Fuse
What it does
Powers the fuse gate, one of the exits at the edge of the map. The gate's lock still needs bolt cutters or an escape key, so the fuse alone opens nothing.
The fuse is an escape item. The fuse gate, one of the exits at the edge of the map, will not open without one.
The gate also needs its lock dealt with, by bolt cutters or an escape key, and there can be boards that need a weapon. So a fuse on its own opens nothing. It is the part of the gate that is hardest to find.
Because it is rare, it is worth knowing where it turns up: check red toolboxes, lock boxes and drawers, and talk to residents, since some hand one over. Worn-out bolt cutters open locked containers again after Patch 1.0.3 fixed low-durability cutters failing on them. The fuse sits in your inventory rather than your hands, so carrying it costs a slot but not your weapon.
What is the Fuse used for?
Take it to the fuse gate at the edge of the map. Bring bolt cutters or an escape key too, because the gate is locked as well as unpowered; with only the fuse you will be standing at a closed exit.
Grab one when you see one and talk to residents as you pass, since some hand one over. Fuses are the scarce part of this exit, and a gate you have already located is useless without one.
The gate takes time to get running and sits at the edge of the map, which is quieter but far from help. Carry a blade, like an ice pick, before you start.

Ancient Amulet
Negates Michael's first grab and blinds him for roughly three seconds. No button press needed.
Fragile Hourglass
Throw it beside a downed Michael for a possible longer arrest window. Extra time is unreliable; it does not guarantee an arrest.

Switched on, it shows Michael through a green glow, even while he is invisible in Shape Jump.
