TOYMAKER’S WORKSHOP
USING WEAPONS AND GADGETS
You will have access to a wide variety of weapons and gadgets as you play through
the game. Typically, you will have access to between five and eight items per
mission. To select a different item from your inventory, press either the Next
Weapon or Previous Weapon key and then hit Fire to equip your selection.
Taking the time to equip yourself appropriately at the beginning of a mission can
have a significant effect on gameplay. For example, a stealthy player will utilise a
variety of silenced weapons and gadgets such as the Camera Disabler or the
Robotic Poodle. A player less focused on stealth may select a variety of explosive
devices. As the game progresses, more and more items will become available.
In addition, most weapons and some gadgets support different functions. For
example, the Shepherd Arms P38 9mm accepts several ammunition types which
alter the effectiveness of the weapon against certain targets.
Also, certain gadgets have multiple modes of operation, such as the Barrette’s
lock-pick and weapon modes. Use the Next Function key to cycle between the
various modes or ammo types available for the currently-selected item.
WEAPONS AND GADGETS LIST
Below is a summary of some of the items you’ll encounter, as well as the mods
and ammunition available for each:
Shepherd Arms P38 9mm
This 9mm semi-automatic pistol was used extensively by Allied covert
operatives during World War II. It is easily concealed and very reliable. It
has a 10-round magazine and can be fitted with a silencer. Standard
Ammo: 9mm Full Metal Jacket ammunition.
Petri .38 Airweight Revolver
Agent Archer’s signature weapon is a small, lightweight .38 calibre fiveshot revolver. While admittedly a bit slow on the reload, it can readily
accommodate a variety of ammunition types. It’s also easy to conceal.
Standard Ammo: .38 calibre Full Metal Jacket ammunition.
13
Hampton MPL 9mm SMG
Code Breaker
A vicious little 9mm sub-machine gun. Elegantly simple and hardy.
Standard Ammo: 9mm Full Metal Jacket ammunition.
Attaches to a 10-button keypad and runs through number combinations in
order to decipher security codes. The more sophisticated the device, the
longer it will take to break the code.
AK-47 Assault Rifle
Standard Eastern Bloc military-issue assault rifle. Renowned for its simple
design and rugged construction. It is reliable and easy to maintain. It uses a 30round magazine. Standard Ammo: .45 calibre Automatic Colt Pistol ammunition.
Coin
M79 Grenade Launcher
Barrette
Standard-issue U.S. Army 40mm grenade launcher. Rugged and reliable.
Takes High Explosive rocket-propelled grenades which explode upon impact.
A fashionable plastic barrette which can be fitted with two separate
functions. Use the Next Function key to cycle through the Barrette’s modes.

Carbine is one of the world’s only truly silent firearms. Standard Ammo:
.45 calibre Automatic Colt Pistol ammunition.
Sunglasses
These perfectly ordinary-looking sunglasses can be fitted with three unique
functions. Use the Next Function key to cycle through the various modes.
Standard zoomable spy camera module for sunglasses. This function
will allow you to zoom in and take pictures of faraway events.
A mine detection module that can be installed on sunglasses.
You will need to use this device to navigate difficult minefields
found within the game.
An infrared spectrograph module that can be installed on
sunglasses. Use this mode to detect hidden lasers.
Camera Disabler
14
A nifty device that, when mounted on a security camera, creates looping footage
of the scene from the camera’s perspective, thereby neutralizing it. Unfortunately,
this device can only be used on cameras directly within your reach!
When thrown, a coin can distract an unwary enemy, giving you an
opportunity to sneak past.
A retractable lock-pick attachment ideal for bypassing certain
keyed padlocks. Of course, the more complicated the
mechanism, the longer it will take to pick. Note that the
Barrette only works on padlocks with keyholes.
In its secondary mode, the Barrette functions as a poisoned
melee weapon.
Cigarette Lighter
A basic cigarette lighter which can be fitted with two functions. Use the
Next Function key to cycle through the Lighter’s modes.
A Lighter. Useful for lighting cigarettes or starting fires.
A miniaturized welder attachment that can be used to cut through
some metal locks. Look for locks with dials instead of keyholes.
Lipstick Impact Explosive
A deadly explosive disguised as woman’s lipstick. It detonates on impact
when thrown.
15
Perfume Sleeping Gas
Scopes
This attractive perfume bottle dispenses powerful sleeping gas capable of
incapacitating an adult moose, let alone the standard, garden-variety
hoodlum. Be careful not to use this item on enemies too near or you may
find yourself asleep next to your enemy!
