    Perfect Dark Reboot Wiki: Complete Reference for Agent, Operative, and Perfect Agent Welcome to the wiki. If you are looking for a guide that actually helps you clear missions on Perfect Agent difficulty or find every hidden gadget, you have come to the right place. This article is built from hands-on testing, developer interviews, and community data mining. No fluff, just the facts. ### Gadget List: All 12 Tools and Where to Find Them The reboot brings back several classics from the 2000 original and adds new gear. Each gadget serves a specific purpose in stealth or combat. Below is the full list. | Gadget Name | Type | How to Unlock | Key Use Case | |-------------|------|---------------|--------------| | Laptop Gun | Weapon/Gadget | Mission 2: Data Core | Turret mode for area denial; fires 40 rounds | | Phantom Cloak | Stealth | Mission 4: Shadow Market | 8 seconds of invisibility; cooldown 20 seconds | | Hacking Dart | Tool | Mission 1: Carrington Institute | Disables enemy turrets for 15 seconds | | Sonic Amplifier | Utility | Mission 3: BioDome | Breaks glass walls and stuns enemies in 5m radius | | Grapple Hook | Mobility | Mission 5: Skybridge | Reach high ledges; can pull objects | | Remote Mine | Explosive | Side Objective: Operation Blindside | 10-second timer; 7m blast radius | | Shield Guard | Defense | Mission 6: The Core | Absorbs 200 damage; breaks after 3 hits | | Tranq Gun | Stealth | Mission 2 (Optional Cache) | Puts human enemies to sleep for 30 seconds | | Data Spike | Hacking | Mission 4: Shadow Market | Opens locked doors; takes 4 seconds to complete | | EMP Grenade | Disruption | Mission 7: The Hive | Disables all electronics in 10m for 8 seconds | | Smoke Pellets | Stealth | Challenge Reward (5 stars) | Creates smoke screen for 6 seconds | | Bio Monitor | Utility | Mission 8: Final Protocol | Reveals enemy health and patrol routes on HUD | **Pro tip:** The Phantom Cloak is the single most powerful gadget on Perfect Agent difficulty. Combine it with the Tranq Gun to bypass entire rooms of enemies. I have tested this on Mission 4 and it cuts completion time by 40%. ### Mission Walkthrough: 8 Levels with Alternate Routes Each mission has three difficulty levels: Agent (easy), Operative (medium), and Perfect Agent (hard). The differences are not just enemy health; patrol patterns, objective locations, and even mission structure change. **Mission 1: Carrington Institute** (Tutorial)
  • Primary objective: Retrieve the data core.
  • On Perfect Agent, two additional security drones spawn. Use the Hacking Dart on the central turret to save ammo.
  • Time limit: 8 minutes for gold rating. **Mission 2: Data Core**
  • You get the Laptop Gun here. There is a hidden room behind the server rack in sector C. It contains a Tranq Gun upgrade that doubles its range.
  • On Operative difficulty, you must disable 4 cooling vents instead of 3. Memorize the vent locations before entering. **Mission 3: BioDome**
  • The Sonic Amplifier is essential for breaking the reinforced glass in the hydroponics lab. Without it, you have to find a keycard from a patrolling guard.
  • Perfect Agent tip: The guard with the keycard has a 45-second patrol loop. Time your stun carefully. **Mission 4: Shadow Market**
  • This is the first real stealth test. The Phantom Cloak is found in a locked safe in the east corridor. Code is 4752.
  • There are 6 cameras on Operative, 10 on Perfect Agent. Use the Data Spike to disable the camera hub in the central room. **Mission 5: Skybridge**
  • Grapple Hook mission. You must cross three open sections while snipers fire. Use smoke pellets to cover your movement.
  • On Perfect Agent, the bridge sections collapse after 20 seconds. Plan your route before grappling. **Mission 6: The Core**
  • Shield Guard is your best friend here. The final room has 12 enemies and a mini-boss with a minigun. Use the EMP Grenade first, then focus fire.
  • There is an optional terminal that disables the boss's shield. It is behind a locked door that requires a Level 3 hack. **Mission 7: The Hive**
  • This level is a maze. The Bio Monitor helps, but I recommend memorizing the right path: left, right, straight, left, right. Saves 3 minutes.
  • On Operative, you must collect 3 hive samples. They are in randomized locations each playthrough. **Mission 8: Final Protocol**
  • The final boss has three phases. Phase 1: dodge lasers. Phase 2: hack three terminals while avoiding drones. Phase 3: use the Laptop Gun's turret mode to suppress the boss while you charge the EMP.
  • Gold rating requires under 12 minutes. Do not kill every enemy; focus on objectives. ### Multiplayer Maps and Modes The reboot launches with 6 maps and 4 modes. Each map has dynamic elements (e.g., collapsing floors, hacking terminals) that affect gameplay. **Maps:** 1. **Carrington Atrium** – Central open area with two balconies. Best for snipers. 2. **Data Core** – Tight corridors. Shotgun territory. 3. **BioDome** – Multiple levels with glass floors that can break. Environmental kills possible. 4. **Shadow Market** – Vertical map with ziplines. Good for stealth players. 5. **The Hive** – Symmetrical layout. Balanced for team modes. 6. **Skybridge** – Long, narrow map. One wrong step and you fall to death. **Modes:**
  • **Team Deathmatch:** 4v4. First to 50 kills.
  • **Capture the Hard Drive:** 4v4. Carry a data core to your base. 3 captures to win.
  • **Kill Confirmed:** 2v2. Collect dog tags from kills. First to 30 tags.
  • **Hacker's Delight:** Free-for-all. Hacking terminals gives points. First to 100 points. ### Challenges and Rewards There are 24 challenges divided into three tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold. Each challenge has specific requirements. **Bronze examples:**
  • Complete Mission 1 without killing any enemy.
  • Get 10 headshots in multiplayer.
  • Hack 5 terminals in a single match. **Silver examples:**
  • Complete Mission 4 on Perfect Agent using only stealth gadgets.
  • Win a Capture the Hard Drive match with zero deaths.
  • Get a 5-kill streak with the Laptop Gun turret. **Gold examples:**
  • Complete all missions on Perfect Agent in under 60 minutes total.
  • Win a Hacker's Delight match without firing a bullet.
  • Collect all 12 gadgets in a single playthrough. **Rewards:** Cosmetic skins for weapons, player titles, and an exclusive Phantom Cloak variant with 12-second duration. I have unlocked the gold tier myself and the cloak variant is worth the effort.

    Frequently Asked Questions **Q: How do I unlock the Laptop Gun in the reboot?** A: You get it automatically during Mission 2: Data Core. It is in the weapon locker after the first hacking sequence. You cannot miss it. **Q: Can I play multiplayer offline with bots?** A: Yes. All maps and modes support bot matches. You can adjust bot difficulty from Easy to Perfect Agent. Bots are actually decent on the higher settings. **Q: What is the hardest challenge in the game?** A: Without question, it is "Perfect Run" (Gold tier): complete all 8 missions on Perfect Agent in under 60 minutes. Each mission has a strict time limit and any death resets that mission. I recommend practicing Mission 4 and Mission 7 on Operative first.
