To throw a gun in 007 First Light , aim first, then use the weapon-throw input when your gun is empty and you’re close enough to a target. One Reddit tip says that on PS5 it’s L2 + Triangle with an empty weapon and fairly close range.

How it works

The game encourages swapping weapons constantly, and throwing your gun is part of that rhythm when you run dry. A guide also notes that Bond’s guns run out of ammo quickly, so tossing the weapon can be a practical last move in close encounters.

Quick steps

  1. Empty the weapon or get near the point where the throw becomes available.
  1. Hold aim.
  1. Use the throw button for your platform.
  1. Stay close to the enemy so the throw connects reliably.

Platform note

The exact button may vary by platform, but the PS5 example reported by players is hold L2, then press Triangle. If you’re on another system, the same in- game action should map to the platform’s weapon-throw control.

Why people mention it

Players and writers keep bringing this up because it fits the game’s style: guns are treated as disposable, and throwing one becomes a fast, messy close- range option. That makes it less of a “special move” and more of a smart backup when you’ve already burned through ammo.

TL;DR: Aim, get close, and use the weapon-throw input with an empty gun; on PS5, players report L2 + Triangle.