A scope will allow you to zoom in for a closer view of a distant target. Different scopes
have different zoom lengths and several feature multiple zooms. In addition, some scopes
enable night vision. Use the Zoom In and Zoom Out keys to adjust the zoom level.
Decay Powder
Gear items are special power-ups that you may either select at the beginning of a mission
or collect while on a mission. The following gear items are available in the game:
This powder rapidly dissolves non-living tissue—an excellent way to hide
bodies from guards and cameras.
Holster Weapon
Select this option to put away your weapon. Your karate chop is only
effective against adversaries that are not alert. You can take them down
with one chop to the neck. Note that you may also quickly hide your
weapon with the Holster Weapon key.
Fire Extinguisher
Fire extinguisher gear will protect you from burn damage caused by
phosphorous rounds, scalding steam and other heat sources.
Earplugs
These earplugs will reduce concussion damage caused by explosions.
AMMUNITION TYPES:
SCUBA Gear
To cycle through available ammunition types for a weapon, you will need to rely
upon the Next Function key.
During prolonged underwater missions, you will need SCUBA gear to provide
you with a steady oxygen supply.
Full Metal Jacket Ammunition
Fuzzy Slippers
Standard Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition. Good penetration but only
modest stopping power.
In addition to serving as a bold fashion statement, these Fuzzy Slippers will
also reduce movement noise by half.
Dum Dum Ammunition
Bandages
Dum dums are rounds that have been modified to expand upon impact,
thereby inflicting greater damage. Unfortunately they are less effective
against armored targets, so use them wisely.
Always keep bandages handy to reduce bleeding damage caused by dum
dum rounds.
Body Armor
Phosphorous Ammunition
You won’t have the opportunity to heal while on a mission, so you’ll need to
rely on body armor to protect yourself from damage. Be warned that certain
types of damage will ignore armor completely, such as that sustained from
falling or running out of oxygen. Note: Can only be picked up during missions.
Phosphorous-coated tracer rounds which continue to burn upon impact and
damage soft targets.
WEAPON MODIFICATIONS:
Silencers
When attached to a weapon, a silencer greatly reduces the muzzle noise, making it
easier to kill without causing an uproar and alerting nearby enemies.
16
GEAR:
UNITY Ammo Boxes
Keep an eye out for ammunition boxes. Each can contain various
ammunition types. Once the box is empty, it will disappear. Note: Can only
be picked up during missions.

AGENT TRAINING
Below you will find a list of tips valuable to all UNITY operatives.
BASIC TRAINING
20
It’s often advisable to move as quietly as possible to avoid detection. The faster
you move, the louder your footsteps will be. By walking or moving in a crouch, you
reduce the amount of noise you make. Also, certain materials dampen sound better
than others. For example, carpet or turf are generally preferable to tile or linoleum.
Walking into a public area with a weapon drawn is likely to cause a commotion.
Unless you want to draw attention to yourself, make sure you put away firearms and
other obvious weapons before approaching civilians. Once they’re distressed, they
probably won’t talk to you, so you might miss out on useful information or advice.
Use the Holster Weapon key to conceal your weapon rapidly. If your weapon is
already holstered, hitting this key will draw the last weapon you had out.
Be careful not to injure civilians! If you kill an innocent bystander, you will fail in
your mission. You will also fail if three or more bystanders are slain by enemy fire.
If you’re ever in doubt, look at your crosshair. It will change to indicate the person
you’re targeting is friendly (see section on crosshairs).
If you’re not sure what to expect around a corner, it is generally safe to step out for
a moment to see what’s up ahead. As long as you duck back quickly, you probably
won’t be spotted. Of course the closer you are to an enemy the more likely it is
that you’ll be seen, so listen for footsteps or conversation before leaving cover.
Your torch is an effective tool but it can also give away your position. Try not to let
enemies see the beam.
While on a mission, always keep an eye out for miscellaneous intelligence items
including letters, packages, film canisters and briefcases. The more you recover,
the better your mission rating will be.
Keep an eye out for explosive barrels in the various areas. Shooting these red
barrels will result in large explosions, which can take out defensive positions or
distract guards from their regular duty.
Enemies will occasionally show up in cars. To take them out quickly, shoot at the
vehicle’s petrol cap.
Most weapons will allow you to shoot through glass, with the exception of some
types of bullet-proof glass. Hiding in a building and sniping through a window can be
an effective way to take down the enemy. If you shoot through the glass enough
times, it may eventually explode into harmless glass shards.
Sneaky enemy agents may sometimes hide secret rooms behind ordinary objects.
