007 First Light Scorpius Disguise is one of the most useful items in The Past Never Dies chapter. Scorpius is the private militia running operations in Aleph, Mauritania, and their hideout inside the black market is a heavily guarded zone. Getting into the base wearing their uniform lets Bond walk freely without triggering combat — and it also completes the Soldier Boy challenge at the same time. This guide covers exactly where to find the disguise, how to get inside the hideout, and how to use it effectively.

Which Chapter Is the Scorpius Disguise In?

The Scorpius Disguise is found in The Past Never Dies — the fourth major mission in 007 First Light. This chapter takes Bond and Greenway to the desert black market of Aleph in Mauritania. The mission opens up into one of the game’s most open environments, full of side activities, eavesdropping opportunities, and optional objectives to chase.

The disguise becomes available early in the chapter, specifically during the Black Market story section — right after Bond and Greenway are stopped at the entrance and told they need 100,000 to pay the auction fee. Before you go hunting for that money, the Scorpius Hideout is right there to your right and is worth hitting first.

The game is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Epic Games Store.

What Is the Soldier Boy Challenge?

The Soldier Boy challenge requires you to obtain and wear the Scorpius disguise inside the Scorpius Hideout. It completes automatically the moment you put the uniform on. There is nothing extra to do after that — just wear it and the challenge ticks off.

Beyond the challenge itself, the disguise has real practical value. Once you are dressed as a Scorpius soldier, you can walk freely through the Scorpius-controlled areas of the black market without triggering combat. This makes the disguise a key tool for completing the Pacifist challenge in The Past Never Dies, which requires finishing the mission without taking anyone out. Getting the disguise early in the chapter gives you the best shot at running the whole mission cleanly.

How to Get the Scorpius Disguise in 007 First Light

Here is the full step-by-step process for getting into the hideout and grabbing the disguise.

Step 1: Enter the Black Market and Turn Right

After the cutscene where Bond and Greenway are told about the 100k auction fee, you will descend a ramp into the Aleph black market. As soon as you reach the bottom of the ramp, take an immediate right. Do not follow the main path into the market yet.

Step 2: Eavesdrop on the Two Guards at the Chain-Link Door

You will spot two Scorpius guards standing by a chain-link door. Walk close to them and eavesdrop on their conversation. They talk about a deal and mention a burner phone hidden inside the hideout. Once their conversation ends, James knows he needs to get inside the base to retrieve that phone — and this also sets up the Crypto Wallet sub-objective if you want to pursue it.

Eavesdropping here is important. It is the game’s way of telling you the hideout is worth entering, and it naturally sets up multiple objectives at once.

Step 3: Distract the Guard at the Entrance

Before you can enter the Scorpius base, there is a guard posted at the entrance. You need to get past him without raising an alarm. You have a few options here:

• Use the electrical box to the right side of the container to distract him.
• Use the Dart Phone to daze him.
• Use the Laser Beam gadget to create a distraction.

Pick whichever fits your loadout and approach. Once he is distracted, slip inside the hideout. For help choosing the right gadgets before missions like this, see our 007 First Light best gadget loadout guide and all gadgets guide.

Step 4: Take Down the First Guard Inside

Right as you enter the hideout, there is a guard standing directly in front of you. Crouch-walk up behind him and take him out silently. A quiet takedown here keeps things from escalating before you reach the disguise.

Step 5: Climb the Containers to the Upper Platform

After dealing with the first guard, climb over the containers on the left to reach the upper platform. This elevated position gives you a view of the room below, where the Scorpius disguise is sitting on a table.

Step 6: Clear the Room and Grab the Disguise

The room below has a few guards. Take out the guard on the upper floor first, then make your way down and deal with the remaining two. Once the area is clear, walk over to the table where the disguise is laid out and interact with it to put it on.

The moment you wear the Scorpius disguise, the Soldier Boy challenge completes automatically.

How to Use the Scorpius Disguise in 007 First Light

Once you have the uniform on, Scorpius soldiers throughout the black market will not engage you as a hostile. You can walk through their controlled areas, past patrols, and into sections that would otherwise require stealth or combat. This is the disguise system that IO Interactive perfected in the Hitman games — blending in buys you freedom of movement.

There are some limitations. Guards with a detection circle above their heads are suspicious of you regardless of what you are wearing. Give those individuals a wide berth. Also, if you perform any aggressive actions in front of Scorpius soldiers — taking someone out, drawing a weapon in the open, or triggering an alarm — your cover blows and combat starts.

Use the disguise strategically. Walk calmly, avoid doing anything suspicious near guards who are watching closely, and let the uniform do the work of getting you through the Scorpius sections of the black market.

How the Scorpius Disguise Helps With the Pacifist Challenge

The Pacifist challenge in The Past Never Dies requires completing the mission without taking anyone out. The Scorpius disguise is essential for making this possible in the Scorpius-controlled areas. With the uniform on, you can pass through those sections without needing to fight or perform takedowns.

To get the disguise without knocking anyone out in the first place, you need to be careful about the guards inside the hideout. The best approach for a pure Pacifist run is to stealth through the hideout by climbing the box on the left side when you enter, navigating up the stairs, and heading right to reach the disguise without engaging anyone directly. This way you get the disguise and keep your Pacifist run intact.

If you are going for challenges across the full chapter, our 007 First Light Against the Odds challenges guide shows how the same approach works in the game’s opening mission.

What Else to Do in the Aleph Black Market

The black market in The Past Never Dies is one of the busiest areas in the game. There is a lot to do here beyond just the Scorpius Hideout:

• Crypto Wallet sub-objective — From the black market entrance, head east through a yellow container and take a left. Find the man on the phone and eavesdrop on him to start this side quest. Completing it gets you a chunk of money toward the auction fee and completes the Secure Transaction challenge.
• Cup Game — Find Aadan next to the shoe stall to the right of the Fighting Pit. Pay the entry fee and use the Q-Lens (L1/LB) to track the jewel under the cups. Win and you pocket $30,000.
• Eavesdropping opportunities — Multiple conversations throughout the market reveal useful information and start optional sub-objectives. Use eavesdropping early and often.
• The Antenna section — Later in the chapter, you reach a well-guarded area and need to get to an antenna without alerting or fighting anyone. Guards follow scripted patrol paths that you can time to slip through cleanly.

The chapter has 23 challenges in total. Getting the Scorpius disguise early positions you to tackle a large chunk of them without having to replay the section.
