Jungle Heist is a TacSim Operation in 007 First Light in which Bond returns to The Pearl, Vietnam's luxury resort, to retrieve classified documents from a guarded villa, from the villa's safe in IOI's patch notes. The whole property is playable, rooftop included, and nine challenges, from easy to hard, each pay Intel and XP. It came out on Oct 1, 2026 in the free Extended Operations update (1.3.0). IOI says "each time you play the mission will be different", and that situations can "escalate at any moment".

What do you do in Jungle Heist?
The target is one villa at The Pearl, which IOI says has a redesigned interior with "richer opportunities for stealth". You can approach across the whole resort, including its roof, and get the documents out of the safe. IOI's nine challenges are mixed: some reward quiet play, some reward creative use of gadgets and the surroundings, and the hardest are for players who have "truly mastered the villa". IOI has not published the challenge names, and no guide site we could cite had a Jungle Heist walkthrough as of Nov 4, 2026.
The Pearl is the setting of the campaign's mission 08, Time to Die. The Year One Roadmap promised a return there where "a new enemy has taken over the facility"; Jungle Heist is the Vietnam content that has shipped, though IOI's posts on it do not mention a new enemy. Like all of TacSim, it needs an online connection, and IOI's posts do not say what unlocks it beyond the update. Its Intel goes toward the TacSim rewards listed on the TacSim page.
