007 First Light Stealth Guide: Ghost Every Mission
The Reddit threads are unanimous: players want to complete missions without being detected. Here's how to Ghost every objective in 007 First Light.
The Q-Lens Scanner — Your Best Friend
- Press Q to toggle the scanner. It highlights enemies through walls, shows patrol routes, and marks interactive objects in gold.
- Tag enemies (middle mouse button) to track up to 3 simultaneously
- Scanner also reveals hidden passages and alternative entry points — scan every room thoroughly
Distraction Hierarchy
- Coin toss (LB/R1): Free, infinite uses. Best for guards near cover. Lures one enemy to the coin's landing spot for 8 seconds.
- Watch alarm (RB/R2 hold): Makes Bond's watch emit a high-frequency tone. Guards investigate the source but don't alert others. Best for stationary guards.
- Sabotage (interactable objects): Overload fuse boxes, trigger fire sprinklers, or disable cameras. Creates chaos that draws multiple guards away from their posts.
Cover-to-Cover Movement
- Bond automatically snaps to cover when crouching near walls/objects (no button press needed — this is different from most stealth games)
- Sprint between cover only when no guard is facing your direction. The detection meter fills in ~2 seconds on Normal, ~1 second on 00 Agent difficulty.
- Guards have a 120-degree vision cone. You can crouch-walk directly behind them without detection.
Pacifist vs Ghost Challenges
- Pacifist: No kills. Subduing/KO is allowed. Use the tranquilizer dart watch upgrade on mission 3 for ranged non-lethal takedowns.
- Ghost: No kills, no KOs, never detected. Requires complete stealth. Save-scumming is expected — quicksave before every risky maneuver.
