IO Interactive has not announced official modding tools for 007 First Light, but the PC community has already created a range of useful mods for the Glacier engine. From quality-of-life tweaks to cosmetic overhauls, the modding scene is active and growing. This guide covers the current state of 007 First Light mods, how to install them safely, and the most popular mods available.

How to install mods
Most 007 First Light mods are installed manually to the game's installation directory. For Steam users, navigate to steamapps/common/007 First Light and follow each mod's specific instructions. Mods that modify gameplay files should be backed up first. Use Nexus Mods or the IO Interactive community forums as primary sources. Avoid downloading mods from unverified sites — several have been flagged for malware.
Online play warning
Mods that alter gameplay files may trigger anti-cheat systems in 007 First Light multiplayer. IO Interactive has stated that mods are tolerated in single-player only. Using mods in ranked multiplayer can result in a permanent ban. Always disable mods before launching multiplayer. Single-player Ghost ratings earned with mods installed may not sync to the official leaderboards. The community recommends keeping a clean install for multiplayer and a separate modded install for single-player experimentation.
