Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

How long is the campaign?

The main campaign takes approximately 12-14 hours for story completion. Completionist runs pursuing all challenges and collectibles require 40-60+ hours depending on skill level and exploration thoroughness.

Can I change difficulty mid-game?

Yes, difficulty can be adjusted through the pause menu at any time. Changes apply immediately without requiring mission restart.

Does my licence to kill choice lock me into an ending?

The licence to kill tracking influences narrative elements and character relationships, but multiple endings remain accessible regardless of lethal/non-lethal ratio. Heavily lethal approaches may limit certain dialogue options but do not create exclusive outcomes.

Gameplay Questions

How do I complete the Pacifist challenge?

Pacifist challenges require completing missions without killing enemies. Use silent takedowns, environmental falls, knockout devices, and non-lethal weapons. Lethal takedowns, gunfire, and lethal environmental kills violate pacifist requirements.

How do I find all collectibles?

Collectibles appear throughout missions but are not required for story completion. Use instinct to highlight collectible glows, explore thoroughly, and replay missions specifically for collection runs. Our complete collectibles guide provides detailed location information.

What's the best approach for challenges?

Challenges vary significantly in difficulty. Start with straightforward objectives during normal playthroughs, then replay missions specifically targeting harder challenges. Create separate save files for different challenge categories.

How does focus mode work?

Focus mode slows time dramatically, enabling precision actions. It activates when instinct peaks and depletes a separate energy meter. Manage focus usage carefully—reserve it for genuinely difficult moments rather than routine operations.

Technical Questions

What are the PC requirements?

Minimum: GTX 1060 6GB / RX 580, 16GB RAM, 80GB SSD. Recommended: RTX 3070 / RX 6700 XT, 16GB RAM, 80GB NVMe SSD. Full specifications available in our PC Requirements guide.

How do I improve performance?

Lower shadow quality first, then enable DLSS or FSR at Quality mode. Use SSR instead of ray tracing. Set shader cache to unlimited. Ensure the game runs from SSD rather than HDD. Full optimization guide available.

Why did my save fail?

The game autosaves at checkpoints and supports manual saves via F5 (quicksave) or pause menu options. Ensure sufficient hard drive space and proper file permissions. Cloud saves require platform synchronization.

Story Questions

Does this connect to other Bond games?

007 First Light serves as an origin story, establishing James Bond before the events of other games in the franchise. Characters and relationships created here provide foundation for potential future adventures.

Who is Dr. Selina Tan?

Dr. Tan directs the TacSim training program, developing field agent capabilities. Her role in the conspiracy remains ambiguous until late-game revelations. Her ultimate loyalty becomes clear during the Knightfall mission.

What happens to Greenway?

Greenway's fate receives resolution during the Mauritania mission, The Past Never Dies. His survival or death depends on choices and mission performance throughout the campaign.

Will there be DLC or sequels?

No official announcements regarding post-launch content have been made. The complete campaign provides satisfying standalone experience with potential for future expansion.
