Quick Answer
Against the Odds is the opening mission. An aerial ambush strands Bond deep in enemy territory in Iceland, and the level doubles as a soft tutorial — sneak up the beach, infiltrate the camp, free the captives, and fight your way out. There are 4 collectibles to grab on the way through.

| 2 | Dart Phone | Quietly deal with the lone guard at the desk in container B2. |
| 3 | Distraction | Pull patrols away from the medical tent and cabins. |
| 4 | Melee / takedown focus | The prologue funnels you into close-quarters takedowns and a final fight. |
