Following the trail of Agent 009, Bond and Greenway will make their way to Mauritania at the Aleph Black Market. The Black Market is run by a Pirate King named Bawma. As Bond and Greenway make their way through the crowd, they will reach the entry point of Bawma’s auction. This auction is not cheap and requires a $100k auction fee to get in. This becomes one of the initial main objectives of the mission, requiring the players to explore the market for different ways to make money. There are various methods that can earn you thousands of dollars, but there is no individual method that can make you $100k. This guide explains all the methods to get the $100k auction fee in 007 First Light.
How to Get $100k Auction Fee in 007 First Light – All Methods
There are six main ways to make $100k at the Aleph Black Market, so that you can get into Bawma’s auction.
- Fight Pit: $60,000 Payout
- Scorpius Art Deal: $52,000 Payout
- Crypto Wallet: $50,000 Payout
- Jewel of Jahari: $30,000 Payout
- Shooting Range: $30,000 Payout
- Pickpocketing: $3,000 Payout per target
Making $100k for the auction fee at the Aleph Black Market will require you to complete at least two of the methods. The Fight Pit and the Scorpius Art Deal methods are the highest-paying methods available. Moreover, the Jewel of Jahari method is one of the simplest and can earn you $30,000 instantly. Alternatively, you can just pickpocket the guards and civilians around the market, but you have to be careful.

Fight Pit
The Fight Pit offers the most money out of any method. To get to the Fight Pit, head to the southeast side of the auction entrance. Stick to the right-hand side and follow along the path until you spot a shark’s skull hanging over an archway. This is the entrance to the Fight Pit. Before you can sign up as a contestant, you need to eavesdrop on the conversation by the pit. Once done, you can submit yourself as a contestant. After that, Omar will test your fighting skills. Defeat Omar, and you are in the fighting pit.
Here, you have to win three consecutive rounds. The first round is against a normal guy, the second round is against two normal guys, and the final round is against Hammer, the Brute enemy. You must defeat all three of these enemies in the fighting pit to secure $60,000.
Scorpius Art Deal
A mercenary group is at the Aleph Black Market and is conspiring to make an illegal art deal. After leaving the auction house, stick to the left side, and you will spot three soldiers. Eavesdrop on these soldiers to unlock this opportunity. Now, you have to follow these soldiers stealthily to an off-limits area. From here, it is up to you whether you want to sneak in or fight your way through to the objective marker. As you reach the objective marker, pick up the burner phone. Once done, go back to the container, where you eavesdropped on the soldiers.
Speak with the shopkeeper on the left and tell him that you need Smoke Grenades. The Shopkeeper will let you pass ahead. Now, go to the container and find the art at the back. However, this will not be all. The mercenary group will return, and you have to fight all of them. Defeat the group and wait for the buyer to arrive. The buyer will pay you $52,000.
Crypto Wallet
Head to the eating area of the market to get an eavesdrop option for a guy talking on the phone. Hearing the conversation will reveal a crypto deal. Hack the phone of the guy and follow him through the market until he goes into an off-limits area. Distract the guard to get inside the area and look for the crypto guy. To be exact, he will be near a charging station. You need to pickpocket the crypto wallet from the guy. The easiest way to do it is to sabotage the station.
After getting the crypto wallet, make your way to the Aleph Cell Tower. Reaching the tower will require both stealth and combat. However, you can pursue your own gameplay style here. After going through the laundromat and passing through the enemies, you will arrive at the tower. Climb up to the tower and plug in the wallet to get $50,000. Once you are done, you can take the zipline down.
Jewel of Jahari
The Jewel of Jahari is a quick way to earn $30,000, but it requires $3,500 to play the game. To get the money quickly for the game, pickpocket a couple of guards. Now, before you can try the game, you need to speak with Nirmala. You can find her near the auction house. Speak with Nirmala and then go to the objective marker to reach Aadan. Interact with Aadan and pay $3,500 to participate in the game.
Now, while Aadan is shuffling the cups, use the Q-Lens to scan the cups to see through and spot the jewel. Pick the cup with the jewel underneath it to get the jewel. Once done, bring the jewel to Nirmala, and she will pay you $30,000.
Shooting Range
The Shooting Range is another simple way to earn $30,000, but it also costs $3,000 to challenge the highest score. Pickpocket a couple of guards so that you can challenge and try the shooting range. Head to the arena and go over to the weapons on a car. Inspect the weapons and speak with the merchant to learn about the shooting range. Follow the merchant and then speak with Basim. After paying $3,000 to Basim, you will get the chance to defeat the highest score and win $30,000. Hit all 10 targets to complete the range. Make sure that you use the Focus; it will make it easier for you to hit the targets. After completing the challenge, Basim will pay you $30,000.
Pickpocketing
The last and most time-consuming method is pickpocketing the guards and civilians at the market. However, you cannot pickpocket any person you see. Before you pickpocket a target, make sure that they have a purse on them. Use the Q-Lens to scan around, and if there is an orange purse on the waist of the person, you can pickpocket them. To perform the pickpocket, distract the person by any means and press the prompted key.
Conclusion
The Fighting Pit and Scorpius Art Deal are the two methods that give the most money. You can try to complete any of the six methods to secure $100k for the auction fee. The Jewel of Jahari and the Shooting Range are the two simple methods. You do not have to be stealthy or perform combat for either of these methods. It is best that you pursue the Scorpius Art Deal, Jewel of Jahari, and Shooting Range to get over $100k without much fighting. Purchase the 007 First Light Steam Key from LootBar for a great price.
