How to Hit That $100,000 Auction Fee Fast in 007 First Light
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A quick guide on how to efficiently raise the $100,000 auction fee in 007 First Light by prioritizing specific side activities in Aleph before they lock out.
Playing through the mission The Past Never Dies in 007 First Light puts James Bond and Greenway in a tight spot. You need to raise a hefty $100,000 to secure entry into Barkhad Ali's high stakes desert auction. While MI6 might be footing the bill for some operational costs, field agents clearly need a better per diem. Thankfully, the bustling market hub of Aleph offers plenty of ways to pad your digital wallet, though some methods are significantly faster than others. If you want to bypass the grind and get straight to the story beats, you need to map out your hustle carefully.
To hit your financial goal efficiently, you should start by tackling The Crypto Wallet side mission. This particular hustle involves eavesdropping on a mercenary, infiltrating a secure zone, and having Moneypenny work her magic on an antenna. It yields a massive $50,000 payout that instantly puts you halfway to your target. From there, head over to Aadan's booth for The Jewel of Jahari, a classic cup game that costs $3,500 to play. You can easily cheat the system by activating your Q Lens to track the jewel, netting you a quick $30,000 after a trip to the local pawn stall. Pair this with the local shooting range, where hitting ten targets with the help of your focus mechanic secures another $30,000, and you will surpass your goal in no time.
Keep in mind that once you hit the $100,000 threshold and pay the fee, the remaining money making activities in Aleph lock out permanently. If you want to experience every piece of side content the hub has to offer, including the high paying fighting pit, you will need to plan your route before cashing in.
