007 First Light – All Correct Auction Answers

The 007 First Light auction happens during The Past Never Dies, the Aleph Black Market mission. Before you can enter the auction, Bond needs $100,000 for the entry fee.

Once inside, the auction looks like a normal bidding scene, but the cash does not win the item. The real win comes from following the sequence, sabotaging a rival bid, and pressing the final Improvise prompt.

3. How to Get the 100K Auction Fee

Paying auction fee

Before the auction, Bond needs $100,000 to enter Aleph’s auction and meet Bawma. The mission gives you several ways to earn money around the Black Market, including fighting, stealing, deception, shooting, and pickpocketing.

4. Fastest Way to Earn 100K

Hacking civilian

The fastest route is to combine one big combat payout with one big stealth payout. The cleanest path is Fight Pit + Crypto Wallet, because the Fight Pit gives $60,000 and the Crypto Wallet gives $50,000, putting you over the required amount.

1. Start with the Fight Pit.
2. Win all three fight rounds.
3. Collect $60,000.
4. Start the Crypto Wallet side activity.
5. Steal and decode the wallet.
6. Collect $50,000.
7. Return to the auction entrance with more than $100,000.
8. Pay the fee and enter the auction.

This route gives you $110,000 total, which is enough to continue without relying on small pickpocket payouts.

5. All Auction Fee Money Methods

Use the Fight Pit and Crypto Wallet first for the fastest route, then switch to Scorpius, the Cup Game, Shooting Range, or pickpocketing if you need a different style or a small top-up.

5.1. Fight Pit – $60,000

Fighting Omar

The Fight Pit is the best first activity because it gives the largest direct payout. You need to enter Aleph’s arena and win a series of unarmed fights. 

1. From the main stairs, head east through the market.
2. Look for the shark skull archway near the yellow container.
3. Eavesdrop near the blue barrel to unlock the opportunity.
4. Speak to Omar by the railing.
5. Win the three unarmed fights.
6. Collect the $60,000 payout.

5.2. Crypto Wallet Theft – $50,000

Hacking crypto wallet

The Crypto Wallet route is the best second activity if you want to reach the auction fee quickly without doing every side activity.

1. Go to the central covered eating area.
2. Eavesdrop on the man talking about a crypto deal.
3. Follow the target through the market.
4. Use distractions or gadgets to get past guards.
5. Steal the Crypto Wallet.
6. Go to the Aleph Cell Tower past the laundromat gate.
7. Climb to the terminal and decode the wallet.
8. Collect $50,000.

5.3. Scorpius Art Deal – $52,000

Buyer for Scorpius art deal

The Scorpius Art Deal is a strong payout, but it is more dangerous because it can lead to combat.

1. From the stairs, follow the left wall.
2. Eavesdrop on the three Scorpius soldiers near the containers.
3. Follow the marked guard to the restricted area under the stairs.
4. Distract him by using the generator on the right.
5. Steal the burner phone.
6. Move to the shipping container at the back.
7. Fight through the Scorpius mercenaries.
8. Collect the $52,000 payout.

5.4. How to Win Jewel of Jahari – $30,000

Jewel Cup Game

The Jewel of Jahari is a smaller payout, but it is useful if you want a puzzle-style activity instead of another fight.

1. Find Nirmala near the stairs.
2. Start the Jewel of Jahari objective.
3. Go to Aadan near the shoe stall to the right of the Fight Pit.
4. Pay the $3,500 entry fee.
5. Use Q-Lens during the cup shuffle.
6. Select the cup with the jewel.
7. Finish the deal to collect $30,000.

5.5. Basim’s Shooting Range – $30,000

Basim’s shooting range

The Shooting Range is a quick option if you are comfortable with pistol aiming and timing.

1. Walk past the Fight Pit.
2. Head toward the back-left area of the market.
3. Look for the car covered in weapons.
4. Speak to the merchant.
5. Follow the marker to Basim.
6. Pay the $3,000 entry fee.
7. Shoot the targets before they drop.
8. Use Focus for the final targets if needed.
9. Collect $30,000.

5.6. Pickpocketing – Around $3,000 Per Target

Pickpocketing is best used only when you are slightly short of the fee. It is too slow to be the main way to earn $100,000.

1. Use Q-Lens in the Black Market crowd.
2. Look for people with an orange square on their belt.
3. Distract the target with a nearby object or gadget.
4. Wait for the pickpocket prompt.
5. Steal the money clip.
6. Repeat only if you need a small top-up.
