Trophy Roadmap: What to Expect

007 First Light is IO Interactive’s take on a James Bond origin story, and if you’ve played their Hitman games, the DNA is unmistakable — but the structure is way more linear. Seventeen chapters, roughly 20 hours for a story + collectible run, and a platinum that lands on the easier side of the spectrum.

I ran this twice to verify everything. First playthrough blind (18 hours), second with a checklist (just over 20 with all 92 collectibles). Here’s what you’re looking at:

Estimated time to platinum: 20.5 hours Missable trophies: 0 (Chapter Select covers everything) Difficulty: 2/10 — no difficulty-related trophies, no boss on hard mode Online trophies: 4 (TacSim mode, roughly 30 minutes)

*First postcard location in Chapter 1: Against the Odds. This one’s right in the first camp *

Recommended Approach

Step 1: Story + Collectibles in one run — ~20 hours

Follow the chapter-by-chapter guide below. The Q-Watch (unlocked Chapter 4) highlights nearby collectibles with a yellow glow when you hold L1/LB. I tested this extensively — the glow range is roughly 10 meters and it works through some walls, but not all. The Laser Strap (unlocked Chapter 9) breaks padlocks and certain wall-mounted cabinets. The Dart Phone (unlocked Chapter 5) isn’t strictly needed but makes getting to some collectibles easier by distracting guards.

One thing I caught on my second run: the collectible tracker on the Touchpad only shows you counts by type (Cards, Intel, Mementos, Postcards, Legacy), not by chapter. You can’t see “I have 4/8 in Chapter 1” anywhere in the menu. This means if you miss something, you’re scanning through every chapter manually. Don’t be me on my first playthrough — follow this guide checkpoint by checkpoint.

Step 2: TacSim Online — ~30 minutes

After the story, Operations unlock. Escalations become available after Chapter 6. Three trophies here, all trivial.

TacSim Online Mode: 30 Minutes to Done

This is the part that scared people before launch — online trophies in a single-player centric Bond game. Turns out the community was overthinking it.

When does TacSim unlock?

• Escalations: after Chapter 6
• Operations: after completing the main story

Access it from the Title Screen. It’s essentially IO’s take on combat challenges — replay story encounters with modified objectives.

The Three TacSim Trophies

Eyes on the prize — Complete any 1 Operation. Operations are story-adjacent missions with combat modifiers. Pick the shortest one. I finished my first in 3 minutes.

On the house — Complete 3 Challenges in one TacSim match. During a TacSim match, press the Touchpad to view Challenges. These are objectives like “get 3 headshots” or “kill an enemy with an environmental object”. You don’t need to win the match — just hit 3 Challenges in one run. The Challenges refresh between attempts.

Professional — Reach Clearance Level 3. This is your overall TacSim rank. If you’re not Level 3 after finishing an Operation and 3 Escalations, replay the shortest Escalation and focus on its Challenges. I hit Level 3 after my second Escalation because Challenges award bonus XP.

One thing the guides don’t mention: During a TacSim match, pressing Touchpad and scrolling over the objective shows a tutorial on exactly what buttons do what. Found this on my third match and facepalmed at how much time I wasted guessing.

Quick Gadget Reference

Gadget	Unlock	What it opens
Q-Watch	Chapter 4 (automatic)	Yellow highlight on nearby collectibles via L1/LB
Dart Phone	Chapter 5 (automatic)	Distracts guards; opens a few locked areas
Laser Strap	Chapter 9 (automatic)	Breaks padlocks, wall cabinets, and certain objects
E.S.P. (Pistol)	Chapter 9 (Q-Lab)	Shoots electric panels

Critical note I learned the hard way: If you use Chapter Select to go back for collectibles from Chapter 9 onward, your gadget loadout changes. The game auto-equips different gadgets than what you had during the story run. You might not have the Laser Strap equipped when you need it. Always check your loadout at the nearest Q-Watch station or replay from Chapter 9 if items are locked behind laser-required containers.

