Full Of Surprises is one of nine optional challenges tucked into Against the Odds, the opening mission of 007 First Light. It lives entirely in the Central Camp section, and it asks you to set off two specific distractions against the Arrowhead soldiers guarding the camp. Both must be triggered in the same run for the challenge to register.
What Full Of Surprises requires in Against the Odds
The challenge has a single condition with two parts. You need to use the BT65 (the camp's vehicle, reversed from a laptop terminal) and the ATV (sabotaged so it rolls off the cliff) as distractions. Each one pulls soldiers away from their posts, and the game counts the challenge as done once you have set off both.
Neither distraction has to be combined with stealth or combat goals, so this is one of the easier challenges to isolate. You can replay just the Central Camp portion through Select Chapter from the main menu rather than starting the whole prologue over, which makes a clean attempt fast.
| Distraction | Location | Action |
|---|---|---|
| BT65 Control Station | Laptop on crates near the front of container G9 (also reachable just left of G9's exit door) | Interact to reverse the BT65 |
| ATV | End of the right-hand path past the crates, near the rocky ledges by B4 | Sabotage the brakes so it rolls off the cliff |
The interact prompt uses the same input for both objects: Triangle on PlayStation or Y on Xbox.
How to trigger both distractions from spawn
This route handles Full Of Surprises on its own without worrying about being seen, since detection does not fail the challenge.
Step 1: Load the Central Camp checkpoint. From the spawn point, head into building B2 and leave through the right-hand door.
Step 2: Stick to the crates and follow the path to its end, where you will find the ATV. Sabotage its brakes to send it over the edge. That is the first of the two distractions.
Step 3: Return toward spawn and take the rock path on the left, climbing upward. Move right toward the front of container G9 and continue right until you reach the BT65 Control Station laptop sitting on top of some crates. Interact with it to reverse the BT65 and complete the challenge.
Alternative route while saving the G9 hostages
If you would rather fold Full Of Surprises into a normal Central Camp run, you can grab both distractions on the way through the mission. After you free the captives in G9 and exit through the left-hand door, look immediately left for the BT65 laptop on the crates and activate it.
From there, the quickest path to the ATV is to climb onto the roof of container B4, scale the mast, and zipline to the right. That drop lands you in tall grass right beside the ATV, so you can interact with it to push it off the cliff and finish the challenge.
How to confirm it worked
Each distraction registers the moment you interact with it. After the second one, Full Of Surprises ticks off in the challenge tracker. If it does not register, the usual cause is that only one distraction was triggered. Make sure you both reversed the BT65 from its laptop and sabotaged the ATV's brakes, not just one of the two.
Because the checkpoint system here is generous, a missed attempt costs almost nothing. Restart the Central Camp section and run the two interactions again.
Why it matters for the Iceland outfit
Full Of Surprises is the sixth of nine Against the Odds challenges. Clearing all eight unique challenges unlocks the Completionist: Against The Odds challenge, which in turn awards the Iceland outfit for use in TacSim scenarios. The other challenges, including Pacifist, Ghost, No Help Needed, Assault, High Ground, 00 To Become, and Scenic Route, all share the same Central Camp setting, so you can knock several out across two or three replays of the checkpoint rather than restarting the prologue each time.