Take special note when your Activate crosshair appears over an ordinary looking
object. Activate or Use the object and watch what happens! In addition, Intelligence
Items you find within the level may provide a clue to the location of hidden areas.
WEAPONS & GADGETS TACTICS
Make sure to outfit yourself appropriately before embarking on a new mission. UNITY
may require you to take certain items or weapons they suspect will be needed during
the operation but you will generally have the opportunity to modify your arsenal
according to your personal preferences (see Single Player Menus section).
Once you have acquired a new weapon, ammunition type, gadget or gear item, you
will generally have access to it from then on, even if you return to an earlier
mission. In fact, you will frequently discover that you cannot retrieve all the
available intelligence in a mission the first time you attempt it. Only by later
returning to the mission with new gadgets can you earn a perfect score.
The Next Function key is very important. With it, you can cycle through the available
ammunition types for a given weapon. More importantly, it cycles through a
gadget’s various functions. For example, it allows you to toggle between the
Barrette’s lock-pick and weapon modes.
The more rapidly you move, the worse your accuracy becomes. You can group your shots
more tightly by standing still but the trade-off is that you become an easier target for
your enemies. When the Dynamic Crosshair option is enabled in the menu, your
crosshair will change in size to reflect your accuracy. The larger it is, the worse your aim.
Learn to monitor your ammunition. Reload your weapon between battles to make
sure you don’t run empty at inopportune moments.
21
You can shoot through certain walls and objects. Of course, doing so may affect
the accuracy, range and velocity of the shot, but it’s sometimes preferable to
dispatch an enemy before he sees you. Keep an eye out for these materials.
A man who knows he’s about to die tends to make a good deal more noise than
one who expires unexpectedly. Therefore, learn to dispatch enemies while they’re
unaware. Cries of pain are likely to cause a commotion.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
There are several important things to know about security cameras. Firstly, as
tempting as it may be, don’t destroy them if you can help it. Whoever is monitoring
the security system is likely to send someone to investigate or may even sound an
alarm if any of the cameras go out. Instead, try to avoid them altogether. If the light
on a camera starts flashing yellow, it means you’ve been detected and the camera
is attempting to focus on you. Duck out of sight before you’re identified as a threat.
If you’re close enough to the camera, you’ll actually hear it focusing. Listen for it to
resume scanning before stepping back into view. Finally, make sure not to leave any
bodies lying in view of a camera. That’s just as bad as being spotted.
Searchlights are best avoided. Shooting them out is likely to cause every bit as
much commotion as being caught in the beam. Figure out their movement patterns
before attempting to bypass them. Once you are caught in a searchlight beam, it
will track you mercilessly until you leave the area completely.
On night missions, you’ll frequently run into drowsy guards. Watch them carefully to
see if they rouse. If so, you can probably time your movements to make sure
they’re not stirring as you’re passing by.
If you are spotted by dogs, they will begin to bark, which may alert nearby guards to
your presence. Therefore dogs are best avoided until you obtain access to the
Robotic Poodle later in the game.
You will occasionally be called upon for underwater missions. You can typically
remain in small bodies of water as long as you monitor your oxygen supply but for
deep-sea diving, you will need SCUBA gear.
Enemy outposts may be protected with hidden explosive mines. Avoid these areas
until you obtain the Sunglasses’ Mine Detector.
22
Enemy helicopters are more vulnerable in areas such as the rotor. You may also
aim for door gunners to take down these pesky and deadly foes.
USING VEHICLES
Although you cannot use weapons while riding a motorcycle, you’re not completely
vulnerable. Ramming an enemy at speed is an effective way to clear a path.
If you reach an impassable gate or other obstacle while on a vehicle, you’ll probably
have to get off and deal with the situation. Once the obstacle has been overcome,
you can jump back on the vehicle to continue.
MULTIPLAYER TACTICS
No One Lives Forever provides two modes of play: Standard Deathmatch mode
and H.A.R.M. vs. UNITY.
Deathmatch
The object of a Deathmatch is simple: kill or be killed. Use any and all weapons
and gadgets available on the map to obliterate other players and get the most
“frags”. Whoever has the most “frags” at the end of the level wins.
To survive in Deathmatch, remember to keep moving. A stationary target is
just begging to be shot.
Learn which weapons are best to use in certain situations. For instance, the
Bacalov Corrector may be deadly at a distance but in close quarters, its slow
reload time is no match for an AK-47.
