How to Get 140k in the Market for the Show Me the Money Challenge in 007 First Light
Complete the Fight Pit for $60,000
To begin, you're going to want to head forward and to the right to enter the Fight Pit. Here, you can eavesdrop on a conversation between the Ring Master and the Trainer. After eavesdropping, speak with the Ring Master, then speak with the Trainer to sign up for the Fight Pit.
You will need to beat three opponents, but this is fairly easy so long as you know how to parry and throw enemies into walls. Once you beat all three opponents, you will get $60,000, which is the first step to winning the challenge.
Complete the Cup Game for $30,000
After exiting the Fight Pit, head left, where you can find Aadan, who is running a cup game scam. You can earn $30,000 here, but you'll have to give him $3,500 to start the game. All you need to do once the game starts is hold L1/LB to watch the jewel with your Q-Lens, then select the cup the jewel is under. Now, take the jewel to the pawn shop.
This next step is a detour, as you need to make your money back from buying into Aadan's game. Walk around the market with your Q-Lens active, and you'll see people who you can pickpocket. You can pickpocket them by distracting them (I used the Phone Dart). Once you have at least $1,000 back (a total of $90,000 or more) you can proceed to the final step.
Complete the Scorpius Deal for $52,000
After you have at least $90,000, you can head to the back left of the market to find two guards. If you approach the truck, you can eavesdrop, and one will leave. To get the other to leave, activate the generator on the right, and then enter the room he was guarding.
You will now need to enter the compound and avoid the guards to get the burner phone, which is on the top floor of the building on the right. Now, head to the front left of the market to find a shipping yard, where you can interact with container 76. This will trigger a License to Kill fight, but once that's done, you'll get $52,000.
By completing the missions in this order, you will finish with $140,000, and you will instantly unlock the "Show Me the Money" Challenge.
