Your guide to Mission 5: Crash Site - Confrontation in Perfect Dark (2000). Learn how to activate the distress beacon, defeat the Presidential clone, and rescue the President.

Alright, let's dive into Mission 5, "Crash Site: Confrontation." This one's a bit of a scramble, but we'll get through it. Your main goals here are to get a distress beacon going, take care of a Presidential clone, and then find and rescue the actual President.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Activate distress beacon:

    As soon as you spawn, hug the right wall and keep moving forward. You'll run into two guards pretty quickly. Take them out with headshots – they’re good practice – and grab their ammo. Head left past the guard who was on the left side of the path. You should see the escape capsule. Just walk up to it and press the Action button ([B]) to activate the beacon. Boom, first objective down.

  2. 2
    Retire Presidential clone:

    Turn around from the capsule and stick to the wall on your right this time. Keep following it, taking out any guards you encounter. Look for a small opening in the wall to your right and go through it. This leads to a tunnel entrance. Clear out the guards around here, then head right and down into a cave. It’s dark in here, so whip out your night vision and head into the right side of the cave. You’ll eventually be attacked by some guards. One of them is your target, the Presidential Clone. Take him out to complete the second objective.

  3. 3
    Locate and rescue the President:

    Now, exit the cave and turn around to face it again. This time, take the left path. Follow this left-most route until you reach the surface. You won't need night vision out here, so turn it off. Outside, you'll see some flying robots – take them out. After that, exit the cave, go right, and you’ll spot Trent and the President. Your job here is to shoot Trent, which will make him run off. After that, look around the area for a way out into the main field. Keep an eye out for the bright sun, that’s your cue. Once you're in the field, your priority is to protect the President. Search the middle of the field for Elvis's spaceship. Getting to that spaceship will wrap up this mission and lead you into Mission 6.

Tips
  • Don't forget to grab ammo from the guards you take down, especially early on.
  • Night vision is essential for the cave section, so make sure it's equipped before you go in.
  • Protecting the President in the open field is crucial. Keep an eye on him and be ready to defend him from any threats.
