007 First Light Against All Odds Challenge Guide

The Against the Odds episode in 007 First Light has nine challenges. Completing all of them unlocks Bond's Iceland Outfit. In this guide, we will explain how to complete all Against the Odds challenges, which tasks can be cleared in one run, and where it is best to reload from a checkpoint.

Challenges in 007 First Light are optional objectives inside individual missions. Completing them unlocks new outfits for Bond, and they are also required for 100% completion. Keep in mind that you usually cannot complete every challenge in an episode in a single run: some objectives directly contradict each other. For example, one challenge requires a stealth route with almost no enemy takedowns, while another forces you to neutralize several soldiers. Because of this, the best approach is to complete challenges in groups, then reload from a checkpoint and replay the section.

All Against the Odds challenges in 007 First Light:

These three challenges are best completed in one run. At the start of the objective, enter container F8, climb up, and use the zipline on the left to quickly reach G9. Climb onto the container roof, find the hatch, and use it to neutralize the first guard.

After rescuing the hostages, leave G9, but do not touch the laptop to the left of the exit. Instead, drop into the nearby trench and follow it toward container B4. Climb onto the roof using the crates, go down the ladder, and sneak inside through the window. Neutralize the second soldier, free the prisoners, and take the detonator. Then follow the story route until the objective is complete.

For this challenge, you need to use two distractions: the BT-65 and the ATV.

After freeing the hostages in container G9, leave through the door and use the laptop on the left to activate the BT-65 and distract some of the Arrowhead soldiers.

Then return to container F8, climb onto the roof, and slide down the zipline to the right. Drop down from the ledge with tall grass to end up near the ATV. It is located not far from B4, closer to B2. Approach the ATV and sabotage the brakes.

In this challenge, you need to defeat four soldiers without raising the camp alarm. Attack only isolated targets and do not let patrols notice the fight.

Start from checkpoint 06, Central Camp. Drop down and enter container B2. Inside, attack the enemy in melee combat. After winning, leave B2 and use the panel next to the entrance to turn off the light. This will make the three nearby soldiers split up. Use the moment to attack each one in melee combat, one after another.

For the High Ground challenge, you need to take down three soldiers by attacking them from above. The easiest route is tied to container G9.

You can eliminate the first enemy inside G9: climb onto the container roof, look through the hatch, and perform a takedown from above. The second enemy appears outside G9 after you free the prisoners. You can attack him from above if you position yourself correctly on the container.

The third enemy near G9 is trickier: you can lure him with an Arrowhead radio, but getting back up afterward is inconvenient. It is easier to neutralize the third enemy near B2. Turn off the lamp at the entrance to B2, wait until the enemies split up, return to higher ground, slide down the zipline from F8 to the right, and eliminate a suitable target with an attack from above.

For this challenge, you need to take down seven soldiers in the Central Camp while remaining undetected. There are more than seven suitable enemies in the camp, so the route can be adjusted slightly.

Optimal order:

This is one of the easiest challenges in the episode. Enter container F8 and climb the ladder to the antenna. From here, you can ride one of the ziplines, either left or right. The direction does not matter: the challenge counts immediately after you ride the zipline.
