On all other cinemas the gate guard moves in the opposite direction, unloaded, and will end up opening both of the gates for us. In the bad cinema you must press the button and wait for the first gate to close before the 2nd can open, losing a couple of seconds.

An un-debunked strategy<ref>{{cite web | url=https://forums.the-elite.net/index.php?topic=23850.msg468850#msg468850|title=the-elite forum post "The Truth About Dam 00 Agent 1:55"|author=OHMSS|access-date=July 18, 2021}}</ref>, Marc Rützou used this to set the untied world record of 1:54 on 00 Agent. This requires picking up at least one KF7, either from the right guard in the very first tunnel near spawn, or from the guard that runs to the alarm after the big gate. In the basement, as soon as you enter the "zig-zag" before the mainframe door section begin firing the KF7. With only one KF7 (10 bullets) you will run out of ammo before reaching the last guard. If you picked up two KF7 (20 bullets) there should be enough ammo to continue firing and eliminate the last guard in the path to the door. This should make enough [[Noise]] that the mainframe area guard is alerted and will open the door for you just as you arrive. <ref>{{cite web | url=

Technical Details

Guards

  • There is no link in the navigation graph through the lockshot gate, and so guards cannot run across it. If they try to plot a route to Bond on the other side then this will just fail and they won't move.
  • When the alarm goes off for the first time, 2 guards spawns before the double gate and run to Bond, as well as the two guards in the building where the modem console is[1][2]. Again the guards will fail to run to Bond if he is on the Dam
  • The two guards who patrol around the double gate at the start will not attack you until they reach their destination or are disrupted. One goes near the tower of silver crates, while the other goes to the destructible boxes nearby the gate. Occasionally their pathing will mess up and they'll spin in circles and be harmless. [3]
  • Tunnel guards have a 25 / 256 (~9.8%) chance of becoming normal guards each time that they would otherwise pick an attack.

Lookup on Dam

After the lockshot, the difference between lookup and lookdown on the Dam is minimal.[4][dubious – discuss]
