'''Small drills''' are vehicle-mounted chainsaws designed to cut through rock quicker than the jackhammers Rock Raiders use can. They can also cut through Hard Rock, though very slowly. The [[Small Digger]] is the only vehicle that uses small drills, starting off with two and able to gain a third one by being upgraded. | |||

'''Scoops''' are giant cargo holds used for carrying large amounts of materials and equipment. The Chrome Crusher has a scoop mounted on it, but it is not usable in the video games. The [[Tunnel Transport]] also has a scoop, and in the PlayStation game it can use it to pick up large amounts of water and pour it over lava, cooling it into ground that vehicles can drive on. | |||

'''Cargo Holds''' are used primarily by small vehicles.

'''Mining Lasers''' used by small and large vehicles alike, as well as by the [[Mining Laser]] Building, are an alternative method to Drills. For the most part, they are usually less effective, mainly because most of them drain [[Energy Crystals]], and take longer to mine walls than drills. Also, they can be used as guns to blast enemies, though using [[Rock Raider|Rock Raiders]] with guns is more efficient unless they refuse to shoot.. They can also be somewhat hazardous, as they can damage [[Rock Raider|Rock Raiders]] and [[Vehicles]] as well. | '''Mining Lasers''' used by small and large vehicles alike, as well as by the [[Mining Laser]] Building, are an alternative method to Drills.

Handheld tools
Drill
The drill is a jackhammer designed for drilling various weaker rock types. It is the most basic mining tool, as all Rock Raiders teleport down with one. In the Windows version of LEGO Rock Raiders, the drill takes four seconds to drill Dirt, eight seconds to drill Loose Rock, and forty seconds to drill Seams. In the PlayStation version of LEGO Rock Raiders, the drill take approximately two and a half seconds to drill Dirt, and seven seconds to drill Loose Rock. Handheld drills cannot drill through Hard Rock.
Shovel
The shovel or spade is a tool used for clearing up rubble, either to make it easier for Rock Raiders to walk across, or to dig up useful Ore that may be burred underneath it. It takes approximately ten seconds[verify] for a Rock Raider to shovel rubble. Rock Raiders are also depicted using shovels to build Power Paths and patch together lava-eroded terrain, despite being unnecessary for them to actually be carrying one for either task. This tool is only used in the Windows game.
Hammer
The hammer is a tool used for reinforcing walls to prevent them from causing landslides and cave-ins, and to stop monsters from emerging. This tool is only used in the Windows game.
Spanner
The spanner is a wrench used for repairing damaged buildings. Though Rock Raiders can carry spanners at any time, they must be trained as a engineers to repair buildings with them. This tool is only used in the Windows game.
Weapons
Laser Beam
The Laser Beam is a powerful weapon that fires beams of focused energy. It can kill Rock Monsters and Ice Monsters in a single hit. It does almost no damage to Lava Monsters due to their extreme heat, or Slimy Slugs because of their thick skin. In the PlayStation game, the Laser Beam is Powerful enough to blast through any drillable walls just as effectively as vehicle-mounted lasers. In this version, only monsters can be killed by a Laser Beam.
In the Windows game, the Laser Beam has a bug that causes the entire Energy Crystal store to be drained while firing on some newer computers.
Pusher Beam
The Pusher Beam is a weapon that fires a force field ray that knock creatures back. In the Windows game, it does only a small amount of damage to all creatures, mostly just being useful for pushing them away from Rock Raider HQ. In the PlayStation game, the Pusher Beam can kill Scorpions in three shots, but Spiders and Slimy Slugs are only stunned, and monsters are just knocked back slightly. Rock Whales are too large to be pushed, instead seeming to be irritated by it and walking in whatever direction they're facing.
Freezer Beam
The Freezer Beam is a weapon that temporarily freezes creatures in a block of ice. In the Windows game, it freezes Rock Monsters with minimal damage, but does heavy damage to Lava Monsters. Ice Monsters are immune due to being made of ice, and Slimy Slugs are unaffected as well for some reason. In the PlayStation game, the Freezer Beam is more defensive: instead of firing a beam like in the Windows game, it creates a temporary shield around the player (though it doesn't follow the player), which spins in place and freezes any creatures that walk into it. It can't kill anything, though it can be used alongside other weapons to give the player an easier shot at a creature by immobilizing it.
Sonic Blaster
The Sonic Blaster is a small machine that can be activated and dropped to scare off nearby creatures. It does not require Action Stations to be activated, and Rock Raiders need to be manually ordered to use it. Following a short countdown after initial deployment, Sonic Blasters start emitting a startling noise and a display of light and smoke. Dropping one near a Slimy Slug will repel it temporarily. Once enough Sonic Blasters have been used, the Slimy Slug will retreat altogether.[verify] This tool is only used in the Windows game.
Sonic Blasters have on occasion been known to cause game crashes, due to some part of the animation file not working with some newer computers.[verify]
Pickups
Dynamite
PowerCell
PowerCells are ammunition packs that are needed to fire weapons in the PlayStation version of LEGO Rock Raiders. Each type of PowerCell recharges its respective weapon to allow it to be fired an additional number of times: 20 for the Pusher Beam, 10 for the Freezer Beam, and 5 for the Laser Beam. Picking up PowerCells with Sparks will allow for double these amounts of usage. Laser Beam PowerCells can also be used to recharge the mining lasers of the Small Mobile Laser Cutter, Large Mobile Laser Cutter, and Chrome Crusher.
Shield Recharge
Shield Recharges are pickups in the PlayStation version of LEGO Rock Raiders that recharge the energy shields of Rock Raiders and vehicles. Standard Shield Recharges refill some shield powerHow much?, while Full Shield Recharges refill all shield power back to 100%.[verify] Rock Raider Shield Recharges resemble glowing green orbs, and Full Shield Recharges are larger and brighter. Vehicle Shield Recharges resemble spinning wrenches, and Full Shield Recharges are larger and yellow.
Radar Booster
PAL PlayStation.
Vehicle tools
Small drill
Small drills are vehicle-mounted chainsaws designed to cut through rock quicker than the jackhammers Rock Raiders use can. They can also cut through Hard Rock, though very slowly. The Small Digger is the only vehicle that uses small drills, starting off with two and able to gain a third one by being upgraded.
Big drill
Cargo hold
Scoop
Scoops are giant cargo holds used for carrying large amounts of materials and equipment. The Chrome Crusher has a scoop mounted on it, but it is not usable in the video games. The Tunnel Transport also has a scoop, and in the PlayStation game it can use it to pick up large amounts of water and pour it over lava, cooling it into ground that vehicles can drive on.