H.A.R.M. vs. UNITY
In H.A.R.M. vs. UNITY games, the objective is to capture as much intelligence for
your team as possible. At the start of each level, one intelligence item will appear
somewhere in each team’s base. Your team’s goal is to sneak into the enemy
base, find the intelligence item and then photograph it with your Sunglasses. Once
an intelligence item is photographed, it will disappear for 30 seconds before
reappearing somewhere within the same base. For each successful capture you
make, both yourself and your team will earn points. You will also gain a point for
yourself and your team by killing an enemy agent. When the level ends, the team
with the most points wins.
23
Remember that this is a TEAM game. In order to win, you must have both offensive
and defensive strategies.
Use the ZOOM feature on your Sunglasses to capture intelligence items from a
distance. But beware, you are more vulnerable in zoomed mode as you cannot see
what’s going on around you.
Sunglasses are usually found close to your team’s spawn points. Be sure to pick
them up before you leave your base!
Watch for Zip-chord targets on ceilings and walls. These may provide access to
better weapons, sniper points or alternate access into an enemy base.
When your team’s intelligence item is captured, make sure you find the next one
quickly in order to set up your defences before the enemy arrives.
UNITY FILES
INTRODUCTION
Get ready to assume the role of Agent Cate Archer, a beautiful but deadly Operative
working for UNITY—a super-secret international organisation dedicated to protecting
humanity from megalomaniacs bent upon world domination. As matters of such
delicacy aren’t the sort of thing UNITY usually entrusts to a woman, Archer has
thus far been relegated to menial work out of harm’s way.
Ironically, Archer’s lucky break comes as a devastating blow to UNITY when an
assassin, identified as the notorious Dmitri Volkov, liquidates over half of UNITY’s
active undercover operatives around the globe in the space of a week. Volkov, it
seems, has ties to a little-known organisation calling itself H.A.R.M. How H.A.R.M.
obtained such intimate knowledge of UNITY’s clandestine affairs remains a
troubling enigma.
When Archer and her mentor, Bruno Lawrie, depart for Morocco to protect a
holidaying American Ambassador who has been marked for death, little do they
know that they are stumbling into a deadly trap that will set an intricate, insidious
plot into motion. Can Archer thwart this plot before it’s too late? Is there a traitor in
UNITY’s ranks? And what exactly does “H.A.R.M.” stand for, anyway?
It is up to you to unravel these mysteries and thwart a conspiracy that threatens
the entire free world.
UNITY PROFILES
Welcome to UNITY—a super-secret anti-terrorist organisation dedicated to ridding
the world of outlawed megalomaniacs and murderous zealots.

Cate Archer
Cate Archer is exceedingly competent, fiercely
intelligent and stunningly attractive. Perhaps because
she has had to work so much harder for recognition
and advancement than her male colleagues, she is a
sharper, more intuitive agent. Of course, while her
impeccable record has earned the respect and
admiration of many of her fellow agents, in others it
has merely fostered deeper resentment, probably
compounded by the fact that she is stubbornly
inaccessible in social situations. However, even her
rivals admit that she is a dedicated, loyal agent who
never balks at danger. She has an uncanny gift for
reading people and is also highly attuned to her
environment, often registering details or patterns that
others overlook.
BACKGROUND
Born in Scotland in late March, 1942, Cate came screaming into the world after
more than 20 hours of labour. Her mother, a notoriously fragile woman, never
recovered. Three weeks later, she died.
26
Cate enjoyed a privileged childhood. However, Cate’s father had relied heavily upon
his wife to keep him sober and frugal. In her absence, he gradually whittled away
his health and his inheritance until the family was destitute. One May evening in
1954, Cate’s father put a pistol to his head and pulled the trigger. Cate went from
an orphanage to various foster homes but she never lasted anywhere for long. She
had become an unruly, angry young woman and took to thieving, partially to provide
for herself and partially because she found it rewarding. It wasn’t long before she
realised that she was exceptionally good at it.
In the space of several years, she went from a scrawny, impoverished waif to a
successful, prosperous young criminal. Although she made a point never to steal
from people of modest means, she did not pretend that her activities were without
consequence. Still, the thrill and satisfaction, not to mention monetary recompense
that she earned from her adventures was all the rationale she needed to continue
her budding career in crime.
In 1958, however, her life changed again when she attempted to pilfer a stranger’s
wallet. This stranger, Bruno Lawrie, caught her and reprimanded her but she still
managed to escape with his watch. What she didn’t know was that he was an
agent working for UNITY, an international agency charged with combating terrorism
around the globe, and that his watch had a built-in tracking device. When she got
home, he was waiting for her. Admiring her talent and fearlessness, he decided to
give her a future. Now, nine years later, she is a covert operative for UNITY.

CLEAN UP YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE
RUNNING THE GAME
Before you install any software, it is critical that your hard drive be in proper
working order. We recommend that you perform regular “house keeping” by running
ScanDisk and Disk Defragmenter.
