Invasion Mode is exactly what it sounds like: You drop into another person’s game, taking on the role of an Axis Sniper, and can use the in-game enemies to help you track down the host player. Teamwork makes the dream work.īut if that sounds a little too… nice for your liking, maybe Invasion Mode will be more up your street. There’s also a co-op horde mode called Survival, where you and up to three others can work together to take out waves of enemies. To encourage teamwork, you can give orders to the other player, share items and ammo, and even heal each other. The game even has crossplay, so it doesn’t matter which platform you’re all on. If you want to get your buds in on the action, then have no fear: You can tackle Sniper Elite 5 in co-op. And if getting the kill cam with sniper rifles wasn’t enough for you, SMGs and pistols will also trigger it, as can knives and traps. You’ll still get the grisly x-ray camera shots of bullets passing through Nazi skulls, but now the bullets can be deflected by bones unpredictably. I mentioned the kill cam earlier, and yes, it’s back, with Rebellion doing their darndest to make it the most realistic version yet. The dev team visited Northern France, Brittany, Normandy, and Calais, as well as examined Sub Pens and bunkers still left over from WW2. To help the maps become the “most immersive,” Rebellion used a technique called photogrammetry: Instead of an artist modelling buildings from scratch, developers take hundreds of photographs, which are then fed into a program, which then spits out a 3D model that’s then cleaned up and put into the game. ![]() In order to help you get around the huge spaces, traversal has been overhauled, so Karl can slide, shimmy, climb, and even zipline around. When it comes to map size, Rebellion is calling Sniper Elite 5's maps the largest and "most immersive" in the series' history. The team worked with a number of British museums, including the Imperial War Museum and the Royal Armouries (hey, that place sounds familiar) to capture reference images of the weapons, as well as record the audio of them firing to ensure they’re as accurate to the real thing as possible. On the other side of things there are tons of Accessibility options like colorblind modes, aim assist even with mouse and keyboard, and text color options to name a few. That should make mil-sim enthusiasts happy. Higher difficulty levels like Hard and Authentic change a lot of the game and do things like add more bullet drop, reduce active reloading, crank up the impact of wind as well as reduce the HUD, disable radar, and turn off your ability to zoom further when looking through a scope and holding your breath. During missions, you’ll find secrets that can shift your objectives or open up new routes and unlockable starting areas peppered around maps. Common playstyles are stealth, power, speed, and control and there are even non-lethal options now. Sniper Elite 5 is more intentionally designed to encompass a range of playstyles to encourage replayability, but the core gameplay loop remains the same: observe, plan, and execute. Not only does your weapon matter when it comes to taking those crucial shots, but so do other factors like wind, gravity, and Karl’s heart rate. Sniper Elite 5 has a wide range of classic World War 2 weapons like the M1903 Springfield and Karabiner 98 as well as experimental prototypes, including the SREM-1 Enfield bullpup sniper rifle and the BSA Welgun submachine gun. ![]() Rebellion estimate that there are over 200 pieces of weaponry to unlock, meaning you can tinker until you find the balance that suits you best. ![]() There are four stats that are impacted: Power, rate of fire, mobility, and control. Swap scopes, barrels, mags, ammo type, and stocks to your heart’s content. Every level has a number of workbenches that not only unlock various attachments for your weapons but allow you to customize them to your liking. They now all sport iron sights that you can look through in first person. Weapons have been overhauled for the game, and there are a number of customization options available for each. In terms of gameplay, yes, you’ll still be shooting Nazis in the head (or other places) and get those gory x-ray kill cams, just like in previous Sniper Elite games, but the team at Rebellion has made a lot of tweaks and additions for the fifth instalment.
