How to make $100,000 for the auction fee in 007 First Light
In 007 First Light, a mission titled “The Past Never Dies” requires players to earn $100,000 to fund James Bond and his partner Greenway’s entry into an exclusive auction operated by Barkhad Ali. Although both characters are MI6 agents, they lack the necessary financial resources to successfully infiltrate the auction through legitimate means. Players must therefore engage in various money-making activities throughout the game world to accumulate the required funds.
The game provides multiple avenues for earning currency, with at least six distinct methods available to players. To reach the $100,000 target most efficiently, guides recommend prioritizing “The Crypto Wallet” side mission early in the campaign, as it provides $50,000 in a single objective—half of the total required amount. Players must then identify and complete additional missions or activities to raise the remaining $50,000 needed for the auction fee.
This money-making mechanic serves as a gate to progression, forcing players to engage with the game’s broader mission and activity systems before they can advance the main narrative and uncover the mysteries hidden in the desert setting. The requirement to earn substantial in-game wealth adds a layer of resource management and goal-oriented gameplay to the infiltration sequence.
