007 First Light is a new stealth adventure game from IO Interactive that tells the tale of how James Bond became the secret agent we all know. Throughout this game you’ll engage in classic spycraft, use ridiculous gadgets, and beat up all manner of bad guys.

You’ll also be able to obtain a ton of collectibles that span the gamut from MI6 intel files on all the major characters to mementos tied to each of the major locations. However, the most prevalent collectibles are the playing cards, which are absolutely littered throughout the game.

Playing Card Locations – Casino Royale Achievement

With 36 in total, you can easily miss a few of these playing cards if you’re not diligent about looking everywhere. Keep in mind, the playing cards are not a complete deck as you’d traditionally find them, and there will often be multiple cards in a single mission. These can be easily missed, and your reward for finding them all is the Casino Royale achievement.

Additionally, we are covering the cards in the mission order you will come across them. These are not in order as they appear in their tab within the Collectibles menu. With this open, you should be able to play through the game chronologically and find every single one along your journey.

Here is where to find every playing card in 007 First Light:

  • 7 Of Acorns — Against All Odds


    The first playing card you’ll come across is in the opening mission. Once you’ve infiltrated the base and can explore with your mask on, make your way down the main path until a vehicle accidentally crashes and blocks your path. To the right of the control panel you use to move the BT, you will find the 7 Acorns card on some metal shelves.

  • Under Of Acorns — A New Home


    This card is a bit weird to get, as it spawns after you initially leave the area it’s supposed to be in. After Greenway has given you the speech before your advanced training, head down and unlock the first gate via hacking the control box with your Q-Watch. Once the gate is up, turn around and go back to where Greenway was lecturing you. Head up the stairs, and you’ll find the card sitting along the railing.

  • 7 Of Roses — A New Home


    Later in A New Home, progress through the level until you are attempting to steal the flag at the SAS compound during the night. Make your way all the way to the far side of the compound, on the other end of the building, towards the dock. Look for a Leader guard wandering around the docks who is carrying a key. You can tell who this is by using your watch to see if there’s a key highlighted by his waist. Knock out the guard, take his key, and use it to open the double doors into the basement. When you enter the basement, look for a large storage room with three guards in it. Take them out however you see fit, and then grab the 7 of Roses card on the pile of pallets in the back right corner.
