Environmental Kills & Combat Tips — Turn Every Room Into a Weapon

Environmental Objects Are Weapons

Almost every object in every environment can be used as a weapon in 007 First Light. Mugs, bottles, keyboards, books, plates — pick them up and throw them at enemies to stagger them. Once staggered, perform a takedown to finish them instantly.

Card Kills

Playing cards are scattered throughout levels specifically to be used as thrown weapons. They deal the same stagger effect as other environmental objects. Keep an eye out for card tables and card decks — grab one before engaging guards.

Chandelier Drops

In indoor environments with chandeliers, look for rope or mechanism you can interact with. Dropping a chandelier on an enemy deals massive damage. The museum mission in Chapter 11 (Uninvited) has chandeliers specifically placed for this purpose.

Throwing Your Empty Weapon

When ammunition runs out, do not stand helpless. Throw your current weapon at the enemy — it disarms them. Catch their gun as it falls and keep firing. This is an intended mechanic, not a bug workaround.

Firestarter Achievement

The "Firestarter" achievement requires pushing an enemy into a fire extinguisher. Look for fire extinguishers mounted on walls — use takedowns near them to knock enemies into the extinguishers, which then explode.
