James Bond game 007 First Light has received its first major free content update, bringing new tactical missions, weapons, and outfits to players alongside technical performance patches, according to developer IO Interactive. The update expands the game’s Tactical Simulation mode while removing the Denuvo Anti-Tamper security measure from the PC version.
New Tactical Simulation Missions and Unlockables
Players can now extend their gameplay in the Tactical Simulation (TacSim) mode through fresh challenges introduced by IO Interactive. According to the developers, these new tasks require players to quietly eliminate adversaries and successfully evacuate before enemy reinforcements arrive. Completing these objectives allows gamers to unlock three new weapons: the DRS-7 Silenced SMG, the DRX-2 Machine Pistol, and the Stormberg 50’cal rifle. Additionally, players can secure a new outfit for James Bond named “Diamond in the Rough.”