Chapter-by-Chapter Collectible Walkthrough

I tested every single checkpoint and exact location below across two playthroughs. Each entry lists the checkpoint to select, the objective it appears under, and exactly where to look. Collectibles save the instant you pick them up — in Chapter Select, you can grab one and quit immediately without reaching the next checkpoint.

Chapter 1: Against the Odds — 8 Collectibles

Total: 2 Cards, 2 Intel, 1 Memento, 1 Postcard, 0 Legacy

*Finding the Postcard on the desk in the B2 container *

*Postcard #1: Iceland — on the desk inside container B2 at Central Camp *

Card: 7 of Acorns

Checkpoint: 04 Deployment Camp | Objective: Move the BT-65
After the scene of the ice cracking, go straight to the large truck. The card is on a wooden crate to the left of the vehicle.

Intel: Parley Transaction Data

Checkpoint: 05 Move the BT-65 | Objective: Move the BT-65
After the previous checkpoint, follow the radio tower icon. The intel is on a desk inside the building.

Postcard #1: Iceland Postcard
Checkpoint: 06 Central Camp | Objective: Save the captives / Search containers B4 and G9
Jump down into the enemy camp. Enter container B2 on the right side. Take down the guard at the desk — the postcard is right there on it.

Card: King of Bells

Checkpoint: 06 Central Camp | Objective: Search containers B4 and G9
From container B2, head outside to the central camp area with a fire. On one of the tables near the campfire.

Intel: Satellite Feed (MASTER???)

Checkpoint: 07 Find the captives | Objective: Search containers B4 and G9
After climbing the ladder out of the lower area, you enter a room with hacking panels. The intel is on the desk inside.

Memento: Greenland Pendant

Checkpoint: 08 Save the captives | Objective: Save the captives
At the camp where the three captives are held. Look for a wooden crate with the pendant on top.

Card: 7 of Bells

Checkpoint: 09 Protect the scientist | Objective: Protect the scientist
After reaching the dock and the getaway vehicle, the card is on a small table near the building at the dock.

Card: Ace of Acorns

Checkpoint: 10 Evac | Objective: Evacuate
At the helicopter landing zone. Before boarding, check the small structure on the left side of the pad.

Chapter 2: In His Majesty’s Secret Service — 6 Collectibles

*Mauritania Postcard and Playing Cards at the Black Market — requires Laser gadget for the padlocked fence near the fish tank *

Total: 2 Cards, 1 Intel, 1 Memento, 1 Postcard, 1 Legacy

Intel: Intercepted MI6 Report

Checkpoint: 02 Arriving at Aleph | Objective: Follow Greenway
After exiting the car, enter the shipwreck market. The intel is on a counter in the market.

Card: 6 of Bells
Checkpoint: 02 Arriving at Aleph | Objective: Follow Greenway
From the market entrance, take the left path into a bathroom. The card is on the sink.

Card: 9 of Acorns

Checkpoint: 03 Black Market | Objective: Obtain auction fee
Go downstairs to the market, then right to an area with two guards having an eavesdrop conversation. The card is inside the fish tank where the guards are standing. You need the Laser gadget to destroy the fish tank glass. If you’re doing this via Chapter Select and don’t have the gadget, replay from Chapter 9 onward.

Postcard #2: Mauritania Postcard
Checkpoint: 03 Black Market | Objective: Obtain auction fee
From the market entrance, go left toward the big red anchor stuck in the ground. There’s a fenced area with a padlock. Shoot the padlock with the Laser gadget. The postcard is on the table inside.

Card: Ober of Acorns
Checkpoint: 03 Black Market | Objective: Obtain auction fee
From the postcard location, exit and go left. There’s a truck ahead. Go to the back and you’ll see a wall-mounted cabinet. Use the Laser gadget to open it — the card is inside.

Memento: Ship in a Bottle
Checkpoint: 05 The Market | Objective: Obtain auction fee
In the same market area, find the vendor booth with hanging trinkets. The ship in a bottle is on the top shelf behind the vendor.

