007 First Light Guide: How to Find All 36 Playing Cards

Searching a heavily guarded mercenary camp for scattered playing cards is a terrible use of MI6 time, but you need to find them all if you want that Casino Royale achievement.

James Bond is supposed to be saving the world, but IO Interactive decided to hide 36 random playing cards across the globe for you to hunt down. The deck in this game is entirely fictional, featuring weird suits like Acorns, Bells, Shields, and Roses. If you missed a few on your initial playthrough, do not panic. You do not need to replay the entire story. 007 First Light has a highly forgiving Chapter Select menu that lets you drop directly into specific checkpoints. The moment you pick up a card, the game auto saves your progress. You can grab the collectible and immediately quit to the main menu.

Essential Loadout Prep

Before you start jumping around the timeline to clean up your missing cards, you need to fix your gadget loadout.

When you hit Chapter 9 and access the Q-Lab, you absolutely must equip the Laser Strap. Several cards in the later chapters are locked behind heavy metal panels, padlocks, and bolted vent covers. If you load into Chapter 10 or Chapter 11 without the laser equipped, you will be physically locked out of reaching the collectibles and forced to back out to the main menu to fix your gear.
