In Tier 2 of Advanced Close Combat Training Escalation in 007 First Light's TacSim Challenge, the game tasks you with performing the "Rush over an edge" movement challenge.

The game tells you to do it, but it barely tells you how to do it, which has left many players confused on what to do. And honestly, it's confusing, which sucks since the movement challenge scores you an achievement trophy.

Wondering how to do it? Here's how.

How to Rush Over an Edge in 007 First Light

Before we get down to the specifics, we need to clear up one major confusion: the difference between a ledge and an edge.

An edge is a gap with a fall, while a ledge is a surface or foundation that is meant to protect you from the gap. To complete the challenge, you need to rush enemies so that they fall into the gap instead of tossing them over the ledge.

Now that we've got that out of the way, let's discuss how to actually rush over an edge.

To rush at an enemy, hold R2/RT and do not let go as you take them down. As Bond runs up to the enemy, this will cause Him to grip the enemy. If done correctly, he will force both of them to fall over an edge, and the enemy will be used as a shield to absorb the fall.
