Everything you need before, during, and after your first playthrough on Steam.

Guides Hub

Welcome to the Agent 64: Spies Never Die guides hub. Replicant D6’s retro spy FPS launched on Steam (App ID 1574480) on August 11, 2026, and this section collects practical, search-friendly guides for the full 14-mission campaign, three difficulty tiers, Paradox Mode modifiers, and both split-screen and online co-op. Whether you are installing the game for the first time or returning to chase 64 Agent objectives, start here and branch into the sub-guides below.

Where to begin

New players should open Getting Started first. That page covers day-one setup on PC, choosing between Agent, Special Agent, and 64 Agent, and how the campaign structure differs from modern military shooters. It also explains when to bring a co-op partner and where to find mission-specific help in the Walkthrough section.

If you already know the basics, jump straight to Controls & Settings for keybinds, sensitivity, and display options tuned to the game’s hip-fire combat loop. Difficulty planning belongs on Difficulty Modes, which breaks down how extra objectives and map routes unlock at higher tiers. Once you hit act gates mid-campaign, open Cyphers & Progression — it explains why replays on Special Agent and 64 Agent are mandatory, not optional grind.

What these guides cover

Agent 64 is inspired by GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark, but it is its own game with distinct systems. Our guides focus on mechanics you will actually use in missions:

  • Objective-driven levels — hacking terminals, rescuing hostages, planting trackers, and stealing classified plans while Dominic Pulp’s forces push back.
  • Retro combat rhythm — auto-aim assistance, weapon sway, throwable gadgets, and repositioning instead of constant ADS.
  • Difficulty as content — higher modes add objectives and areas rather than only inflating enemy health.
  • Co-op workflows — local split-screen for two players and online co-op for up to four agents sharing the same mission checklist.
  • Post-campaign goals — par times, trials, and Paradox Mode with 70+ cheats and modifiers covered in the walkthrough hub.
  • Stealth and disguises — mission-phase undercover work, silencers, and when to holster weapons on Disguises & Stealth.
  • One-life survival — no checkpoints, sparse body armor pickups, and restart discipline on Body Armor & Survival.

Guides vs walkthrough vs tier list

This hub stays focused on how the game works. Mission-by-mission routing, objective checklists, and par-time targets live under Campaign Walkthrough. Weapon power, gadget utility, and loadout priorities are ranked in the Weapons Tier List and catalogued on All Weapons & Gadgets.

Cross-linking between those sections is intentional. A 64 Agent run on the Luxury Liner might require gadgets you skipped in early missions; the tier list tells you which tools justify the inventory slot. Likewise, co-op players splitting objectives on Harbor need the control basics from Controls & Settings so both agents can hack and cover simultaneously.

  1. Getting Started — install, first hour, difficulty choice.
  2. Controls & Settings — binds, aim assist, audio cues.
  3. Difficulty Modes — Agent vs Special Agent vs 64 Agent.
  4. Cyphers & Progression — act gates and replay strategy.
  5. Disguises & Stealth — undercover segments and silencer play.
  6. Body Armor & Survival — one-life rules and armor routing.
  7. Campaign Overview — all 14 missions at a glance.
  8. Weapons Tier List — what to carry into harder missions.

Multiplayer and Paradox content

Although PvP (Deathmatch, Briefcase, Zone) and Challenge bot matches are not duplicated page-for-page here, the guides explain systems that carry over. Paradox modifiers unlocked through trials affect both solo replays and custom lobbies. If you are building a house rules preset with friends, read Difficulty Modes first so you understand which modifiers stack cleanly with objective-heavy missions.

Keeping guides current

Agent 64 received extensive community testing through demos and Steam Next Fest before launch. If Replicant D6 patches balance, co-op sync, or controller support, we update these guides at the JSON source and regenerate MDX. Found an error or a new optimal route on Train? Cross-check the relevant walkthrough page — guides explain systems; walkthroughs name the clicks.

Bookmark this hub if you are coaching a friend through co-op or returning for Paradox Contracts after finishing the story. The wiki is built for players who want N64-era spy fantasy with modern Steam convenience, and these guides are the fastest path from menu to mission complete.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Getting Started explains local split-screen for two players and online co-op for up to four agents. Mission tactics for shared objectives are in the walkthrough section.

Where is Paradox Mode explained?

Difficulty Modes covers how trials unlock Paradox cheats. The dedicated Paradox Contracts walkthrough page lists modifier categories and recommended solo or co-op uses.

Are guides separate from the weapons tier list?

Guides teach systems and habits. The tier list ranks firearms and gadgets for campaign and multiplayer. Both link to each other where loadout choices matter.
