Moving and Using Cover
To move, press the Control Stick.
You may be tough, but you are not invulnerable. Your enemies are more accurate when you stay in the open. To avoid damage and make it tougher for enemies to fire upon you accurately, take cover behind obstacles.
To toggle between crouching and standing, press the B Button.
Health and Armour
Health
Your health is measured by the curved red bar on the right side of the screen. As you take damage your health is depleted.
If you avoid taking damage for several seconds your health will begin to replenish itself. The meter flashes when your health becomes low. If your health runs out completely you are defeated and must resume the mission from your last auto-save point.
Armour
Your armour level is measured by the curved blue bar on the left side of the screen.
To replenish your armour level, acquire armour vests. When your armour level is full, the on-screen armour gauge turns gold.
Some enemies carry a spare armour vest which you can acquire once you have dispatched them.
Tip: Use precise shots to eliminate enemies cleanly and maximise the value of the armour they may be carrying. The more bullets you fire into an enemy, the more you degrade his spare armour.
Weapons Handling
As a rogue agent you carry the SPEC-9 personal side-arm. This light weapon can never be dropped and always has ammunition.
You may pick up additional weapons during a mission, but only Type-S Frag grenades and the SPEC-9 can be holstered. When your left or right hands are free, these two weapons are automatically equipped.
All other weapons are dropped when you pick up a new weapon. Some weapons are small and can be fired one-handed while other weapons are heavier and require both hands.
If a two-handed weapon has a secondary feature, such as a recon scope, activate the feature by pressing the L Button.
For maximum firepower, wield weapons in both hands.
Right Hand
•
To fire your right hand weapon, press the R Button.
•
To pick up a new weapon in your right hand, press the A Button + R Button.
•
To drop a weapon in your right hand, hold the A Button + R Button until it drops.
•
If no other weapon is equipped in your right hand, your SPEC-9 personal sidearm is automatically equipped.
Left Hand
•
To fire your left hand weapon, press the L Button.
•
You can throw grenades only if your left hand is free of other weapons.
•
To pick up a new weapon in your left hand, press the A Button + L Button.
•
To drop a weapon in your left hand, hold the A Button + L Button until it drops.
Hand-to-Hand Attacks
Sometimes the best option at close range is your bare hands. Melee attacks directly damage an enemy's health, even if the enemy has full armour.
To subdue an enemy by hand, press the Z Button to strike your opponent until he is stunned (usually one or two strikes). Once stunned, press the Z Button again to knock your enemy out.
Note: Heavily armoured enemies can withstand multiple melee attacks before being stunned.
Hostage Taking
When cover is scarce, using enemies as human shields is an efficient way of protecting yourself and dispensing with your opponents.
To take a hostage, press the Z Button to stun your opponent with a hand-to-hand attack then press the A Button to take a stunned opponent hostage.
Hostages can be thrown by pressing the A Button. Well-timed throws can knock other enemies to the ground.
Using Machine Traps
Machine traps - elements in the environment that can be used to defeat opponents - are located throughout the game.
When the prompt appears, press the A Button to activate a machine trap.
Tip: Be cautious around machine traps. Your enemies may decide to use them against you.
Using the GoldenEye
Your GoldenEye can be upgraded with the ability to shield you from gunfire, see enemies through walls and more. As you progress through the campaign, new GoldenEye ability upgrades are awarded to you by Francisco Scaramanga.
To use your GoldenEye, press the +Control Pad to select a GoldenEye ability, then press the X Button to activate the GoldenEye.
Using your GoldenEye depletes your GoldenEye power level over time. Some GoldenEye features consume significant amounts of power all at once and others drain power slowly over time. Be sure to keep an eye on your power levels.
When you are not using your GoldenEye it slowly recharges its power level. Certain types of machinery or structures can drain your GoldenEye of its power. Watch your on-screen readouts for signs of power drain.
