This page explains alternative strategies for [[Dam]]. This covers strategies that are no longer used, theoretical strategies that are not commonly used, and "negative result" or "debunked" strategies which were theorized to be possible but further investigation has deemed impossible.
== Legacy Strategies ==
Legacy strategies have been replaced with easier or more consistent strategies.
== Non-Standard Strategies ==
These strategies are not commonly used or are theoretical.
== Debunked Strategies ==
=== Lure from modem area ===
The idea is to make enough noise in the modem throw area to do something useful, such as lure guards away. All this does is cause guard clones to spawn then run up the first tower. The vertical lift door to the backup mainframe will have closed long before Bond arrives.
=== Open double gate ===
The idea of having the gates open for you as you reach them. The guard unfortunately is not fast enough to do such a thing, but actually is possible with cheats on (Slow/Fast Animation, Turbo).<ref name="misconceptions">{{cite web | url=https://forums.the-elite.net/index.php?topic=21745.msg444253#msg444253|title=the-elite misconceptions thread}}</ref>
=== Skip the gate button ===
The guard goes through two states before deciding to open the gate, and pressing the button skips one of them. The slightly tighter line is not a time save.<ref name="misconceptions" />
=== Shoot alarms through walls ===
Alarms become unloaded and can only be destroyed by an explosive, not available without cheats.<ref name="misconceptions" />
=== Explode alarm from below ===
Slower route, though possibly reduces lag more than normal. There's a barrel down there which when destroyed from its top damages an alarm, but it's not enough to fully destroy it.<ref name="misconceptions" />