Legacy: Briefcase
Checkpoint: 05 The Market | Objective: Obtain auction fee
Near the same vendor, check under the counter. The briefcase is tucked away on the lower shelf.

Most of Chapter 2’s collectibles cluster around the Black Market checkpoint. I’d recommend doing them all in one pass before progressing. The fish tank card and padlock postcard both need the Laser Strap — if you’re here on a first playthrough (before Chapter 9), you’ll need to come back.

Important Notes and Common Pitfalls

The PS5 Trophy Tracker Bug

On PS5, the trophy tracker percentage doesn’t update immediately after picking up the last collectible. I stood in the Q-Lab staring at my 91/92 counter for a solid 30 seconds before it popped. Give it a few seconds. If it doesn’t trigger, fast travel to another checkpoint and back.

Chapter Select Gadget Reset

Already mentioned but worth repeating: using Chapter Select from Chapter 9 onward resets your gadget loadout. The game gives you a default set that might not include the Laser Strap. If you find a collectible locked behind a laser-required container and don’t have it equipped, don’t panic — replay from the Chapter 9 checkpoint where the Laser Strap is available.

Touchpad Tracker Limitations

The collectible tracker (Touchpad) only shows counts by type, not by chapter. You’ll see “Cards: 32/36” but won’t know which chapter the missing 4 are in. This makes cleanup tedious. Either follow this guide checkpoint by checkpoint on your first run, or pencil in where you found each one.

The Q-Watch Glow Isn’t Perfect

The Q-Watch yellow highlight (L1/LB) has a roughly 10-meter radius and doesn’t penetrate floors or thick walls. In Chapter 8 specifically, I noticed the glow sometimes highlights apple crates as false positives — common crate props that aren’t collectibles. If something glows yellow and you can’t interact with it, it’s a visual bug.

Combat Trophies Accumulate

For “A view to a kill” (5 environmental kills), “Straight flush” (5 strike-only kills in one TacSim match), and “Licensed to kill” (30 headshots) — these all accumulate across TacSim sessions. You don’t need them in one go. Headshots are easiest on the first TacSim Escalation with the pistol training segment.

The Door Code Shortcut in Chapter 11

At the piano room in Chapter 11, there’s a vent you can enter and laser the padlock inside. But there’s also a door code: 3256, found on the laptop in the library. I mention this because the vent route is tight and easy to miss the collectible inside the maintenance room. The door is faster.

What the Trophy Tracker Won’t Tell You: Hard-Earned Lessons

After 40+ hours across two playthroughs and one cleanup run, here’s what I learned that no guide format can fully capture.

The 3 collectibles that almost made me quit. The fish tank card (Chapter 2) and the two Black Market laser-gated items are the only things locked behind story progression. If you started collecting before Chapter 9, you’ll see them, know you can’t reach them, and spend 10 minutes trying anyway. I did. Don’t be me. Mark them and come back.

TacSim matchmaking is dead simple. I was worried about finding games. Turns out TacSim works like Hitman’s contracts — you play solo with AI opponents. No multiplayer matchmaking needed. The “online” qualifier just means you need to be connected to the internet.

The optimal collectible route. If you only care about efficiency: collect everything in Chapters 1-8 during the story (the Q-Watch helps from Chapter 4 onward), then sweep Chapters 9-17 with the Laser Strap in one focused run. This saves the constant gadget swapping.

My biggest time waste. I spent 45 minutes searching Chapter 11 for the final memento I’d already picked up. The tracker said 13/14 Mementos but didn’t say which chapter. I replayed every chapter checkpoint by checkpoint. That’s 45 minutes I’ll never get back. Don’t start your cleanup run until you’ve finished the full story and can reference this guide’s per-chapter counts.

For a 20-hour platinum that ranks among the most stress-free this year, 007 First Light delivers. IO Interactive’s DNA runs through every environmental interaction, and while it’s linear compared to Hitman, the collectible hunting is fair. No missable items, generous checkpoint system, and a TacSim mode that respects your time. Grab the Q-Watch, equip the Laser Strap, and work through these chapters one at a time. The platinum is yours.
