To complete the “Steal Field Equipment” objective in 007 First Light, you need to steal three specific items from Q-Lab (a Q-Watch, gadgets, and a service pistol) by solving puzzles and finding codes. This is a Chapter 1 quest that unlocks your loadout for the rest of the game.
Steal Field Equipment objective details
How to Steal Field Equipment (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Get the Q-Watch (Q-03 Stress Testing)
Head to Q-03 Stress Testing and use the bioscanner by the locked door.
You need three fingerprints from Q:
-
Fingerprint 1: Center of the room, on the glass where Q had a drink with James.
-
Fingerprint 2: Behind the whiteboard at Q-05 Vehicle Testing, on the motorsport bike.
-
Fingerprint 3: Q-07 Wardrobe, back of the room on a green wall panel
Return to the bioscanner, and enter.
And grab the Q-Watch. This triggers a lockdown.
Step 2: Escape the Stress Test Chamber
-
In the left area, find the laser.
-
And rotate it right to destroy the lock mechanism above the furnace.
-
Take the yellow ladder up, turn the valve on the right.
-
Jump down, turn on the furnace.
-
It explodes and opens a hatch to exit.
-
Bonus: Safe code is 4397E (found on the car’s number plate inside).
Step 3: Find Gadgets (Q-05 Gadget Testing)
Crawl through the vent.
After exiting, enter Gadget Testing room
-
Equip any gadgets you want (recommended: Phone Dart, Laser Strap, Smoke Bomb).
-
Simply open the doors to exit (no puzzle here)
Step 4: Get the Service Pistol (Q-09 Armory)
-
Go to the Shooting Range (behind the red telephone booth).
-
Check Waters’ high score on the screen → code is 1324E.
-
Enter 1324E at the Armory door.
-
And grab Bond’s new service pistol behind the door.
Step 5: Complete the Mission
Approach the elevator to leave Q-Lab and finish the objective.
Critical Mistakes to Avoid
-
Missing fingerprints: Check all three locations carefully; the game won’t progress without all three
-
Not turning the valve: You must turn the valve before activating the furnace, or the hatch won’t open
-
Forgetting the safe: The 4397E safe contains a free collectible you don’t want to miss
-
Ignoring the high score: The Armory code 1324E is literally Waters’ high score number—don’t skip looking at it
This objective is essential for unlocking your gadgets and weapon for all future missions in the game.
