The Golden Gun is one of the two strongest weapons in the game (The other being the Gold PP7). Its only solo appearance is in the secret bonus mission Egyptian, but it is available afterward as its own cheat. Due to its power, it can kill anyone in one hit, regardless of whether they have armor or not. The Golden Gun is a difficult weapon to use because it only holds one bullet at a time, and must be reloaded every time it is fired.

The Golden Gun is available in multiplayer in its own weapon set titled, fittingly enough, Golden Gun. It is also the focus of the Man with the Golden Gun scenario, where points can only be scored by killing opponents with this weapon.

In order to get the Golden Gun in Egyptian, Bond must walk through a room only touching the correct floor tiles. If he missteps, a bulletproof glass shield will surround the weapon, and four alcoves containing drone guns will open. Bond must then flee the room in order to close the drone gun alcoves, which will allow him to attempt to retrieve the Gun again.

[edit] Notes

This weapon is the one used by the assassin Francisco Scaramanga in The Man with the Golden Gun. The background section of Egyptian's briefing mentions Scaramanga, calling him the deadliest assassin of all time.

When a guard is assigned this weapon, they will fire it like an automatic pistol, which is much faster than Bond can fire it. This can be seen in an unmodified game by using a cheat to give Bond the Golden Gun in Depot. Trigger the ending cutscene with the Gun equipped, and without killing the guards on Trevelyan's train. Bond will then proceed to kill the guards by firing the Gun like an automatic.
