The Short Fuse trophy (Bronze) requires you to shoot an enemy while they are in the middle of throwing a grenade — interrupting their throw so they drop the live grenade. How to Get the Short Fuse Trophy in 007 First Light Guide.
Here’s a clean, step-by-step guide in table format:
| Step | Action | Details & Tips |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Understand the Requirement | Shoot any enemy during their grenade throwing animation (while the grenade is still in their hand). Hitting them causes them to drop the grenade, usually killing or stunning nearby foes. |
| 2 | Best Farming Location | Load Chapter 10: The Past Never Dies – Checkpoint 11: Ambush. This is by far the easiest and most reliable spot. |
| 3 | Start the Encounter | As soon as you spawn, immediately take cover. Enemies will rush and throw grenades very quickly. |
| 4 | Listen for Audio Cues | Enemies shout lines like “Grenade!” or “Cooking one!” — use this as your warning. |
| 5 | Slow Down Time | Hold the Q-Watch button (slow-motion ability) or aim with Focus to make timing much easier. |
| 6 | Shoot the Thrower | Pop out of cover, aim at the enemy who is winding up to throw, and shoot them before the grenade leaves their hand. One well-placed bullet is enough. |
| 7 | Confirm Unlock | The trophy should pop shortly after the enemy drops the grenade. |
