A cocoon is an item you can put in your inventory that will protect your stuff for a while if you should happen to die. Without a cocoon, your items are vulnerable to anyone or anything that comes along and takes a fancy to them, which includes players and NPCs.

If you die with a cocoon in your inventory, after you're re-cloned, run back to where you died (or where your body ended up, depending on how you died!) and Open cocoon. All of your stuff will be automatically returned to your inventory, but it won't be re-equipped! You'll have to do that yourself. It's also a good idea to carry more than one, or buy a cocoon before you run back to your corpse, in case whatever killed you is still there and waiting for you to open your cocoon! (Or you might die on your way back to safety after opening your cocoon, leaving your stuff vulnerable.) If you however are carrying a cocoon in your inventory and try to open your already deployed cocoon from death you might run into problems with targeting - open 2.cocoon should target the one on the ground.

Cocoons are available from Eschaton Outfitters, EO on your map in Freedom City - conveniently located W,D,D from Clone Arrangers. If the shop is closed you can buy a cocoon from the automat located outside. If your cocoon "expires" before you can get to it, your stuff will be left exposed, just as if you'd never had one in the first place! The white cocoon is the only known current version and it lasts one real life hour before expiring.
