Iceland — 007 First Light Location Guide

Overview

Iceland is the first location 007 First Light shows you. A pair of SAS helicopters are shot down during a hostage-retrieval operation, leaving trainee aircrewman James Bond as the sole survivor. Defying direct orders to abort, he infiltrates the camp on foot, frees the captive scientists, and destroys the satellite-research installation that drew MI6’s attention in the first place. The choice he makes in the snow is what lands him in front of M back in London — Iceland is the audition that earns him a spot in the 00 programme.

The map is built around a frozen central camp ringed by shipping containers (B2, B4, F8, G9), a hill overlook on the south rim, and a BT-65 tracked vehicle parked in the deployment area. The vibe is cold-war Greenland-but-prettier: long sightlines through blowing snow, sparse cover, and patrolling Watchers between huts. It is also the only location in the game that does double duty across the story — the prologue sets up the helicopter crash, and Chapter 1 (still tagged “Against the Odds”) sends you back through the same compound at a higher difficulty.

Chapters set here

  • Prologue — Against All Odds — SAS retrieval gone wrong. Cinematic helicopter crash, hostage rescue tutorial, container raid.
  • Chapter 1 — Against the Odds — Returns to the camp after the SAS prologue. Introduces the BT-65 vehicle puzzle and the first proper License-to-Kill set piece.

Sub-areas

  • Hill overlook — south-rim sniper perch with line of sight on the central camp
  • Central Camp — patrol loop with three guard posts and an oil-drum fire
  • Shipping containers — labeled B2, B4, F8, G9, each hiding a pickup
  • Deployment area — BT-65 tracked vehicle, control panel, metal shelving
  • Comms hut — interior with the first MI6 satellite-uplink dossier

Notable collectibles here

  • Iceland Postcard (Ch.1, container B2 — desk inside, takedown the guard first)
  • Satellite Part Memento (container G9, on the desk facing the entrance)
  • Cruciform Key — Legacy Item #1 (container F8, sneak in from the hill, shelf next to the broken screen)
  • 7 of Acorns playing card (deployment camp — metal shelves right of the BT-65 control panel)

That’s four pickups in a single sweep — Iceland is one of the densest tutorials in the game for collectible practice.

Trophies tied to this location

  • Icebreaker (Bronze) — Survive the helicopter crash. Story-tied; auto-unlocks during the prologue.
