There are nine possible spawn locations.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://forums.the-elite.net/index.php?topic=18518.msg384646#msg384646|title=the-elite facts topic post on flight recorder spawn|access-date=July 16, 2021}}</ref>

[[Image:goldeneye_statue_flight_recorder_spawn.png|border|flight recorder spawn locations]]

  −
To determine the spawn location, the game rolls a random number up to 256. Location #1 is given a 31/256 chance (12.1%), location #9 is given a 15/256 chance (5.85%), and the remaining seven locations are each given a 30/256 chance (11.7%). This means #1 has the highest probability, next up being #9, then all the others tied.

The chances of getting the optimal #2 is 1 in 8.53.

And since in most runs we tend to go a bit more right towards the wall it does seem that in most cases hitting the right side of the Lenin statue is going to spawn Trevelyan faster.

When leaving the statue for B completion, you must remain within 140 units of preset 3B.<ref name="trev encounter" />

Trev asking you to put your gun away temporarily stops his speech timers. After Bond says "Alec? You're Janus?", the objective will complete in 5s. The Trev objective fails if you fire at guards or go beyond 140 units of a spot near the statue. <ref name="function explorer misc facts">{{cite web | url=https://forums.the-elite.net/index.php?topic=18518.msg455830#msg455830|title=the-elite Goldeneye facts topic post on miscellaneous function explorer facts|author=Icy|access-date=July 16, 2021}}</ref>

* Janus guards have 40 health and 20 armor (on normal difficulties).   <ref name="function explorer misc facts" />
  −
* All spawn guards have an 81 / 256 chance (~31.6%) chance to run, and a 175 / 256 (~68.4%) chance to jog when looking for Bond. When they are leaving the level, they will always run.
  −
* Spawn guards respawn every 2s and start spawning immediately. The first 4 spawns cannot pull Grenades, but all others after can.
  −
* New spawn guards after Valentin on the way to the statue occur if the previous ones have died or left the level.
  −
* Spawn guards each have 4 locations they can spawn in, depending on where you are in the level.

The strat described in Agent difficulty also applies to Secret Agent with very few exceptions.  You are more likely to get boosts, which will aid with the speed factor of this [[WR]].  The [[Trev Shot]] is easier to perform, as a body shot (which gives the fastest recoveries) does not kill Trev and will work.