• ScanDisk searches your hard drive for any lost data.
• Disk Defragmenter ensures that your data is sorted properly. Failure to verify
this may result in corrupt data.
1. To run ScanDisk, click on the START button from the Taskbar.
2. From the Start menu, select RUN.
3. In the Run dialog box, type scandisk and click OK.
4. Once the program starts, ensure that you have selected THOROUGH in the
Type of test section. The process will take a while to complete but the results
are well worth the time invested. Make sure there is a check mark in the
AUTOMATICALLY FIX ERRORS box and select the hard drive you are installing
the game to (e.g., C:).
5. Once everything is set up correctly, click START to have the program scan the
drive and correct any errors.
6. Next, run Disk Defragmenter. Click START from the Taskbar.
7. From the Start menu, select RUN.
8. In the Run dialog box, type defrag and click OK.
9. As with ScanDisk, select the drive you are installing the game to and click OK.
This process will also take some time, but is again worth the effort to ensure a
trouble free installation of your game.

WHAT IS DIRECTX™?
Read this section completely before playing No One Lives Forever or installing DirectX.
DirectX is part of Windows® 95 and 98. It allows Windows to access certain parts
of your PC at high speed, to allow you to run today’s games. As new technology is
introduced, such as next generation 3D Accelerators and 3D soundcards, DirectX
evolves to support these new technologies. No One Lives Forever requires DirectX
7.0, which is included on the game disc for you to install if necessary.
In order to operate correctly, DirectX may need to update the software drivers for
your video card, sound card, or 3D accelerator. Using drivers that do not have
DirectX 7.0 support may result in display or audio problems in No One Lives
Forever.
During the installation of DirectX 7.0, your video card, sound card and 3D
accelerator card drivers will be checked for compatibility. If possible, the DirectX 7.0
installer will update any incompatible drivers automatically. However, if you have a
very new piece of hardware in your system, or a lesser-known model, you may need
to contact the manufacturer of the component for the latest software drivers with
DirectX 7.0 support.
Important Note: During the installation of DirectX 7.0, the Setup program
detects whether or not your drivers can be updated successfully. If the driver
being replaced has not been tested or replacing the driver is known to cause
problems, the Setup program warns you accordingly. We recommend you abide
by these warnings.
32
How do I install DirectX 7.0?
When you install No One Lives Forever, your system will be scanned for DirectX. If
the correct version is not detected, you will be prompted to install DirectX 7.0 from
the No One Lives Forever CD. We recommend you follow the advice given by the
Setup program.
If you want to install DirectX 7.0 after installing No One Lives Forever:
1. Click START on your Windows taskbar, highlight FIND and click FILES OR
FOLDERS.
2. In the NAMED box, type dxsetup
3. Ensure the LOOK IN box is set to the drive letter of your CD-ROM (e.g. D:) drive,
then click FIND NOW.
4. When the file appears, double click on the dxsetup icon in the Name column.
5. When the DXSetup window appears, click Reinstall DirectX to complete the
process.
Check your system!
To check if your computer fully supports DirectX 7.0, run the DirectX Diagnostics
Tool after installing DirectX7.0.
1. Click START on your Windows taskbar. Then click RUN.
2. From the Run dialog box, type dxdiag then click OK
The DirectX Diagnostics Tool gives you information on your video card, sound card
and 3D accelerator card drivers.
• To check your video card drivers, click on the DISPLAY tab, or the DISPLAY 1 tab
if you have one.
• To check your sound card drivers, click on the SOUND tab.
• Some 3D accelerators have their own tab, called DISPLAY 2, so you may need
to check this also.
On each of these screens, the Drivers section tells you if Microsoft has certified
your driver as supporting DirectX 7.0.
• If your driver is reported as ‘Certified: Yes’ your device has DirectX 7.0 support
and should work properly with No One Lives Forever.
33
•
•
If your driver is reported as ‘Certified: No’ your device does not have DirectX 7.0
support and you may experience problems running No One Lives Forever. Please
consult the notes section at the bottom of the DirectX Diagnostic Tool window.
Windows 98 users may also consult the TROUBLESHOOT button, accessed
from the MORE HELP tab. Normally, updated drivers that support DirectX7.0
will be available from the manufacturer of the device in question, which will
allow you to play No One Lives Forever without any problems. In this case, we
suggest you contact the manufacturer of the device, and request the latest
DirectX 7.0 compatible drivers. These are normally available free of charge
from the manufacturer’s web-site, or via their technical support help-line.
