Complete walkthrough for the 52 Pickup mission in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, including Gambit fight strategies and collectible locations.
Walkthrough

- 2Follow Gambit to the Upper Atrium.
- 3Find Gambit on the exterior of the Corbeau Casino.
- 4Catch a ride on the helicopter.
- 5Follow Gambit to the Crane.
- 6To defeat Gambit, keep your distance and deflect his ranged card attacks. A successful deflection stuns him, allowing for a lunge attack. Follow up with a Fury attack for extra damage.
- 7When Gambit leaps to the platforms in the background, be prepared for a barrage of ranged attacks. Deflect one and lunge to his position. Rapidly press Square (light attack) to bash his head into the wall. Repeat this sequence on both platforms.
- 8After Gambit leaves the balcony, continue the fight on the lower ground as you did on the upper level.
- 9When Gambit leaps to the platform in front of the window, deflect an energy attack and lunge at him to trigger a cinematic.
- 10Rapidly press the on-screen button to lift Wolverine off the statue before it explodes.
- 11Grab the Health Boost and head up the stairs.
- 12After the cinematic with Gambit fleeing, pick up the Dog Tags to the left.
- 13Defeat the numerous enemies, including Goliaths, guards, and Ghosts.
- 14Push the large block over to the scaffolding with the rope dangling above and climb the rope.
- 15Leap across the gap in the platforms, then double jump to the rope leading to the balcony.
- 16Move to the right side of the balcony for Dog Tags.
- 17Kick in the door to the left and move down the hall. Destroy the door at the end of the hall to enter the next area.
- 18Pick up the Dog Tags on the right, then defeat the guards and Ghosts.
- 19Grab the Dog Tags at the base of the stairs and go up.
- 20The cinematic at the top of the stairs introduces the Assassin. Assassins cannot be quick killed on the first try unless some damage is done first. They attack with dual-edged blades and are quick, but susceptible to rage attacks and counters. A quick kill is available if they are weakened first.
- 21Grab the Blood Rage Mutagen from the room on the right before kicking down the main door.
- 22Defeat all enemies, including Weapon X grunts and Gambit's Assassins, as Gambit flees up an elevator.
- 23Pick up the Dog Tags up the stairs to the right.
- 24Grab the Health Boost behind the water fountain.
- 25Push the large block under the scaffolding and jump up.
- 26Defeat the guards and two Grenadiers to the left.
- 27Move across the rope to the distant balcony for Dog Tags, then back to the platform between the giant statues.
- 28From the platform, lunge at the enemy inside the elevator.
- 29Use the room to Wolverine's left to get Dog Tags.
- 30Move past the elevators and get the Health Boost on the scaffolding.
- 31Walk across the beam in front of the elevators to reach the other side.
- 32Defeat the two Assassins and continue to pursue Gambit.
- 33Once up the stairs where Gambit was last seen, a helicopter attacks. Pick up the Dog Tags on the left side.
- 34Ignoring the helicopter, use the platforms in front of the window to gain height.
- 35Once at the top, the helicopter will begin firing missiles and enter the building. Run away as the ground below is destroyed. Jumping over obstacles can assist Wolverine's departure.
- 36Once through the window, a new objective is received.
- 37Kick in the door and fight off the three Assassins.
- 38After the Assassins are dead, Goliaths and guards enter from the left-hand window.
- 39Exit to the ledge and climb the ladder.
- 40On the other side of the roof is a set of Dog Tags.
- 41Return to the ladder and pass it. Climb the wall behind the wooden platform.
- 42At the top, continue to traverse the outside of the building until the Assassins attack.
- 43Upon their defeat, enter the area they came from to find a Savage Mutagen.
- 44Continue forward, and Wolverine will meet back up with Gambit.
- 45Stand at the top and deflect Gambit's ranged attacks for a couple of cheap blows.
- 46Jump down and continue the fight. When Gambit is at a distance, deflect his ranged attacks. When he uses his staff, try to counter and keep on the offensive.
- 47When Gambit's health depletes enough, he will energize the bridge, destroying it. Balance across the beams to continue the pursuit.

Tips
- When fighting Gambit, deflecting his ranged attacks is key to creating openings for your own attacks.
- Assassins are best dealt with using rage attacks and counters, or by weakening them first for a quick kill.
- During the helicopter attack, focus on evasion and using the environment to your advantage.
- Use the environment to your advantage when fighting in tight spaces or on precarious platforms.
