perimeter of Rock Raiders HQ, any monsters that walk into them are disintegrated. They are ineffective against Slimy Slugs.
=== Beam Gun ===
The Beam Gun is a defensive tool used by the Rock Raiders to protect themselves from the monsters. Using PowerCells, which are only seen in the PlayStation game and are mentioned in the books, it can have numerous functions.
==== Blue PowerCell ====
The Blue PowerCell gives the Beam Gun an ice function. The freezer beam is the most effective weapon against Lava Monsters, though, not surprisingly, it is ineffective against Ice Monsters. When an enemy is shot with an ice beam, they are frozen solid for several minutes. In the PlayStation game, the freezer beam blast circles around the Rock Raider, rather than firing straight, creating a sort of "ice shield".
==== Yellow PowerCell ====
The Yellow PowerCell gives the Beam Gun the ability to push objects away. They are mostly used as a tool for the Rock Raiders, rather than a weapon like the other PowerCells. They can be used against the monsters, but it has barely any effect.
Interestingly, in the PlayStation game the Pusher Beam can stun and shrink creatures, as well as push them away. They are even used against Rock Whales to make them move in whatever direction they are facing.
==== Green PowerCell ====
The Green PowerCell gives the Beam Gun a laserbeam function. The laserbeam is the most effective weapon against the Rock and Ice Monsters, destroying them in one shot. It is effective against Lava Monsters, but not as much.
=== GeoScanner ===
The GeoScanner, or GeoLocater as it is occasionally called, is one of the most important tools for the Rock Raiders, it is used primarily by Geologists. The GeoScanner can detect minerals, examine the density of rock, and even see what’s beyond a rock wall. There are three known types of GeoScanners.
* Hand-Held – Seen in ''Race for Survival'' and ''An Interactive Puzzle Storybook''.
* Radar Uplink – Seen in the PC game, several carried by Geologists and one at the Geological Center.
* LMS ''Explorer'' – Seen in the PlayStation game and ''High Adventure Deep Underground''. Due to the way this one functions (Showing the landscape from a high-altitude and scanning the nearby rock), it was assumed to be aboard the LMS ''Explorer''. This was proven in ''High Adventure Deep Underground''.
=== Jetpack ===
Axle, Bandit, Docs, Jet and Sparks have a jetpack fitted onto their uniforms, allowing them to jump over large lakes of water,acid,and lava and help escape danger from the aliens. When used, a red light is seen. Jet had her jetpack modified to jump twice as high as the others’.
The jetpacks only appear in the PlayStation game.
=== Personal Energy Shield ===
Every Rock Raider and vehicle is equipped with a personal energy shield, to protect them from the dangers of Planet U. If a shield’s power supply is depleted one of two things must be done; Locate Shield Recharge orbs or immediately teleport the Rock Raider to the LMS ''Explorer''. Docs had his shield modified to recharge while using his drill, it is unknown how this works though.
=== Power Drill ===
The Power Drill is a hand-held tool to drill through the rock walls. It can breach dirt and loose rock walls, but not hard rock.
=== Radar ===
The radar has two functions, the first is a map of the cavern, showing the Rock Raiders, their equipment, and the aliens if any. The second  function is a camera, which can be centered around one object or person, constantly follow it wherever it goes.
=== Shield Recharge Orbs ===
The Shield Recharge Orbs are two small, green, floating orbs that spin in a circle. They have the ability to recharge an object's or person's shield instantly.
The Shield Recharge Orbs only appear in the PlayStation game.
=== Pusher Beam ===
This blaster emits a beam that "pushes" monsters. It pushes them while taking away health. It is especially effective against Slimy Slugs who are not affected by Laser or Freezer Beams, however is less effective against larger monsters such as Rock, Lava, and Ice Monsters. This weapon is seen in the LEGO Rock Raiders PC game. It can be picked up at the Tool Store.
=== Laser Beam ===
This blaster emits a laser beam that damages monsters. It is very effective against Ice Monsters. It is also effective against Rock Monsters. It is, however not very effective against Lava Monsters and Slimy Slugs. This weapon is seen it the LEGO Rock Raiders PC game. It can be picked up at the Tool Store.
=== Freezer Beam ===
This blaster emits a beam that temporarily freezes and damages Monsters. It is very effective against Lava Monsters. It is also effective against Rock Monsters. It is, however, not very effective against Ice Monsters, and Slimy Slugs are completely unaffected. This weapon is seen in the LEGO Rock Raiders PC game. It can be picked up at the Tool Store.
=== Sonic Blaster ===
Sonic Blasters are defensive tools used against Slimy Slugs. Once a Sonic Blaster is dropped, it emits a high-pitched noise that drives away the Slimy Slugs.
