Quiver: Hawkeye's quiver is specially designed for him and has the capacity to carry 36 normal sized arrows. Some of Hawkeye's custom made arrows take up more or less room in his quiver, so the exact amount of arrows Hawkeye's quiver can hold depends on which arrows he fills it with. Usually, he carries twelve standard target-point arrowheads, six 3-bladed broadheads, and eighteen various trick arrows.

Arrows: Hawkeye uses an assortment of different arrows. Many of his arrows are custom made by for specific purposes. These "trick" arrows have special devices built in their tips to enchance their effectiveness in crime fighting. Some of these arrows are: Explosive-tip arrow, Sonic arrow, Net arrow, Flare arrow, Putty arrow, Rocket arrow, Parachute arrow, Adamamantium-tip arrow (housing an electrical charge that discharges upon impact), Smoke-bomb arrow, Tear gas arrow, Suction-tip arrow, Acid arrow, bola arrow, Rocket arrow (filled with knockout gas), Boomerang arrow, Electro net arrow, Cable arrow, and many others. Hawkeye is constantly modifying his arsenal of arrows.
In addition to the trick arrows in his quiver, Hawkeye keeps certain custom arrowheads in the pouches of his tunic belt and straps. These arrowheads can be attached to any standard target-point arrow to convert them for special use.
In the middle of a battle, Hawkeye needs to be able to quickly locate the particular arrows he needs from his 36 arrow quiver. To aid him in this, he has arranged his arrows in a set pattern. Also, he has notch-coded the nock of each arrow so he can tell by the touch of the arrow which one he is drawing.
Hawkeye designed most of his arrows himself, but some of the more techological ones were designed and manufactured by Tony Stark. T'Challa (the Black Panther) also helped design some of Hawkeye's arrows.

Transportation: Skycycle, Avengers Quinjet. Hawkeye's skycycle was designed and made by Jorge Latham and Anthony Stark.

Costume: Made of synthetic stretch fabric with a chainmail neck piece.
