Achievements List#
007 First Light has 37 Steam achievements, and the PS5 version adds one Platinum trophy on top for a total of 38. The overall design is quite friendly: there are no difficulty-related trophies and nothing missable — after the credits you can use Chapter Select to slowly fill in the gaps.
1. Overview#
| Category | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Story | 18 | Unlock automatically as the story progresses; cannot be missed |
| Collectibles | 6 | Tied to the five collectible categories among the 92 items + collecting them all |
| Combat | 7 | Specific combat actions (knockdowns, disarms, electrification, and more) |
| Gear | 2 | Specific gadget uses |
| TacSim (incl. online) | 4 | Tactical simulation content unlocked after the credits |
| Platinum (PS5 only) | 1 | Collect every other trophy |
The rough cost of the Platinum: about 15–20 hours for a first playthrough, plus another 10–15 hours for collectibles and challenge cleanup. There is no competitive online requirement — TacSim challenges are co-op/solo in nature.
2. Story Achievements (18)#

| A collector’s habit | Collect all 92 collectibles | 92 items |
4. Combat Achievements (7)#
These require specific actions in combat, can all be done on any difficulty, and the easiest places to grind them are the training levels and the mid-to-late chapters where enemies come in groups.
| Achievement | Condition |
|---|---|
| Soft landing | Grab an enemy and shove them off a high ledge |
| Sleight of hand | Shoot the weapon out of an enemy’s hand |
| Positively shocking | Make an electrified enemy shock their own companion |
| Short fuse | Hit an enemy at the instant they throw a grenade |
| He’ll live | Fire repeatedly at an enemy’s legs to bring them down |

| Damp squib | Hack a grenade with the Q Watch before it explodes |
5. Gear Achievements (2)#
| Achievement | Condition |
|---|---|
| Disarming personality | Disarm an armed enemy with a laser-type gadget |
| Always have an exit plan | Use a single item to get out of a frontal confrontation |
6. TacSim Achievements (4)#
The tactical simulation content unlocked after the credits. These four involve the Operations and Escalations modes and require pushing your rank and challenge tiers upward.
| Achievement | Condition |
|---|---|
| What if…? | Complete an Operation in TacSim |
| A Change of pace | Complete an Escalation in TacSim |
| Keep moving forward | Reach Clearance Level 3 in TacSim |
| The readiness is all | Clear floor 3 of any Escalation |
7. The Platinum Trophy#
On PS5, the Platinum unlocks after you collect every other trophy — think of it as “My name is Bond, James Bond.” Because there are no difficulty trophies, no missable risk, and Chapter Select is always available, this Platinum belongs to the relatively friendly category.
8. An Efficient Order for Earning Achievements#
- First playthrough: advance the story normally and pick up the 18 story achievements along the way — don’t obsess over collectibles;
- Chapter cleanup: after the credits, work through the 92 collectibles from the checklist while farming the combat achievements;
- Gear achievements: once you have the laser gear, circle back for the 2 gear achievements;
- TacSim: take on the tactical simulation last, grab the 4 related achievements, and unlock the Platinum.
Because collectible progress carries across saves and Chapter Select is always available, none of this requires a dedicated extra playthrough.
9. Steam vs. PS5 Differences#
| Platform | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Steam | 37 achievements | No Platinum |
| PS5 | 38 trophies | One extra Platinum trophy |
Everything else maps one-to-one between the two versions, with progress tracked separately. On PS5, story trophies display as hidden until earned, so the list looks shorter than it really is.
