Operative

• The current World Record is 1:07, held by Ben "Cygnus" Goldberg and Ben Southward.

Run up the first set of stairs and jump to your right over the second set. Shoot the guard and run through the door. Reload and take out your Q-Claw for quick use later. Quickly open, enter, and close the elevator doors. Take out your DartGun and make a right when the door opens. Open the doors to the kitchen and jump onto the counter. Jump over to the next counter, jump off, and go through the door on the right.

Shoot the first guard, jump over the laser, and shoot the second guard before he activates the alarm. Shoot the guard through the window and jump through it. Take out your Q-Claw and look at the ceiling of the next floor up. Hook onto the grapple point and pull yourself up. Change to your fists as you go left and jump through the window. Enter and exit the first door on your right. Go forward and enter the next door on your right. Punch the enemy twice and pick up the keycard he drops.

Go back and activate the computer. Go back to the room where you got the keycard and go through the door where you killed the enemy. Jump down to your left and shoot the guard. Run through and jump over the laser. Shoot the guard in front of you if you see him and he sees you. Quickly enter the elevator and go down. When the doors open, go to your left and follow the hallway. Jump down and open the doors, shooting the guard in your way as you run through.

Target Time: 1:07 - 1:11

Agent

• The current World Record is 1:09, held by Ben "Cygnus" Goldberg.

There are only a few differences between this run and an operative run. First off, do not shoot the guard through the window that shoots at you. Ignore him and use your Q-Claw like normal.

Second thing, when you go down and get out the elevator right before the end, instead of just turning left and proceeding to the door, you must look to your right and shoot the guard. He should pop out just as you turn to look for him. If you don't shoot him, he'll see you and activate the alarm.

Lastly, since you should be out of darts at this time, when you run through the door, slip past the guard and finish the level.

Target Time: 1:08 - 1:15

00 Agent

• The current World Record is 1:20, held by Ben "Cygnus" Goldberg.

Start out normally until you reach the hallway with two guards and the third one outside of the window. Punch the first one in the back before he turns around. Switch back to your DartGun and continue like usual. Before you fight the enemy with the keycard, open the door to your left and pick up the extra darts. Use your fists like usual to defeat the enemy and head back to the computer. Activate it.

Instead of heading back to the room where you picked up the keycard, jump through the window from where you originally came. Jump down the balcony and head back the way you came from. After you take the elevator down, look to your right and quickly shoot the guard that tries to activate the alarm. Head to your left and finish the level, shooting the guard with one of your two darts left.

Target Time: 1:12 - 1:20
