These compliment and augment his already present skills, allowing him to jump higher, move faster and farther, utilize additional stealth and offensive techniques, and so on.

- Devouring Swarm - Devouring Swarm is the supernatural ability to summon forth a swarm of ravenous rats from the Void as a means of offense. Rats summoned by Corvo do not fall under his control, although he can possess any one of them if he chooses. As they have a mind of their own, they may attack any non-player character. They will completely consume the bodies of Corvo's victims if given enough time, as would any swarm of naturally occurring rats.
- Possession - Possession is the supernatural ability to merge corporeally with creatures, allowing Corvo Attano to bypass guard patrols and to travel unharmed past Walls of Light and Arc Pylons. The amount of time allotted when possessing a creature depends on its identity, spanning from fish to tallboys, and if Corvo's host is killed, he dies as well. Note that Corvo can possess creatures from certain distances, teleporting "into" his target upon the power's activation. However, if there are obstacles between Corvo and his target, the possession will not occur. After possession ends, depending on what was possessed, Corvo will reappear behind, over, or underneath his former host.

Gear - Items unique to Corvo are a supernatural item known as the Heart (bestowed on him by the Outsider) and his sword, crossbow, and mask, which were crafted by inventor Piero Joplin.
- The Assassin's Mask - Corvo's Mask is a device used to conceal Corvo Attano's identity, and is constructed of a sturdy material that allows it to serve as conventional armor. The mask, modeled after a human skull, was created by the inventor Piero Joplin, who gives it to Corvo upon their first meeting. It mask possesses a telescopic function, allowing Corvo to view far-off objects and target enemies at long range. When zoomed in, the lens also amplifies sound.
- Corvo's Sword - Corvo's Folding Blade is the primary right-hand weapon for most of Dishonored. Its mechanism is resilient and efficient for both stealthy assassinations and open melee combat. This utility combined with its dense metal makes it perfect for defensive maneuvers.
- Corvo's Crossbow - A silent, exotic weapon crafted from the finest materials, the crossbow is a good choice for the silent assassin. First acquired in the Dunwall Sewer stash after the Coldridge Prison break-out, it quickly becomes one of Corvo Attano's main weapons. It can carry basic crossbow bolts, incendiary bolts, and sleep darts - the only ranged non-lethal attack.
- Corvo's Pistol - City Watch pistols are one of the main weapons in Dishonored.

- Sticky Grenades - The sticky grenade is a gadget in Dishonored that, as the name implies, will stick to any surface with which it makes contact and will explode a few seconds later.
- Springrazor Trap - The spring razor is one of the deadly gadgets that is available to Corvo Attano. It consists of an innocuous-looking pile of coiled wire, which when triggered by nearby vibrations, unfolds with an audible click causing its sharp wires to snap outward, eviscerating anything in the vicinity. Despite the description saying it is activated by nearby vibrations, Corvo can run around the spring razor safely without triggering it. The spring razor can also be placed on an unconscious body without killing it.
- Rewire Tool - Rewire Tools are used to manipulate the wiring for fuse boxes so that the many technologies in Dunwall can be utilized to Corvo Attano's advantage.
- The Heart - The Heart is a mystical object, created by the Outsider and given to Corvo Attano to assist him throughout the events of Dishonored. The Heart is used to help Corvo uncover runes and bone charms hidden throughout Dunwall, by beating faster when turned toward supernatural objects. In addition, when Corvo squeezes the Heart, it whispers secrets directly into his mind concerning his current area, as it senses information about the world beyond mortal recognition. When the Heart is pointed at a person, it reveals secrets about them to Corvo.
- Bone Charms - Bone Charms are mystical objects created from the bones of whales and other animals, each with a unique effect on the user's constitution and abilities. Corvo Attano can discover these trinkets throughout Dunwall, and use them to complement his mission strategies. When they are equipped, bone charms provide a variety of enhancements, such as improving the effects of elixirs and remedies, swimming speed, jumping ability, and strengthening Corvo's supernatural powers.
