007 First Light Guides & Tips

007 First Light is a third-person stealth action game where you play as a young James Bond in his early MI6 days. The game features a blend of social stealth, gadget-based infiltration, and direct combat. Choose your approach: go silent with disguises and gadgets, or go loud with firearms and melee takedowns. The game rewards exploration and creative problem-solving.

Tac Sim missions are the core stealth challenges in 007 First Light. Each mission has multiple entry points, disguises, and environmental opportunities. This guide covers the optimal silent approach for the early missions, including guard patrol patterns, camera blind spots, and gadget placement.

Combat features cover-based shooting, melee takedowns, and environmental kills. The game tracks your 'Heat' level — higher heat means more aggressive enemy response.
