How to complete all advanced tactical training challenges in 007 First Light
|
Challenge |
Description |
How to complete |
|---|---|---|
|
Advanced tactical training 1 |
Complete level 1 of “Advanced Tactical Training”. |
Level 1 is a tutorial, and each objective slows down time so you can read what you need to do and complete it. But if you do this for 60 seconds, you can get the Fast Learner challenge. |
|
Advanced tactical training 2 |
Complete level 2 of “Advanced Tactical Training”. |
You must perform the following: Vault disarm (Left Stick+X / Left Stick+A when an enemy is leaning against the box you can vault over). Charge an enemy (R1+Square/RB+X). Double Leg shot (use a gun and shoot an enemy in the left and right leg). Focus head shot (Use L3 when aiming at the focus and shoot them in the head). Shoot Disarm (Shoot an enemy in the hand when they are holding a gun). |
|
Advanced tactical training 3 |
Complete level 3 of “Advanced Tactical Training”. |
Level 3 requires you to eliminate 13 enemies, which can be done in any way you like. But if enemies are alerted, reinforcements will be called in, meaning you now have to eliminate 19 enemies. |
|
Graduated |
Complete all three levels of “Advanced Tactical Training”. |
Completing Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 will earn you this challenge, and we've got full walkthroughs for you to follow below. |
|
Four Your Eyes Only |
Complete Level 2 with four or fewer eliminated opponents. |
This can easily be done with the first two enemies when you spawn, and then the next two enemies inside the box. We have a review of this and Slow Learner below. |
|
A lesson in chemistry |
Eliminate an opponent with a level 3 explosion. |
On the left side from the deck you can find a red barrel. Shoot it, or use the Laser Strap gadget, and it will explode, killing an enemy. |
|
Mind the Gap |
Eliminate an opponent by throwing them off a ledge. |
This is easily done on level 3. Stay to the right side, and there's a nice ledge you can throw enemies into by holding R2/RT. |
|
No Gadgets: Advanced Tactical Training |
Complete level 3 of “Advanced Tactical Training” with no gadgets equipped. |
Make sure you go to the gadget cart before starting the mission, and you can select your gadget slots and press Triangle/Y to unequip everything. This must include Q-Watch. |
|
Fast learner |
Complete level 1 of “Advanced Tactical Training” in under a minute. |
You want to complete each objective as quickly as possible, which is in this order: Perform a Left Stick + X/A to disarm. Shoot an opponent in the leg and eliminate them. Shoot an opponent's weapon out of their hands and eliminate them. Charge an opponent with R1+Square/RB+X and eliminate them. Eliminate two enemies with Focus (L3). |
|
Slow learning |
Complete level 2 of “Advanced Tactical Training” only shooting with focus active. |
You can use Focus with L3, and you can easily complete this challenge with the level 2 quest by doing the following: Vault disarm the first opponent. Use 2 Charge (R1+Square/RB+X) attacks on the same enemy. Use Focus to shoot both enemies in the legs, which will kill them. Move forward and use Focus to shoot the weapons out of the hands of two enemies. The same enemies you just disarmed, use Focus to headshot them. |
|
Hoplophobia |
Complete level 3 without firing a shot. |
This challenge is fairly simple, but given that you'll need to use melee and stealth takedowns, it's likely that you'll need to fight reinforcements, which will increase the total number of enemies to 19. |
How to complete Advanced Tactical Training 1 and Quick Learning Challenges in 007 First Light
The video above shows a level 1 speedrun, which you need to do in under 60 seconds to get the “Fast Learner” challenge, but here are the goals you need to know about so you know exactly what to do next:
-
Perform a Left Stick + X/A to disarm the enemy, then run through the door.
-
Shoot an opponent in the leg and eliminate them, then run through the next door.
-
Shoot an opponent's weapon out of their hands and eliminate them, then pass through the final door.
-
Charge an opponent with R1+Square/RB+X and eliminate them.
-
Two more enemies will spawn, so use Focus (L3) and shoot them both in the head under Focus.
How to complete Advanced Tactical Training 2, Four Your Eyes Only and Slow Learner Challenges in 007 First Light
These challenges were extremely easy, and I'll list below the full steps I took to complete all three in one go:
-
Lean against the box and wait for the enemy to be in range, then use Left Stick and X/A to roll over to disarm him.
-
On the same disarmed enemy, I used R1+Square/RB+X twice to complete the second objective.
-
The same enemy was still alive, so I finished him off with a Focus leg shot.
-
I still had a Focus leg shot left, so I shot the other enemy in both legs, leaving me with Shot Disarm and Focus Headshot.
-
Go north and you'll find two enemies in a box. Make them see you so they have their weapons, then Focus shoot their hands to disarm them.
-
Now use your remaining focus to shoot the same enemies in the head.
How to complete Advanced Tactical Training 3, Mind the Gap, Hoplophobia and a lesson in chemistry challenges in 007 First Light
For this set of challenges, I started by looking directly to the left, where you can find two enemies within range of an explosive red barrel that can be destroyed using the Laser Strap gadget, which will kill one of them for the “A Lesson in Chemistry” challenge. I didn't use a gun, so I was able to get the “Hoplophobia” challenge.
Next, I navigated left towards the surviving soldier that didn't die in the explosion, and I held R2/RT to charge him off the cliff to kill him and get the “Mind the Gap” challenge. Now all that was left was to kill all the other enemies with my fists (or by throwing them off ledges) so I could get the “Hoplophobia” challenge.
