Best to sneak up on them to land the killing blow or pacify them. In close quarter combat it is a good idea not to take on more than two enemies at once. At times, though, you will have to cope with low visibility – often in the coastal areas -, which is awesome. ![]() The scope will assist you immensely in landing the perfect kill shot with your rifle. So, keep your distance, sound-mask your shots and relocate before the enemy makes your position. That is especially true for the Wolf Mountain-DLC. Your best option is playing it stealthy, since alarms raised mean reinforcements and you will be very quickly outgunned and outnumbered with nowhere to go. I really like the mix of stealth, tactical shooting and combat that SNIPER ELITE offers. Here’s what the new Skill Tree looks like. But, it makes things more difficult, which is a plus in my book. Yes, you can take them out without killing them.Īs for tanks and armored cars, you will find that it is no longer possible to easily shoot the driver or gunner, which was one of my highlights in SNIPER ELITE 4. While Jäger and officers will frequently resist a frontal assault when you try to take them out in close quarters, normal grunts are easy to kill. That one will be patrolling some maps so tagging them is a good idea to avoid being spotted while relocating to a new hiding spot. Also, some tanks and armored vehicles, and a new edition, the motorbike. There are grunts, tougher Jäger troops, elite Vampire Jäger troops – as opposed to the Valkyrie Jäger troops of SNIPER ELITE 4 – officers and snipers you have to deal with. Speaking of up close and personal, there are a few changes to enemies, too. ![]() So I really had to go in up close and personal, which was also great. It would be easy taking them out from a distance, despite the fog obscuring the view at times, but I had accidentally packed a Gewehr, a rifle with zero scoping ability. ![]() There are also a few snipers covering the approach. There are a couple of really hairy missions, not least of all the third one, Spy Academy, which has Karl sneak into a close quarters city crawling with Nazis. Which is why this soon turns into Karl’s private crusade against Müller, who unhappily accepts the challenge. Yep, our boy Karl aka Desert Ghost aka The Shadow is a very notorious commando. Maybe Adebar? Adalbert? His conversations with his underlings and Karl himself are basically a recap of Fairburne’s previous adventures. His last name is Müller, his first name unpronouncable, at least I, as a native speaker, did not understand it and I had the subtitles disabled. Then there is the bad guy, who is a properly evil Nazi, of course. Almost felt like Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, but only almost. She is also the liaison to the French resistance which in turn is represented by another woman named Marie. Mostly, that is Charlie aka Blue Viper, his informant on the ground. There are a few people Karl gets to interact with. SNIPER ELITE is Karl Fairburne’s show and while the games usually have at least one sidekick to engage in some banter – with the exception of SNIPER ELITE V2 – the supporting cast simply serves to offer some clues and tips concerning the missions and the overall goal.
