Before starting Dam in Goldeneye, 007: Tips

• If you’re used to regular aiming conventions, switch your aim from inverted to upright in the start menu.
• On default control schemes, interacting with objects and doors is done by pressing the “B” button on the Nintendo Switch and the “A” button on Xbox. When it comes to aiming, use the aim feature, “L” on the Nintendo Switch and “LT” on the Xbox, to aim at the alarms and the small screen for the Covert Modem.
• Use the silent pistol when setting off the alarms to stop more enemy from entering the area.
• To make it easy for enemies to approach you through the tunnel, be sure to have your sniper rifle handy.
• The Suspend menu on Nintendo Switch allows you to create check points. Press the “-” button to open the Suspend menu, and create a Suspend point to make your own check point. This feature is especially useful for the 00 Agent difficulty. No, there’s no suspend for the Xbox version.
