|

David Somerset is in the restroom during the objective to fetch the keycards. Simply talk to him, exit the conversation, and smash in the door to knock him out. |
|
|
Complete all opportunities in Robotics. |
There are two opportunities in Robotics. You need to head to the left and activate the shooting range, then hack the wall behind the android and shoot the android behind him with a barrel. Then, head to the right and make the woman leave the test with a Phone Dart, and while the robot mimics your actions, punch the glass. |
|
|
Special Intelligence Task Force |
Bail out Isola when she is recognized by Lindsey. |
Continue through the mission, and Isola will start a conversation with Lindsey, and you can press Square/X to intervene. |
|
Pacifist Protocols |
Complete Gantries and Utility Floor without shooting anyone. |
The Gantries and Utility Floor are the two encounters that need ot be done during stealth, so just don't use your gun in these sections. We have a dedicated walkthrough below to help you complete this challenge. |
|
Death From Above |
Takedown 3 Webb guards from above in the Utility space. |
In the Utility Floor, use the Q-Lens to find ledges that you can climb, then bait enemies towards you with Lure or distractions, and use a takedown from above a total of 3 times. |
|
Kill an enemy with a proximity mine placed on a robot vacuum cleaner. |
Use the Flash Mine gadget on a robot vacuum cleaner, and when it runs into an enemy, they will both explode. |
|
|
Server Breakdown |
Kill a Webb guard with an exploding server module. |
Use the Q-Lens, and some servers, when highlighted, can be exploded. Use the Missile Pen or the Laser Strap to make them explode. |
|
Open the safe. |
When tasked with upgrading your ID Badge, you can find the safe on the left side of the lower floor in an office, under the desk. You will need to distract the two NPCs inside. |
|
|
Find a math puzzle. |
On the outside desk of the lower floor you can find the Office Key. Take it upstairs and inside the locker, you can examine the math puzzle note. |
|
|
Talk to a guard and turn yourself in. |
In the same area where you need to upgrade your ID Badge, you can look to the left of the security guard and find an office floor. Distract the three people inside and read the memo, and then speak with the guard outside. |
|
|
Expert Marksman |
Kill 10 enemies with headshots in the Command Center. |
The Command Center is where you can use the License to Kill, so just shoot 10 enemies in the head in this area. |
|
Proxy Agent |
Hack 5 servers in "Red alert". |
In the Command Center, simply use the Q-Watch to hack the floor panels, which count as servers. |
|
Stay Stealthy |
Eliminate 4 enemies without alerting anyone in "Red alert". |
You need to use the Missile Pen on the two explosive servers when the armored guards approach, then use the Silenced Pistol to kill a guard on the left and right. This isn't for takedowns, it's for eliminations, and we have a guide below to show you. |
|
No Time to Reload |
Kill enemies with 5 different firearms during a single combat encounter. |
This is also done in the Command Center. Just pick up any gun you find and shoot an enemy, then take their gun. Make sure you use a total of 5 different guns. |
|
Going Down? |
Throw all the guards off the freight lift as it descends. |
Activate the elevator in the Command Center, and enemies will try to fist-fight you when it descends. Just use R2/RT to throw them off the railings. |
|
Terminated |
Crush the rogue android. |
You can crush the first robot with the servers, so use the Q-Watch! |
|
Wrecking Baller |
Use Wreckie to destroy 15 androids without taking any damage during "Wreaking havoc" or "A daring escape". |
Just kill every robot you see with Wreckie and avoid letting the robots touch you. This will be easier in the second robot encounter, as there are far more of them. |
|
Perfect Strike |
Use Wreckie to destroy 10 androids in one roll during "Wreaking havoc" or "A daring escape". |
This is easy, and we've got a guide for this below. Just farm up all the robots in the second encounter (destroy two generators to make more spawn) and when you have over 10, let Wreckie crush them. |
|
Icecap-Tain |
Use an iceberg as a jump during the boat chase. |
During the boat chase, stick to the left, and you'll be able to go up a ramp (past the first unavoidable ramp). |
|
Running Man |
Complete the chase after Isola without failing. |
For this challenge, you just need to run after Isola and chase her down on the boat without having to retry. You can try again from the checkpoint, as this will reset your progress. Just avoid mines, and you'll be fine. |
Hide and Seek and Pacifist Protocols Challenges in 007 First Light
Hide and Seek is the challenge you get for passing the Gantries without being detected, but there's also a two-parter challenge. You need to sneak through the Gantries without firing a shot, and then repeat this for a later encounter at the Utility room.
The video above details the paths we took in both encounters to ensure we got both the Hide and Seek challenge and the Pacifist Protocols challenge, so you can follow it along to see how we managed against the guards.
Stay Stealthy, Proxy Agent, No Time to Reload, and Going Down Challenges in 007 First Light
The most challenging aspect of this area is Stay Stealthy. You need to KILL enemies, not knock them out. For this, we used the Missile Pen on the two servers with the armed guards, and when timed right (seen in the video above) it will explode 3 people. All that's left is to headshot a guard with your silenced pistol.
The other three challenges are simple enough. For Proxy Agent, use the Q-Watch to hack the servers on the floor to raise them or lower them. No Time to Reload is also simple, as you just need to pick up guns and kill people. There's shotguns, ARs, and pistols. Lastly, for Going Down, just use R2/RT to throw people off the elevator.
Terminated, Wrecking Baller, and Perfect Strike Challenges in 007 First Light
After taking the elevator down, you'll encounter your first android. Killing him for the Terminated challenge is extremely easy, just look to the left and activate the server to lower it. Now, lure the android here, and when he's in position, activate the server to instantly crush him.
Wrecking Baller and Perfect Strike are also easy, but require patience. In the second area with Wreckie and the androids (after the fan), you will need to destroy 2 generators to spawn more androids. Now, train them in a line until you have 15, then send Wreckie going through them all.
