Against the Odds Challenges List
Your first real mission in 007 First Light is something of an accident for Bond, but it's a chance to prove oneself for Queen and country. In Against the Odds, you'll infiltrate an overrun base in Iceland, teeming with mercenaries who want to wipe the slate clean. Along the way, you'll have opportunities to complete mission-specific challenges that go toward unlocking the mission Completionist challenge and a unique outfit for TacSim.

Full of Surprises
Immediately after leaving the G9, look to the left, where you’ll find another laptop - labeled BT65 Control Station - sitting atop some crates. Like the one you used earlier, this one is also capable of remotely controlling a vehicle and, more importantly, causing a distraction. This is one of the two vehicles you need to activate for the challenge Full of Surprises.
After you activate the BT65, head into the ditch on your right side. From down here, none of the guards will be able to spot you while you travel across the camp.
Follow it all the way down until you squeeze through a narrow gap and find yourself on a cliff.
Head to the right and climb the rocky ledges until you pass a couple of guards and an ATV. Climb a little further, then pull yourself up into the nearby tall grass.
Approach the ATV and Sabotage the Brakes to cause a commotion, then head left, to the other side of the crates.
At this point, the challenge "Full of Surprises" should be triggered.
High Ground
The 'High Ground' challenge in 007 First Light tasks you with taking down three enemies from above, but you're in a camp filled with enemies. One wrong move, and you'll wind up in a camp-wide brawl.
The first two takedowns prove simple enough. When you enter the camp, keep to the path on the left along the cliffside. Your first takedown is just after the entrance, up the jump.
As you exit the circular cave entrance, look to the white-tinged ledge and creep up. There's a lone guard below that you can takedown.
From there, head back around and to the cliffside again. Your next target is sitting below G9.
There are two guards behind G9, against the cliff wall. Be wary. Once you take down the guard nearest to the bomb, the guard by the crates will turn hostile. Be quick, use a tackle to disorient him, then punch until you don't need to anymore. With the situation contained, it's time for our final takedown target.
Return to the entrance of the camp, near the cliffside path, quietly and quickly. From there, climb the crates in front of F8 to reach the tower above, where there are multiple ziplines. You want to hold right, then hit the jump button. Doing so will lead you to the cliff beyond B2.
After you land, creep up to the overhang. There's a guard directly below that you can takedown. But once again, doing so alerts a nearby guard, and you'll wind up in a fight with two others. Contain it, then move along!
Scenic Route
Enter the building marked F8, which is found just ahead of you when jumping down into the grass following the cutscene, and climb the ladder inside to reach a roof with another ladder.
Climb this ladder until you reach the top, then jump while holding left, this will send you sliding down the left wire to a cliff overlooking building G9. On top of taking you clear across the camp in a moment, it also completes the challenge "Scenic Route". Talk about efficiency!
