Probably unnecessary, but in the interest of covering bases:
Re: Personal radar. What exactly are we envisioning here? Cause being vague could burn us. My guess is some kind of device that uses radio waves to detect the shape of things and moving bodies in a radius around the user with a convenient LED display.
Of course a display like that could easily be seen in the dark and thus give away Bob's position.
Active radar while giving us more detailed mapping could be detected by other radar systems.
Passive radar wouldn't emit anything but we'd have to rely on other sources of radio waves.
Ambient radio waves means it would probably work pretty well outdoors due to radio stations, kind of okay indoors, poorly inside concrete walled structures or inside anything that can classify as a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage>faraday cage</a> (so we'd probably be radar blind inside a metal vault). However, guards often use radios to communicate, so they'd stick out pretty well on a passive radar system, even indoors.
...or we could just invoke video game logic if Daydream is willing to let it slide. Video game style radar that just sort of works conveniently and isn't at all noticeable by guards.

and yeah, I'd go with the multi-tool, and the crossbow/grappling hook combo weapon.

Just watch us infiltrate the hell out of this thing.continued Bob in an equally quiet whisper along with a thumbs up and a wink given in the wrong direction because Bob can neither see nor otherwise perceive Emily right now. Bob remains unbothered by his decidedly quirky behavior. Bob considers himself an eccentric thief, after all.
