The dish penetrates through the bunker's ceiling, which Natalya uses to climb out to safety.
- Xenia Onatopp
A deadly assassin and Alec Trevelyan's henchwoman.
- General Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov
A corrupt General who betrayed his government. Not much is known about his agreements with Alec Trevelyan, but was basically used as a pawn and was never likely to be kept alive after Alec's plan succeeded.

Missions
| File:GE Dam.jpg | Mission 1: Arkangelsk, Part I: Byelomorye Dam MI6 has confirmed the existence of a secret chemical warfare facility at the Byelomorye dam, USSR. Its heavily guarded location and workings are a cause for major concern. Nerve gas produced there has been turning up in the hands of hostile regimes around the world and deals with international terrorists have been rumored. This facility should be destroyed with extreme prejudice. |
| File:GE Facility.jpg | Mission 1: Arkangelsk, Part II: Chemical Warfare Facility Inside the chemical weapons facility you should quickly and efficiently proceed to the bottling area and place demolition charges on the main gas tanks. Political considerations demand that collateral damage in minimized on this mission. Non military personnel should be disregarded. |
| File:GE Runway.jpg | Mission 1: Arkangelsk, Part III: Chemical Warfare Facility Runway A service Runway is the obvious escape route from the Arkangelsk chemical weapons facility. |
| File:GE Surface.jpg | Mission 2: Severnaya, Part I: Severnaya Installation, Siberian Plateau A spy satellite has detected increased levels of activity at an old observatory complex near Severnaya (62.08n, 102.58e) in Russia. |
| File:GE Bunker.jpg | Mission 2: Severnaya, Part II: Satellite Control Bunker A spy satellite has detected increased levels of activity at an old observatory complex near Severnaya (62.08n, 102.58e) in Russia. Other sources have confirmed the shipment of a large amount of computer hardware to that location, and an influx of skilled personnel. |
| File:GE Silo.jpg | Mission 3: Kirghizstan, Part I: Silo MI6 has become concerned that unscheduled test firings from a missile silo in Kirghizstan are being used to cover the launch of Goldeneye weapons satellites. Deep intelligence reports suggest that this operation may well be outside the control of the former Soviet powers in the region. |
| File:GE Frigate.jpg | Mission 4: Monte Carlo, Part I: Frigate 'La Fayette' A demonstration of the Pirate stealth helicopter by the French military has been unexpectedly postponed. Official channels insist that nothing is wrong but unofficially MI6 has been asked to help salvage a very tricky hostage situation on board the frigate La Fayette. It seems that the Janus crime syndicate will stop at nothing in its attempt to hijack the helicopter. |
| File:GE Surface2.jpg | Mission 5: Severnaya, Part I: Severnaya Installation, Siberian Plateau The Pirate helicopter was tracked to Severnaya, where a Keyhole-1 ELINT satellite recorded a brief firefight. After the Pirate left, the same satellite observed a troop helicopter being made ready at a Spetznaz camp, 200 miles due south. The only way that we can get you there quickly is to drop you from a spy plane, and the Soviet Special Forces will be there before you. |
| File:GE Bunker2.jpg | Mission 5: Severnaya, Part II: Satellite Control Bunker 2 Escape is the first priority. Find the staff and casualty lists, and the CCTV tape of your capture. If there are any witnesses, try and bring them out as well. |
| File:GE Statue.jpg | Mission 6: St. Petersburg, Part I: Statue Park Following the Severnaya incident, MI6 has lost track of the Pirate helicopter. Presumably, the bugging device has been located and destroyed. Natalya Simonova, who returned to St. Petersburg against our advice, has gone missing. We can only assume that she has been abducted by the Janus Syndicate in a belated attempt to cover their tracks. |
| File:GE Archives.jpg | Mission 6: St. Petersburg, Part II: Military Intelligence Archives Captured by the Russians, Bond must escape their military prison. |
| File:GE Streets.jpg | Mission 6: St. Petersburg, Part III: St. Petersburg Streets After escaping KGB interrogation at the military archives, Natalya has been recaptured by General Ourumov. She is being taken by car to the Janus operations base in St. Petersburg. |
| File:GE Depot.jpg | Mission 6: St. Petersburg, Part IV: Disused Military Depot The Janus operations base in St. Petersburg is located in a disused military rail depot. From here the crime syndicate coordinated illegal arms deals, international terrorism and extortion. |
| File:GE Train.jpg | Mission 6: St. Petersburg, Part V: Converted Missile Train The leader of Janus, Alec Trevelyan, is holding Natalya hostage on his armored train. |
| File:GE Jungle.jpg | Mission 7: Cuba, Part I: Cuban Jungle Satellite reconnaissance has been unable to locate any installation near the coordinates recovered from the Janus computers in St. Petersburg. It seems likely that a ground search will be necessary. The CIA has provided you with a light aircraft. Underfly Janus radar and parachute in to the drop, proceed through the jungle by eliminating any opposition and attempt to locate the Janus base. |
| File:GE Control.jpg | Mission 7: Cuba, Part II: Janus Control Center The Janus Control Center has been located in an underground complex in the Cuban jungle. |
| File:GE Caverns.jpg | Mission 7: Cuba, Part III: Subterranean Caverns The Janus Control Center communicates with the Goldeneye weapons system via a large satellite dish which is usually concealed underwater. The pumps which allow Janus to flood the communications dish are housed in a subterranean cave complex defended by crack Janus troops. |
| File:GE Cradle.jpg | Mission 7: Cuba, Part IV: Antenna Cradle, Janus Base Janus control communications have been jammed and the Goldeneye satellite orbit is decaying. Only Trevelyan and his personal bodyguard remain unaccounted for. |

The AR32, RCP90 and the Moonraker Laser can shoot through two objects at a time. No weapon can shoot through the level mesh. The weakest weapon is the Klobb.

GoldenEye Face Mapper And Tex Editor
On March 21, 2004, Ice Mario announced the creation of a Face Mapping utility for GoldenEye. This would allow a player to add their own face texture, replacing one that was already in the game. This was a feature that Rare had promised for Perfect Dark, but it never made it into the final product. On June 4, 2004 SubDrag announced a similar utility for Perfect Dark, giving players that much-desired feature.
On December 11, 2004, SubDrag announced that both he and Ice Mario had finally cracked the compression methods used in GoldenEye. This would allow players to replace up to 1,473 textures in the game with one of their own. On January 19, 2005, it was now finally possible to replace all the textures in GoldenEye, and to complement this success with the GoldenEye ROM Editor, the Perfect Dark ROM Editor was released.
The GoldenEye ROM Editor also provided some closure concerning the All Bonds feature in GoldenEye. In the beta version of the game, Rare had planned on allowing all the actors who portrayed Bond to be playable in multiplayer. This feature was scrapped due to possible copyright issues. Rare stated that all traces of the All Bonds feature had been removed from the final version of the game, however the tuxedo and face textures were still found in the programing. With the ROM Editor, it was now possible to map the textures to existing multiplayer characters, finally giving players the ability to play as their favourite James Bond.
GoldenEye Level Editor
On June 18th 2005, a certain MrHTFord notified SubDrag that he had reverse engineered GoldenEye's compression code, and thusly managed to extract 3D models of the game's levels from its code. He was able to extract these models in such a ways so that standard 3D modeling software could open the format, and manipulate the wireframes. The ultimate aim of this project is to provide a way of extracting, manipulating, and substituting the game's models - so that the game could be editted in whatever way the user sees fit. The project has yet to be completed, and work seems to have temporarily ground to a halt on it - as it has yet to be discovered how to re-compress the models so that they can be inputted into the game's code.
