This page explains unworkable strategies for [[Surface 1]] from [[GoldenEye 007]]. This includes strategies that are not technically possible, strategies that the community has deemed infeasible or impossible with current knowledge, and TAS ideas that did not work out.
== Unworkable Strategies ==
=== Shooting locks through trees / from distance ===
This is used in TAS runs. For example, shooting locks [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKxmflh5pf0 through trees], and shooting a lock [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyvCVN9uijg after exiting] the tree line. However, this is not recommended for human runs. Looking up will probably cost some frames. Shooting will generate a small amount of lag with very little chance of success. On competitively paced runs, the lock sequence takes ~ 3 seconds, and trying to deviate from rote memory -- by one or at most two bullets -- in one in 100? runs -- will probably be detrimental toward a completion. Historical note: shooting through trees has been done on runs<ref>{{cite web | url=https://forums.the-elite.net/index.php?topic=20716.msg430413#msg430413|title=the-elite forum post "Surface 1 Agent = BROKEN (kind of) (shoot locks through the trees!)"|author=RWG|access-date=July 26, 2021}}</ref> ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzwM1J8xIkg video]), but is not recommended now.
