| MARKED MAN Altered the intro camera to take a look at our guard. |
GoldenEye Homework...
Studying the Bunker 2 mission to learn exactly what's going on.Wanted to figure out the timing of the guard carrying KEYCARD A, to find the optimal point to intercept him and get his access key.
 |
| Also altered the intro text to clearly mark this guy... Obtaining his card is the quickest way out of the building. |
Various playthrus, therefore the guard's face is different.
When the mission starts, the guard begins in the dark "maze" near the drone guns. He begins his patrol, soon walking into the brightly-lit hallway...
 |
| Looking down the hall... At the very end are the stairs leading to the "big Control Room". Ideally, Bond will ambush this guy somewhere in this short stretch, just second later... |
More exploration with the Bond Invisible Cheat turned ON.
Can see exactly where the guard with Keycard A makes his turn away from the main hallway - And why it's so important to get him running at just the right moment.

| Bond Invisible. Playing "Super-Spy": Doing some reconnaissance before playing the mission... |
Once he gets past the next set of doors, it can be difficult to make enough noise (without rousing too many other guards).
Alert him too soon and he'll run back towards the start of the mission, which is even worse.

Luring this guard to the proper spot is pretty much essential to setting a fast time...
The GoldenEye World Record for the Bunker 2 mission on Agent currently stands at 20 seconds!
Less than twenty players in the world have accomplished this feat.
World Records often stand for a few years before they are broken...
In April of 2021, Speedrunner Carl-Magnus Wall managed to set a few new benchmarks in a short timreframe.
With three new records in the span of a week, Wall bested his own time by a single second each time.
(Going from 23 seconds, 22 seconds, 21 seconds, and ultimately hitting 20 seconds on April 27, 2021)
