Playing Cards — 007 First Light Collectibles Guide

Overview

Playing Cards are the largest collectible set in 007 First Light. There are 36 of them, and finishing the set unlocks Casino Royale (Silver) — the obvious trophy name for the cards, given that Casino Royale is both the first Bond novel and the most card-centric film in the franchise. They also feed A Collector’s Habit (Gold).

These are not a real 52-card deck. The game uses a custom four-suit system based on a German-pattern Skat deck: Acorns, Roses, Bells, Shields, with ranks running 6, 7, 8, 9, Under (Unter), Ober, King, Banner, Ace. So when the in-game menu shows “Banner of Shields” or “Ober of Bells”, those are legit rank/suit combos — not typos. Most cards are face-up on tables, balconies, and shelves, but a few require a puzzle code, a Laser Strap padlock, or a stealth detour to reach.

Puzzle codes you’ll need

  • Manager’s Office safe (Ch.8 All the Time in the World) — 1952
  • Maintenance room (Ch.11 The Courtyard) — 3256

All 36 Playing Cards

Community guides (PowerPyx, NeonLightsMedia, Sportskeeda) have confirmed 31+ specific locations at the time of writing; the final 4–5 are still being finalized as Day-3 guides settle. The in-game menu groups them by suit, not by chapter, so the # column below is the canonical pickup-order tracker.

Tips

  • The cards are face-up most of the time — Q-Watch scan helps but is not strictly required.
  • The two puzzle codes (1952, 3256) are easy to forget on a blind run. Pin them somewhere you can see them.
  • Laser Strap opens the padlock holding Ace of Roses in Chapter 10 and several other pickups elsewhere. Keep it equipped from Chapter 9.

Per-pickup location tables will live here once Step 6 content lands.
